The Mighty Knight Connection - June 2018 - Issue 20
My Finest ME!
Have a Wonderful Summer - Best Wishes!
Mighty Knight Pride!
I have been so incredibly fortunate to have joined Buckingham as the Principal for these last 7-years. Buckingham was my first opportunity to lead a school and what I have appreciated most has been working on a team in support of helping students embrace learning, feeling proud of their school and becoming incredible Mighty Knights. This is a special community in which so many amazing experiences have been made, and I want to thank every Buckingham parent, staff member and student - past and present - who has left me with such lasting memories.
Thank you all so much for allowing me to become a Mighty Knight - I will always remember this school as a special place where students are our priority!
Have a great summer and I hope to see you all soon,
- Mr. Funseth

Buckingham Student Participates in Flag Day Ceremony
Andrew Verish - Buckingham 6th Grader - participated in official Flag Day Ceremony on June 14th. Andrew’s service project was held throughout the community, including Buckingham, where he collected over 30 flags - all retired during the ceremony. Andrew participated by reading quotes as stripes were cut from a flag before burning, which is the proper way to retire flags. Congratulations Andrew - Thank you for this service!
Buckingham End-of-Year Book Dedications!
In April/May, Buckingham Parents dedicated 23 new books to the library for a total of 53 new books throughout the year (That's exactly 20-more books than than last year!).
Next year, we will be expanding Buckingham's book dedication program even more! Parents and students will be able to dedicate the same way as years past, but beginning next fall, there will be a "sponsor" program - Details will be shared next year!
Thanks to Mrs. Nace for her help in organizing the Book Dedication Program at Buckingham!
