Olaf and Volleyball

The Lady Badgers High School volleyball team took on Holland in Buckholts on 09-12-17. Olaf watched from the bleachers, making at least one fan uncomfortable.

But, apparently, the girls had fun with Olaf's visit.

Quitting To Catch Up

Sometimes you have to quit to catch up. Huh?

Well, after some 18 months of wrangling with CenturyLink over outages and slow internet, I quit them. I'm sure CenturyLink takes care of it's customers in metropolitan areas, but in small communities like Buckholts, it appears Centurylink doesn't care. So, I switched my ISP to wireless AT&T. I now get consistent service and reasonable internet speeds. Other people in our area have switched to the new HughesNet satellite system and report satisfaction. But, I can't afford HughesNet and don't want another long term contract. Note: I have no sponsor affiliation with any of the these three ISPs.

Now, having reliable internet, I am catching up on this blog. Please bear with me as I reload months of photos.

Here are Volleyball and team photos from last August.

Summer School for Teachers

Yep!  Teachers spend most of their summer "off" attending classes, clinics and seminars. Buckholts ISD was very fortunate to have TWO internationally renowned educators presenting in li'l old Buckholts last summer.

This past July, Toby J Karten, teacher, adjust professor, author and international consultant, presented her Inclusion Strategies series to Buckholts' teachers and staff.
