Happy National Home Visiting Week (April 21–25, 2025)! This inaugural celebration shines a spotlight on the incredible impact of home visiting programs—and more importantly, the amazing people who make it all happen. Across the nation, home visitors work tirelessly to support families, empower parents, and give children the strongest possible start in life. We’re proud to share that Mid-Buchanan’s own Heather Sandlin, our PAT (Parents as Teachers) educator, was among those showcased! Heather’s nomination highlighted just a glimpse of the love, expertise, and commitment she brings to the families she serves. Her work is deeply valued—not just here in Mid-Buchanan, but as part of a movement that’s changing lives across the country. This week, and every week, we celebrate YOU, Heather, and every home visitor making a difference one family at a time.

Spring Band Concert

RISE students were able to participate in the Cameron Wiffle Ball Event on April 14th, 2025. Our students had a blast building their gross motor skills while swinging for the fences and running the bases. Even more importantly, they practiced teamwork, communication, and social interaction throughout the day. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun in an inclusive, supportive environment. A big thank you to the Cameron School District for hosting such a fun and meaningful event — we truly appreciate your commitment to inclusion and collaboration! Way to go, RISE team — we are so proud of your effort, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm!
