WELCOME BACK TEACHERS!

teacher appreciation
What a great way to start the school year! Thanks to many Butler families that joined us for the car parade and chalk the walk to welcome back and celebrate our amazing Butler staff. We also hosted a staff lunch with boxed lunches from the Pop Inn. It was great to provide a treat for the teachers while supporting a local business. Thanks to Rachel Stasik and Bridget Hoag for coordinating these events.
COUPON BOOK FUNDRAISER (now through October 7)
New this year! SaveAround coupon books are for sale (formerly KidStuff) thru October 7. Pandemic friendly! Just click the link in the flyer, purchase a book or two, and share with family and friends. Your order will be shipped direct to you! Books are $26 (which includes $1 transaction fee from the company) but the savings are huge!
FAMILY CONTRIBUTIONS
can you help
We know this is a unique year with many challenges, so if you are in a position to do so, please donate as you can...but please feel no pressure.

We ask for a yearly family contribution to help offset the costs of providing great family activities and supporting educational initiatives at Butler. It also eliminates the need for numerous fundraisers during the year. Online payment through MyPaymentsPlus is available. Although the option for a contribution is listed for each Butler child in your household, we are only asking for one contribution of $15 per family. There is also an option to sponsor another family, and contribute $30. Thank you for your consideration.
DINE & DONATE - RITA'S OF CHALFONT (Sept. 19)
Rita's Dine & Donate
Saturday, September 19 | 3-8pm

It's a SWEET combination! Help a local business and help our school at the same time!

Simply mention Butler when you order, and a portion of your sale will go back to the Butler PTO. Click here for the flyer.
HOMEROOM PARENT VOLUNTEER PROCESS
We are working with administrators to determine the best ways to support our teachers this year. When decisions have been made, we will recruit Head Room Parent Coordinators (no Party Planners at this time). Thanks for your patience.  

**Although volunteers are not currently permitted in the building, this is a good time to get your clearances completed or updated. You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer. Click here for volunteer clearance information.
