BUTLER BEAR CLUBS REGISTRATION OPENS JAN. 5!

Butler Bear Clubs

There are a handful of Butler Bear Clubs this year. See the 2024 Activity Listing for more details. 

 *We have added a new MATH4GIRLS club on Wednesdays. Check it out!

Clubs will run February 5 - March 15 unless otherwise noted.

Registration opens January 5 at 6 pm and runs until January 14 at 11 PM. Late registrations cannot be accepted.

Registration is multiple steps. First through Sign Up Genius followed by payment through MyPaymentsPlus. All steps must be complete for valid enrollment. (Exception only if the class is listed as free; there will only be SUG and there won't be a MPP step in that case.)

The Butler Bear Clubs winter enrichment program was created to provide fun activities to keep kids engaged during the cold winter months. This year we offer a few activities for children in grades K-6. This is a not-for-profit program coordinated, organized, and run by PTO volunteers. 

On-site classes take place at Butler immediately after school. Off-site classes are run at their locations. Timely pick-up and transportation is the parent's responsibility.

For the clubs to run we need volunteers to assist as hall monitors. These positions are paid; ask us your questions!
