Join us for the first PTO event of the new school year... Butler Family Bingo! There will be light snacks and water, as well as fun prizes to win! Bingo cards are $1 per card (cash only) and can be bought that night. We hope to see you there! View the flyer here.

Please note, this is family event (i.e. not a drop off event).

We are in need of volunteers for Bingo, so please click here to sign up to help! 

**Bingo Volunteers receive one FREE Bingo card!!!**

CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO HELP WITH EVENT COSTS?

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! *

BUDGET NOTE

Ever wonder what happens with the funds that we raise? We will keep you updated throughout the year. With $16,000 of monies raised last year, the PTO was able to purchase an additional piece of equipment for the new playground that was installed during the summer, which truly makes our playground unique. We are thrilled to see and hear that many students are getting good use out of this apparatus.

Please sign up to volunteer during 1st Grade lunch here.

Please sign up to volunteer during 2nd Grade lunch here.

**Please note: You must have your volunteer clearances completed prior to signing up for lunch duty.

All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. We ask that you please refrain from cell phone usage during your volunteer shift. Unfortunately, younger siblings are no longer permitted to accompany volunteers.
