RED RIBBON WEEK 2026 - W/O 10/26

5th GRADE MEMORY BOOK PICTURES DUE DEC. 15th

Hey 5th grade families!

As we work on putting together this year's memory book, we would love your help collecting a few special photos of our 5th graders!

Right now, we are specifically looking for:

• Baby photos of your 5th grader
• First day at Butler photos (from Kindergarten or their first year at Butler)

Please submit all baby and first day photos by December 15th so we can ensure they are included in these special feature sections!

We are also collecting any other fun school photos from over the years (class parties, field trips, or school events) that you think would be a great addition to the memory book. Submissions for general school event photos will remain open later into the year!

Please upload your photos directly here.

When uploading, please be sure to tag students and include as much detail as possible (student’s name, event name, or date) so we know exactly where everything belongs in the memory book.

Thank you so much for helping us capture these wonderful memories!

TEACHER AND STAFF FAVORITE THINGS

Parents often enjoy knowing what teachers and staff members love — whether it’s a favorite snack, drink, store, or small treat. Our Staff Favorites List is a great resource for thoughtful gifts and everyday surprises that brighten someone’s day.

This list includes teachers, administrators, custodial staff, support staff, and specialists.

Thank you for helping us celebrate and appreciate the wonderful people who support our children every day.
