Welcome to December – the month of festivities and cheer! We've had an amazing week here at Buljan, and I can't wait to fill you in on all the exciting happenings.

Firstly, a huge shoutout to our incredible students for bringing the school spirit to life by rocking their plaid outfits last Friday. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and it truly makes Buljan a vibrant and lively place to be.


But that's not all – we had the pleasure of hosting the Roseville High School Marching Band during lunch, and it was a musical delight! The energy was through the roof, and it was heartwarming to see some familiar faces from our previous students. The joy of reuniting with old friends is truly special.

And the fun doesn't stop there! This week, we're in for another treat as Roseville High School's Dancing Feet is set to perform. It's always a blast to witness the incredible talents of our previous students and enjoy the fantastic productions they put on. Our students are in for a real treat, and I'm sure it'll be an event to remember.

We're so grateful for all the amazing things happening at Buljan – from the lively school spirit to the fantastic performances by talented alumni. It's a testament to the strong sense of community we have here.

As we dive into the holiday season, let's continue to celebrate these moments of joy and connection. Thank you for being an essential part of our Buljan family. Here's to more fun, laughter, and memorable experiences in the weeks to come!
