The 6th Grade memory book committee is in high gear and we need your help! We are looking for pictures that we could use in the memory book. Below is a list of images we're looking for.


  • Through the years (Butler events only)
  • Field Day
  • Haunted Gym
  • Where it began, first day at Butler
  • Bear cubs (baby/toddler pictures): Submitters are required to name image file by students first and last name


When sharing images, please only share Butler events or the specific images listed out. Please upload photos here before the deadline of February 10.


Please note: Due to the volume of photos we receive, not all submitted images will be used. The memory book team works hard to be sure all students are represented.
