The Spring Fair is blossoming on March 16, and this year the Raffle Baskets are bigger and better than ever. We need your help to make them truly irresistible! Each homeroom has chosen a special theme, and their coordinators will be looking for your donations to fill these prizes with fun and surprises. Think board games for game night, various desserts for the sweet tooths, or picnic essentials for sunny days – any item big or small helps. Let's work together to make these baskets the highlight of the Fair! Your generosity goes directly to the PTO, funding all the amazing things that make Butler so special.
