I absolutely love the look of Buzz!  I think it could be a great fit for our church's children's ministry.  The only concern I have is about the fact that it appears that the material (take home cards, etc.) have the grade clearly marked on the material.  Is this correct?

While I have no doubt that we could actually use the material for ages/grades other than those labeled, my concern lies with the preception of children/parents when we need to place kids outside their "real" grades.

Is any of the Buzz material available without these grade labels?

Thanks!

I absolutely agree with the PP.  I work with a small budget and therefore need to use Buzz for multiple grades.  I would prefer that the grades do not appear on the take-home material as well. 

As my group is small, I was planning on blacking out the grade level spot on the take-homes. 

Other than that, I am so excited to bedin Buzz!  I love everything else!

Because Buzz is an age-graded curriculum, we don't produce it without the age labels. We understand that this doesn't help when some churches "blend" age levels. However, we work very hard to have age-appropriate material and as such need to make sure that all our materials are labeled for the ages that they are. To create "blank" ones would actually be a production nightmare and increase our costs (and no one wants that). Hopefully others will continue to give suggestions that have worked for them.
