The Spring Fair is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It is an awesome, annual family event, held rain or shine. There is great fun for all members of the family, including 20+ carnival games and activities, a silent auction, theme basket raffles, snacks and lunch options. By participating in this fun-filled day, families can enjoy time together and with other school families while helping support many great programs at Butler. Details to follow.

Homeroom Parent Coordinators...This week you will receive an email with a list of all Basket and Fun Jar themes by homeroom. There will be additional instructions and resources provided to assist as you begin reaching out to parents to ask for donations. Any questions, please contact Jennifer Mininger (Baskets), or Edna Miller (Fun Jars).

We are looking to fill some crucial roles in the PTO for the 2022-23 school year. The PTO is completely volunteer run. If we do not have enough volunteers then events may be canceled. To keep our PTO strong, we really need parents with younger students.  The Butler PTO is extremely supportive so you will never be alone.

Please reach out to Amanda Bonsall to share your strengths/volunteer preferences.

The 6th Grade Memory Book Committee needs your help to make the memory book even more special for our kids. For a small donation of $5.00 per Shout-Out, you can write a special note to your child or to their friends that will be published in the Memory Book. Payment can be made through Venmo (@Nicole-Scabarozi) or checks payable to "Butler PTO."

A shout out is space that you purchase to be printed in the Butler Memory Book, which congratulates your child. One shout out is up to 180 characters (including spaces, and punctuation). Example: Sue, congratulations on your graduation from Butler Elementary! Good luck at Unami! We are so incredibly proud of you and your accomplishments! Love, Mom, Dad, Zoe, Pip, and Fluffy. This example is 180 characters in case you need a visual picture idea.

To participate, please click here, fill out the form by April 1, 2022. Any questions? Please email Edna Miller.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in Butler Bear Clubs.

Reminder: ART & DANCE clubs have their last two clubs on March 24 and March 31 because of the half days.

Special thank you to Butler Bear Club Co-Chairs (Adrienne Shipe and Tricia Doebler), and Jen Emma for all of your hard work coordinating Butler Bear Clubs this year!
