Because of your generosity, we've been able to give new students at Buffalo High School a warm and cheerful welcome as they join our Bison family.\r\n\r\nThe supplies you helped fund made it possible for us to assemble welcoming gift bags filled with fun, useful items, along with a Student Council t-shirt and a student-produced \"Welcome to BHS\" flier created by our media students. Each bag also includes a handwritten note from one of our Student Council members, a small but personal touch to help every new student feel seen, valued, and part of our community from the moment they arrive.\r\n\r\nWe've already had new students transfer in this semester, and seeing their smiles as they receive their bags has been incredibly rewarding. What might seem like a small gesture makes a huge difference in helping them feel like they belong.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and supporting a culture of kindness, leadership, and school spirit. Your gift has helped us make \"Welcome to the Herd\" more than just a slogan; it's now a tradition we're proud to continue.","fullyFundedDate":1746558377400,"projectUrl":"project/welcome-to-the-herd-new-student-project/9298712/","projectTitle":"Welcome to the Herd New Student Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Melonie Menefee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1661857_orig.jpg?crop=832,832,x0,y246&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1668702339748","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1661857"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10823","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":305,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":45,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":85.0,"schoolId":10823,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buffalo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buffalo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/buffalo-independent-school-district/buffalo-high-school/10823"}
