Buffalo Jones Elementary School staff wrapped up the week with a school spirit day today. Congratulations for being selected as the Superintendent's School of the Week!

The Superintendent's School of the Week is Buffalo Jones Elementary School. Check out what students and staff are up to at the school:
Buffalo Jones Elementary School is this week's Superintendent's School of the Week. Here are some things to know about Principal Ben Luna:
What led you to teaching and what prompted your decision to become a principal?
I've always had a strong sense of community and a desire to teach and coach. It is extremely rewarding to know that you have had a direct impact on families and the community. Throughout my teaching career I have served in several leadership positions and I really enjoyed supporting teachers and staff. Seeing what teachers are capable of with the correct support is powerful. We have a ton of talent in our teaching staff at USD 457. An opportunity to help lead that talent was what prompted me to become a principal.
What are your hobbies or how do you spend your days off?
I have too many hobbies! Spending time with family tops the list. I spend my spare time traveling, backpacking, camping, working out, and watching the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals when I get an opportunity to.
Is there a quote or saying that you live your life by?
"Do not live as if you have ten thousand years left. Your fate hangs over you. While you are still living, while you still exist on this Earth, strive to become a genuinely great person." -Marcus Aurelius
I know it's easy to become complacent in our daily routines and this quote reminds me that our opportunity to make an impact on our community and families is limited and that I need to make the most each day. Striving to be a genuinely great person will take you a long way in meeting that goal.
What inspires you?
Teachers, teachers, and teachers! I'm inspired by the determination and effort that I see in our teacher's daily. The best part of my day is when I get to observe in their classrooms. Their ability to teach and build positive relationships with students who have varying backgrounds and needs is remarkable! Everyday that I walk out to my vehicle to go home, I feel confident knowing that every student at Buffalo Jones has gone home stronger in every sense of the word because of our teachers!
We are excited to announce that Buffalo Jones Elementary School has been selected as this week's Superintendent's School of the Week! Look for more posts about the exciting things happening at Buffalo Jones.
Each week Dr. Dominguez will select a school to feature and we'll share information about staff, upcoming events at the school, recognition they've received, and more.
