Buhler Families and Community,
The tragedy on Saturday at Stryker Sports Complex has affected the McPherson community in an unfathomable way with the devastating loss of two lives. During this difficult time, we lift up our neighbors in prayer and stand ready to support their community and school system in whatever way they need in the days and weeks ahead. We may be rivals on the field, but off the field, we are neighbors, colleagues, and friends.
Buhler youth soccer teams were on nearby fields preparing to compete at the time. All of our young athletes were safe and able to exit the area without incident. Buhler Schools has gathered a list of students from our youth soccer coaches that were at the complex Saturday. Although most students didn’t witness the event, they they may need support processing things they heard or saw. Counselors will be available at our school buildings for any students or staff who need support processing this event.
Join us as we pray for the soccer community, first responders, our parents who helped at the scene, and McPherson.
Cindy Couchman, Superintendent
Buhler Public Schools

Cru Leaders are 4th and 5th graders who completed an application process and were selected to represent their peers throughout the year. Their staff sponsors help them serve their school in various ways, chief among them being a positive influence and working to make sure nobody is left out.
Thank you to the Cosmosphere for planning some rigorous challenges that require all sorts of leadership to be successful. Also thank you to our teacher sponsors: Mrs. Clough and Mr. Cherry at UV, Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Schmucker at PCE, and Mrs. Engelken and Mrs. Gould at BGS.
If you see a Cru Leader out and about make sure to introduce yourself and shake their hand, they'll know just what to do! 😉
