What a week for Miss Alyssa Buckman! She finished her student teaching under the guidance of Michelle Engraf. Thank you Mrs. Engraf for return and helping us out. On Thursday afternoon her mother, Karen Storlie pinned her, then came Friday. The student gave her a send off in the morning to attend her graduation at Dickinson State in the afternoon. She graduated magna cum laude with a Secondary English Education Bachelors of Science in Education and delivered a commencement address. CONGRATULATIONS Miss Buckman! We are very lucky to have her part of our Scranton Family.
