The Butler Giving Tree is on display in the hallway near the main office and will be moved temporarily to the Holiday Shoppe/Vendor Fair on Friday, December 9.

Please choose a tag and purchase the gift listed. We ask that you wrap the gift and be sure to secure the same tag to the outside of the gift wrap.

All gifts should be delivered to the main office no later than December 15 - to ensure holiday delivery. Thank you for all of your wonderful generosity and support!

For more information, please contact Peggy Bernabei.

Friday, December 9 | 5-8 pm

Butler Stage

Please join us for our Annual Holiday Shoppe event on December 9 from 5pm – 8pm on the Butler stage. This is a wonderful way for students to buy holiday gifts for their family and friends.

The flyer with kids budgeting envelopes has been sent home. The envelopes are for budgeting purposes so the kids can go on stage Friday night without a parent to keep it a surprise but stay within their spending limit. This is an evening event only. Holiday Shoppe is NOT a drop-off event.

We are still in need of volunteers for this event so if you are able to offer up your time, please contact Kerri, Michelle, or Christy to help. We look forward to seeing you all there for an exciting night to kick off the holiday season!

It's that time of year to be thankful and give back. We can express our appreciation to our teachers and staff by providing food for them during conferences on Monday, December 12. Please sign up here to either make or purchase an item. Reach out to Jennifer or Lisa with any questions.

Thank you to the more than 250 Butler students and their VIP's who attended our special movie event (Dec. 4) as we enjoyed a private viewing of Disney's Strange World. Special thank you to event coordinators Cristina Cinquino and Lixia Yao for all of your hard work to make it a great day!
