STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK RECAP

We are beyond grateful for our amazing Butler teachers and staff every day! They are the heart of our school, and we truly have the absolute best.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our parents who donated items or contributions to help make Teacher Appreciation week so special, and those that helped set up, clean up, and supported behind the scenes to bring it all together.

SPRING BOOK FAIR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED | MAY 11 TO 14

Spring Book Fair

May 11th-14th

The Spring Book Fair is right around the corner!

It will run Monday, May 11th - Thursday, May 14th.

We need volunteers to help run the fair!

Volunteers help students find books and calculate costs (+tax) to keep things running smoothly at the registers. Slots are 1-1.5 hrs. Click here to sign up.

Signing up for multiple time slots is welcomed and encouraged =)

See when your child’s class is scheduled to attend the Book Fair: Spring 2026 Book Fair - Teacher Time Slots. Schedule changes are unlikely, but possible.

If you have any questions, please contact Juliana Lodge.

SET UP BOOK FAIR eWALLET

The Book Fair will run from May 11 to May 14.

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 gift card and all funds stay on the eWallet and can be used at the next fair or at the online book fair. 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, running from May 8 to May 21 here.

If you have any questions, please contact Juliana Lodge.
