The 6th Grade Yearbook Committee needs your help to make the 6th Grade Yearbook even more special for our kids. For a small donation of $5.00 per shout out, you can write a special note to your child or to his or her friends that will be published in the yearbook. Payment can be made through Venmo (@Melissa-Griffin-61) or checks payable to "Butler PTO."

A shout out is space that you purchase to be printed in the Butler yearbook, which congratulates your child. One shout out is up to 180 characters (including spaces, and punctuation).

To participate, please fill out the form here by April 1. Any questions? Please email Melissa.
