Today marks the first day of Black History Month! What better way to kick off the celebration of influential African Americans in history than recognizing our very own Dr. Carter G. Woodson from New Canton?

These amazing Buckingham Primary students were recently recognized as outstanding students of the month for being safe, respectful, and responsible. Way to go! 💚💛

Parents, please share any snow day pictures of your students that you've taken this week! We miss them and would love to see what they've been up to!

❄️ Winter Weather Meal Pickup – Care in Action ❄️ As we prepare for the incoming winter weather, Buckingham County Public Schools was proud to support our students and families by providing meals to ensure no child goes without during the storm. Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our cafeteria staff, maintenance team, grounds team, central office staff, and other dedicated school employees, more than 400 students received meals; prepared, packed, and delivered with care. From early morning planning to lifting boxes, organizing bags, and making sure everything ran smoothly, this effort truly showcased what it means to be a school community that takes care of its own. 💚 We are grateful for the hard work, flexibility, and heart shown by our staff, and thankful for the opportunity to serve our students when it matters most. #EveryKnightEveryDay
