Year-End Accolades Expect the best from a girl, and that’s exactly what you’ll get. At Buffalo Seminary, learning takes center stage, and a girl’s accomplishments matter. What she believes in and how she puts her beliefs into action are more important than what she wears. Here, the scientists and singers, athletes and scholars are girls. All the doers and the leaders are girls. Female mentors abound, whether faculty or fellow classmates. And that’s the key to real achievement: positive role models, abundant opportunities, personal practice and real-life experience. At the end of the school year we celebrate those wonderful achievements: Athletics - Most Valuable Player Basketball Varsity - Alexandria Ruh ‘09 Jr. Varsity - Olivia Knauss ‘11
