100 Mile Club

The weather has been hit our miss for 100 mile club in January but we still have students hit milestones of 25, 50 and 75 miles. We even have a couple of students close to hitting the 100 mile milestone. As the weather gets nicer and we can have 100 mile club every Tues, Weds and Thurs we will have even more milestones reached.

Ms. Buie is Van Buren's 3rd grade teacher! While this is her 1st year teaching she has done an amazing job with the 3rd grade class and we are honored to have her as part of the Van Buren team and community!!

Ms. Buie's Bio

Hello, my name is Megan Buie! I have been teaching since 2016 and I was born and raised in Loveland, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2016 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies Elementary Teaching with an emphasis on Elementary K-6 Licensure and a minor in Earth Science. I was inspired to go into education when I was in 5th grade and found my love of learning, thanks to my wonderful teacher. My favorite hobbies include reading, hiking, yoga, and science. A fun fact about me is that I can say the alphabet backwards! I'm very excited to be teaching here this year!
