BUTLER BEAR CLUBS REGISTRATION OPENS JAN. 5!

Butler Bear Clubs

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

Clubs will run February 5 - March 15 unless otherwise noted

Registration opens January 5 at 6pm 

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.

For the clubs to run we need volunteers to assist as hall monitors. These positions are paid.
