2022 STUFF-A-MASCOT FUNDRAISER
Butler PTO is offering a take home kit where children can build their own Butler Bear stuffed animal. These kits consist of a 16” unstuffed bear, bag of stuffing, wishing star, custom made Butler shirt, and instructions. All packed up in a “take me home” kit. Click here for the flyer.

What makes this different from last year’s bear?
The 2022 Edition of Butler’s Stuff-A-Mascot will include a different bear than last year along with a brand-new shirt design.

The price for each kit is $27.50. All orders must be placed on MyPaymentsPlus by February 5. Bears will be delivered to children the week of February 14.

If you have any questions, please contact Tracey.
