⚫️🟡 Buffalo Shout Out ⚫️🟡 Petersburg Buffaloes represent The Buffalo Way inside and outside of school. Today's Shout Out goes to seventh grader, Brecken Rasco! Brecken is one class act. You will find him being a great example of what a true Buffalo portrays anytime of the day. He is well mannered, respectful, hard working, and honest. His character precedes him everywhere he goes. Classmate, Demetrius Mendez needed help with his tie the night before the Junior High UIL meet. Brecken was able to assist him at youth that night and help teach him how to tie his tie. Thank you, Brecken, for being a great friend! Way to go, Brecken! We are proud of you!

🟡⚫️ Buffalo Shoutout 🟡⚫️ Brayden Trevino is exactly what a Buffalo should be! We had a family from another town come into our science lab to have a tour and say hello. After the family introduced themselves Brayden walked right up to all of them and took the time to introduce himself and shake everyone’s hand. The whole class then followed him and did the same. He is such a leader and a joy to have! Thank you Brayden for showing this family exactly what Buffaloes do!! ~ Miss Claxton
