GIVING TREE

No child should be deprived of the joys surrounding the holiday season. Please help support families in need within the Butler Community by making a donation of a $10 gift card from any of the following: Five Below, Giant, Target, Walmart or Wawa
Conference time is a great time to stop by the Giving Tree display and pick up a tag (located in Butler's main lobby)!
There will also be a gift card drop-box located near the cashier at the Holiday Shop and Vendor Fair on November 30. If you would prefer to sign up online simply

The Giving Tree is a wonderful opportunity to extend the great spirit of generosity beyond our homes and into the homes and hearts of others.
Thank you in advance for your kind contributions. The deadline for gift card donations is Monday, December 19. A special thank you to
Yasmin Manley
for chairing the event.

No mittens, winter jackets or hot chocolate needed! We are already thinking spring! The Spring Fair will be held on
Saturday, March 16, 2019 from 10am-3pm
. We need many hands to help make the Spring Fair a success and are looking for additional help with the follow committees: Baskets, Games, Outside Food, Silent Auction, and Tickets/Brochures. All committees work in teams, so plenty of support and guidance is provided.
- Baskets - Raffle basket items are donated from classroom parents. Responsibilities include sending emails to room parent coordinators, coordinating a night to put baskets together, overseeing the baskets the day of the fair and contacting the winners of the baskets on the day of the Fair. Homeroom Parent Coordinators recently received an email about the first steps for our Spring Fair Baskets and Fun Jars. Please review that email for further details.
- Games – Responsibilities include selecting games for the Fair, ordering the games, writing directions for the games, assisting in set up of games the night prior to the Fair, and overseeing the games the day of the Fair. Team members can coordinate a schedule to share game supervision during the Fair.
- Outside Food– Responsibilities include researching and contacting food truck companies, selecting 4 trucks to participate, obtaining all required paperwork and greeting the food trucks the morning of the Fair. The bulk of this job is completed before the Fair.
- Silent Auction – Silent auction items are donated. Responsibilities include contacting business for donations and contacting and meeting the winners of the auctions after the Fair to deliver the items won and collect the bid money.
- Tickets/Brochures – Responsibilities include ordering tickets, and distributing flyers, tickets and brochures for the Spring Fair. The bulk of this job is completed before the Fair.

Butler Bear classes are forming now and will run from February 4 to March 15. If you would like to help in any way, large or small, please contact Jen Emma at
jjemma3@gmail.com

for the flyer.
The Butler Bear Clubs winter enrichment program was created to provide fun activities to keep kids active during the cold winter months along with providing an opportunity to try new things. We will be offering a variety of activities including sports, dance, and arts and crafts. There are opportunities for all children grades K-6. This is a not for profit program that is coordinated, organized, and run by PTO volunteers.
Our on-site classes take place at Butler and are held from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Children are dismissed directly from their classroom to their club with parent pick-up at 5:00 PM. Our off-site classes run at various locations and times and require parent transportation to and from the class. Class listings and more information will be available soon!
Butler Bear Club registration and payments are paperless!
Class selection and payment can be done all from your home computer. Class registrations will be done through a SignUpGenius link. For class payment we will be using the MyPaymentsPlus program which will require you to set up an account. To do this, you will need to have your child's student ID, which requires a Parent Portal account.
Click here
for more details regarding MyPaymentsPlus. You will be using these accounts throughout your child's educational career in the Central Bucks School District. Get your accounts setup now so there is no delay during Butler Bear Club sign-ups!
Thank you,
Jen Emma
, for your continued support with the Butler Bear Clubs!
