• Buckeye High School Students Win Big in Journalism - At the beginning of the school year, the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association held the State High School Journalism Conference at Arizona State University. The Multimedia Program at Buckeye High School, in the Buckeye Union High School District, received 28 awards for the work completed on their "Hawk" newspaper, and their "Falcon" yearbook. This year's conference was yet another successful showing for the journalism students, as last year the Buckeye High School Multimedia Program won 15 journalism awards. These awards not only give more evidence of the successful programming and excellent education available through the Buckeye Union High school System, but also showcase the many talented students in the district's schools.
• Pre-Schools in the Buckeye School Districts Promote Early Learning - To go along with the goals of all of the schools in the Buckeye school systems-to graduate students ready for a global community-the school districts have established several preschools to promote early learning. Buckeye parents can take advantage of the preschool setting where their children, ages 3-5, can benefit in many ways. In Language Arts, there are daily activities for preschoolers to develop reading and writing skills. These little ones are introduced to counting, patterns, graphing and number recognition as a precursor to Math and Science. There are multiple activities in Music, Art and Drama to encourage creativity and imagination, and lots of daily activities such as running, jumping and climbing to develop gross motor skills and coordination. These preschoolers also have the opportunities to fine-tune other important skills such as sharing, taking turns, and social interaction.
