For the first time ever, two of our talented students, Camy and Riley, were in Washington D.C. with their National History Day project! They presented their powerful documentary, "9/11: A Turning Point in Anti-Terrorism," to a panel of judges earlier this week, and unfortunately did not make it to the final round. However, Camy and Riley received Outstanding Missouri Project from 9 categories and 18 submissions!
Congratulations, Camy and Riley! You've made Dragon Nation so proud!

Mr. Vincent and his students are learning to cook this week. Yesterday, students made pancakes and today they made sweet potato fries. While most students tried the sweet potato fries, the consensus was they were not as good as fast food fries!
Kindergarten had an exciting day learning about the letter G. Students learned about the sound that /g/ makes and how to write it. First graders used their knowledge of letter sounds to build CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words from pictures.
The second week of summer school is underway with more exciting activities!
Second graders tackled the challenge of adding more than two numbers together and had a blast doing it!
Third graders got creative in the classroom and made delicious peaches and cream. The smiles on their faces say it all!
Finally, middle school students got creative with DIY kits donated by Home Depot. They crafted beautiful flower pots, bird feeders, and jewelry boxes. Huge thanks to Home Depot for their generous contribution!

Welcome Jordan Morin to our Kindergarten Team.
I have been teaching for 7 years, 6 of those years in Kindergarten, where my passion lies! Alongside my 3 daughters, I am beyond excited to join the Mid Buchanan Dragon family and really embrace our community and traditions! I look forward to creating new memories, build relationships with students and families and have an incredible 2024-2025 school year!
Welcome Katie Comley to our 4th Grade Team.
Hi. My name is Katie Comley! This will be my 7th year teaching. I have taught 3rd grade all prior 6 years and excited for the new challenge of 4th grade. My favorite part about teaching is the relationships I build with my students and their families. I currently reside in St. Joe. I have three children. Hunter (8), Charlie (2.5), and Brooks (6 months). Hunter attends Mid Buch and he will be in third grade this year. Charlie and Brooks will both be attending in the future as well. Most of my time away is spent at sports activities for Hunter and Charlie. I enjoy traveling with my husband, Josh, when he travels for work during summers. I am excited and look forward to being part of the community and to be a Dragon!

After an incredible 31 years in education, Mrs. Carlson is retiring! Her journey began with 3 years of teaching in Polo, MO, followed by 22 years at Orrick ELEM/JH/HS. For the past 6 years, she has been a cherished member of the Mid-Buchanan community, which she proudly calls her best years yet.
Throughout her educational journey, Mrs. Carlson has impacted students from second grade to high school seniors. She also dedicated over 20 years to coaching cheer and 18 years to coaching track before her time at MB.
Though she's retiring, Mrs. Carlson isn’t saying goodbye to education entirely—she's looking forward to subbing next year. She'll also enjoy more quality time with her family, which includes her 4 children and 4 grandchildren.
Mid-Buchanan has been the perfect place for Mrs. Carlson to wrap up her remarkable career. We are so grateful to Dragon Nation for welcoming her and allowing her to become part of such an amazing staff and student body. Mrs. Carlson, your dedication and passion have forever touched our hearts.
Join us in wishing Mrs. Carlson a joyful and fulfilling retirement!
