Butler gymnasium

We're looking forward to our annual Haunted Gymnasium scheduled for Friday, October 18, as 6th grade students transform Butler's gymnasium into a spooky attraction.

This event is open to Butler students in grades 3 to 6. Students must be wearing a wristband to be admitted. These wristbands will be put on before the end of school this Friday. We will also allow former Butler students if their 6th grade sibling is participating in the event, and they are accompanied by a parent. All groups must be accompanied by an adult. No student only groups will be permitted. Any questions...please contact Haunted Gymnasium event chairs James, Ali, or Shirley.

CONTRIBUTE TO HELP SUPPORT PTO PROGRAMS & EVENTS

PTO events and activities would not be available without our volunteers and the financial contribution by the Butler families. In support of our efforts, we are asking for a $15 contribution per household (Butler Family) as the means to offset the expenses for organizing and holding the events.

For those who wish, you can sponsor another Butler family’s $15 contribution. Payment is preferred through MyPaymentsPlus or submit a check with this form.

*Please check with your company to see if they offer a “Donor Match” program. In some cases, companies will match your contribution, so your $15 becomes $30! Below is a list of some companies that had a corporate match program in the past. Be sure to ask, as some companies require you donate a certain amount of money before they will match. Companies: Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America, Carter’s Inc., Charles River, Citigroup, Clemens Family Corporation, Comcast, Coca Cola Company, Endo International, First Weber Group, Glaxo Smith Kline, Harsco Corporation, Highmark, IBM, IQVIA, Johnson & Johnson, Kinder Morgan Inc., Life Scan, Merck & Co., Prudential Financial Inc., Target, United Health Group Incorporated, and many more.
