Please join us for our FINAL General PTO meeting of the 2021-22 school year. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend! Agenda will be posted here shortly and will include voting on our 2022-23 PTO Chairperson slate. Click here for minutes from past meetings.

May 10-13 in school; thru May 19 online

The Book Fair is running now! Click here to view the class schedule or to volunteer.

Thanks to the success of our Fall Book Fair, we will be offering $5 Scholastic Bucks to every student at Butler! That $5 can go towards the purchase of any book at the Book Fair (no accessories). No coupon required – we will apply the $5 at the register.**$5 credit does not include sales tax and must be redeemed in person. Sorry, we cannot apply the $5 credit towards an online book order.

The book fair flyer provides just a sampling of the books available at the book fair. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that all books will be available for the whole fair. Book Fair purchases can be made with cash, credit card (must be the credit card itself, not only the numbers – parent signature required for transaction), checks (made payable to "Butler PTO"), or Ewallet.

Sign up now for Ewallet here!! REMEMBER - Ewallet is now like a giftcard and all funds stay on the ewallet until they are used. Each student needs their own ewallet account.

If you would prefer to shop at home with your child, or the book your child wants is out of stock, you can shop at our online book fair here, running now until May 19. The books ordered online will be delivered directly to your child’s classroom. Any questions please email Amanda Bonsall.

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, and so much more. This event is held rain or shine, so come enjoy lots of family fun while supporting Butler students! We need your help to make the Spring Fair a success!

Please consider volunteering for our 2022 Butler Spring Fair. The success of this event is due largely in part to your generosity in volunteering just a few hours of your time to help.

Click here to choose your desired time slot to volunteer. Clearances are not needed to volunteer on Saturday.

One of our most popular games at Spring Fair is like musical chairs, but the winner gets a cake as a prize. We need your help to make this game a success. Please consider donating either homemade or store-bought cakes or cupcakes. Please click here to sign up to bring in an item.

Adults will enjoy the Basket Raffles and children can use their game tickets in to win a Fun Jar of their choosing. Fun Jars and Raffle Baskets can not be successful without your help. Please reach out to your child’s Homeroom Coordinator for more information. Any questions, please contact Jennifer Mininger (Baskets), or Edna Miller (Fun Jars).

Returning for a fourth year is the used children’s book sale.

Do you have any used children’s books or chapter books your child is finished reading? We are collecting these used, unwanted books and will be selling them at the Spring Fair for a donation of your choosing. Please click here for more information about how to donate your used books.

If you have any questions, please contact Tracey Johnston.

A friendly reminder - in order to volunteer in the classroom, you must have current volunteer clearances through CBSD. The process is EASY and all done online using the Volunteer Tracker App to track volunteer clearances. Every CB volunteer will need to register, and upload their clearances.

Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children obtain background checks and clearances. Click here for the required clearances, along with links to the state’s websites, which may be found on the CBSD website.

**Please note: Butler will follow the Health and Safety plan of the District. All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer. Click here for volunteer clearance information.
