Hello Buffett families! Do you love stories with adventure, heart, and abnormally large fruit? Then you're in luck! This year, Buffett Drama is performing James and the Giant Peach for our fall play. We would love for you and your family to join us on Friday, October 25th at 7pm on Saturday, October 26th at 2pm to watch James and his friends travel through land, air, and sea to a brighter, more magical world. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for kids. We can't wait to see you there!

It is wonderful to see our Bobcats enjoying the after school athletics and activities. We have a busy week ahead, so check out the opportunities for your Bobcats on the Athletic and Activities calendar linked below.

6th grade science classes made s'mores outside last week using the sun to heat the ingredients! It was a little bit of a waiting game compared to normal ways of melting the marshmallows and chocolate. The classes have been studying energy and the three forms of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation). They made solar ovens to demonstrate heat transfer. They wanted to see if the sun could melt our s'mores.

Check out these 8th grade HSP students having fun in class. We love to see the team work and critical thinking skills at work.

Buffett had several students attend last year and they loved it! Email Ms. Howe rachel.howe@ops.org or one of your child's teachers for a letter of recommendation!
