Butler Teachers vs. The Harlem Wizards!

November 6th, 2025, at CB South

The Harlem Wizards are coming to town next school year for a night of high-flying, rim-rocking basketball fun—and guess who they’re playing? Our very own Butler teachers! That’s right, this family-friendly fundraiser will be a night full of tricks, laughs, and community spirit, all in support of Butler Elementary School.

Local Business Owners!

Want to showcase your business and support a great cause? We're looking for event sponsors for this event. 

Parents are often interested in knowing what teachers and staff members like or enjoy. View a list here of our staff members favorite things. This is a good reference for gifts as well as every day little surprises! 

This list includes teachers, administrators, custodial staff, support staff, specialists and itinerants. This is completely voluntary and will remain open all year if you are looking for the inside scoop.
