Hi, Bobcats! Please consider joining us for our upcoming Family Literacy Night! We want to welcome you into our library, share resources, and connect you to other community resources to help your child(ren) grow in their literacy skills. There will be read-alouds, prizes and giveaways, and of course lots of books to check out from the library.
Come and make literacy a family event with us!

Buffett Student Activities and Athletics
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.
Bobcats Attend Mini Medical School
A couple weekends ago, a few Buffett students took the opportunity to attend Creighton University's Mini Medical School where students and their parents learn about careers in the health field and the process of applying to medical school.
Spirit Week Fun!
Buffett teachers and students enjoyed spirit week. Check out what we captured!
UNL Campus Tour
40+ eighth graders from Buffett traveled to Lincoln last week to go on a campus tour of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. The students learned about UNL offerings, toured the campus, and enjoyed a buffet lunch in the student center.
Samuel Bak Museum Visit
Some Bobcats visited the Samuel Bak Museum this week to analyze the current exhibit After the Storm: Identity and Repair and learn about how Samuel Bak reconceived his Jewish identity after the Holocaust. The students also teamed up with middlers schoolers from Norris to complete a collaborative art piece.
Happy Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day! On Monday we honored and thanked all of the individuals who have served in the armed forces for their bravery, sacrifice, and dedication. Thank you to Rydberg and Reincke for their years of service for our country.
