BHS Bucks Principal's Update
February 2022
Dear BHS students and families,
You may see a new face at Buchanan High School. Mr. Sokolowski will be taking over for Mrs. Watkins while she is on her maternity leave. He just started with us this week and can be reached at dsokolowski@buchananschools.com. Welcome to The Woods Mr. Sokolowski!
If you were at the game Friday night you were able to see just what Buchanan is all about. The Herd, showing their school spirit, cheering on the teams and keeping positive. You witnessed a Miracle Minute fund raiser for a fellow student who is still in the hospital, and you saw our Buchanan community supporting our students. This is just one example of why I love Buchanan. We don't just have basketball games, we have community events. I appreciate all the parents, teachers, staff and students who are able to look beyond the political arena we are living in and instead find positive ways to support our students. It takes a big heart and a bright soul to find ways to lift each other up instead of bring others down.
As always, it's a great time to be a Buck!
Mrs. DeMaio
Attendance
Our attendance policy was structured to keep kids in school and ensured that they were successful in their studies. However, due to COVID, we have had to relax our attendance policy and that has had some severe ramifications on the students and their grades.

Students at Work and at Play!
The HERD is back!
Our Winterfest week was cut short due to snow days, but our BHS students still know how to dress up and show their spirit. Friday night, our BHS Herd and community celebrated Winterfest and hosted MHSAA as they came to watch and film our student section in the BOTF challenge. Congratulations to all our Winterfest Court winners. It was a memorable night with a great game and outstanding sportsmanship. What a great night in The Woods!
Our Herd leaders represented BHS well. Thanks to those student and staff leaders for bringing out the best in BHS! MHSAA voting for Battle of the Fans will begin soon. Check out the MHSAA article and video on The HERD here and follow The HERD on social media channels to find out up to date information on the competition and upcoming events.
