South Buffalo Charter School

South Buffalo Charter School We are a professional learning community. Our focus on learning is driven by research, data and collaborative reflection to increase student achievement.

We are South Buffalo Charter School . South Buffalo Charter School was established in 1999 and formally granted a five year charter by State University of New York Board of Regents in the fall of 2000. South Buffalo Charter School was the second charter school to open in the greater Buffalo region. In May of 2005 the school was re-chartered for another five years. The school opened its doors in th

e former Buffalo Public School No. 29 with an enrollment of 248 students in grades kindergarten through grade four. In 2004 the building was purchased from the City of Buffalo and so began our expansion to include grades five through eight. Currently the enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year is 660 students in grades kindergarten through grade eight. The school has a dedicated and qualified teaching staff of over 65 teachers and teacher assistants as well as a seasoned administration and support staff that will foster quality education and socialization for our students. Our goal is to create life long learners and a desire to “Make It Happen". For more information or to schedule a visit and tour of our school please call 826-7213.

On May 22nd, our school community came together for two big events. 🎉

First Responders Day 🚒 🚔
Our students raised $1,000 for the Mercy Hospital Foundation and the Buffalo Fire Department to have a chance at sliming their teacher! Over 32 staff members were slimed (Slime Time Live style!) and 2 staff members even had their heads shaved by students. We also wrapped up our final Unity Games alongside firefighters from the BFD and officers of the BPD.

Cultural Day 🌏
Organized by our IDEA Committee, students explored global traditions through a martial arts demonstration , a traditional lion dance, and lively musical performances.

Thank you to everyone who made this day of charity, unity, and culture possible!

Ms. Lukowski’s and Ms. Zelaskos's 2nd graders just wrapped up a 5-week Project Based Learning unit! 🚜🌱

Students sought to answer essential question: "How could you survive a week on a farm by yourself?" and dived into the world of agriculture. Throughout the project, our young farmers:
- Distinguished between "needs" vs. "wants" on a farm.
- Researched plant life cycles and needs by growing their own vegetables.
- Explored animal life cycles.
- Learned about the roles and responsibilities of a farmer with a guest visit from a local farmer!

The project culminated in impressive group presentations. Students proudly shared their cardboard sculptures of farm animals and farm dioramas, plant growth logs, a farmer's daily schedule they crafted, and digital presentations of their findings!
