🐻 OUR FIRST WATCHDOG OF THE YEAR! 🐾

A big Buckhorn Bears welcome to Larry Newcomb, our very first WatchDOG of the school year! 💜💛

When asked about his favorite part of the day, Larry said it was “seeing all the kids, smiling faces, and excitement!” And that's what Watch D.O.G.S. is all about!

Thank you, Larry, for showing up and making a difference for our Bears! 👏

Dads, we want YOU to be next! Text "2026" to (813) 683-7500 to get connected and learn how you can spend a day making a difference at Buckhorn!

Bullying Stops With Us 💙

Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and included at school. Let’s teach our kids to speak up, stand up for others, and choose kindness.

If you see something, say something. Together, we can create a school community where everyone belongs. 💙
