Please join us this Saturday, May 21, from 10am-3pm for our annual Spring Fair. The Spring Fair is our only annual fundraiser to encourage family fun as well as help support many initiatives at Butler such as playground equipment, library books, school assemblies, family events, and so much more. This event is held rain or shine, so come enjoy lots of family fun while supporting Butler students! The current plan is to have the event partially indoors, with a large part outside as well, weather permitting. In the event of rain, the decision will be made to move indoors. Please plan accordingly. (If the Fair is moved indoors due to rain, please see signs at ticket tables, the volunteer table and Inside Food area for game/activity relocations.)

Additional Punch Cards can now be purchased at the Fair only. Game and food tickets will be sold in $1 and $5 denominations (4 punches for $1 and 20 punches for $5). The front Punch Card table outside by the gym/cafeteria entrance accepts either cash or credit card. The back Punch Card table, by Mrs. Warner’s 2nd grade classroom, accepts cash only.

Basket raffle tickets can be purchased in the Gym using cash or credit card. (one for $1; six for $5; or 13 for $10).

This year, we are excited to offer meal options in the cafeteria. Please visit our Inside Food area to buy pizza or hot dogs and chase it down with your choice of beverage - soda, juice, or water. Well-loved snack items will also be available for purchase, such as Lemon Sticks, Cotton Candy, Fill a Bag Candy Bar, Chips and Pretzels. All inside food items are available to purchase with game/food Punch Cards sold outside by the gym/cafeteria entrance.

The Kona Ice food truck will be on the Butler campus rain or shine, so be sure to grab an icy treat with your family and friends.

We have games and activities suited for preschool through elementary aged children. Be sure to check out the NEW Inflatable Blue Crush Slide and Monkey Mayhem. Don’t forget to visit the pathway outside the cafeteria to race your friends through the Inflatable Obstacle Course, returning for another year.

Adults will enjoy the Basket Raffles in the Gym and children can use their game Punch Cards to win a Fun Jar of their choosing. Winning students who do not claim their Fun Jar by the end of the Fair will receive their jars in class the Monday after the Fair.

While visiting the Raffle Baskets, you can also purchase a Butler T-Shirt for Field Day or the next Spirit Day. Field Day teams will be listed near the T-Shirt sale area.

We will be selling used children’s books for a donation of your choice. There are hundreds of books to choose from, ranging from board books to chapter books. All money collected during this sale will directly benefit our school.

When playing the games, students earn tickets that can be redeemed for prizes in our Redemption Area located on the stage. Everyone leaves a winner!

Parents don't forget to check out the Silent Auction in Mrs. Warner’s 2nd grade classroom. We have over 80 fabulous items. Come place your bid to win tickets to a Trenton Thunder or Reading Phillies game! We have gift cards to local restaurants, services, and fun family activities.
