AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK | November 13-17

American Education Week is an opportunity to visit your child’s classroom and watch your children in action! Reminders: cell phone use while in the school is not permitted; this is an “adults only” visit - as small children may disrupt instruction during this time.


The chart provides the designated time to visit to best accommodate parking/traffic flow/etc. Please RSVP here so that we may plan accordingly for your time and have visitor badges ready upon arrival (to avoid delays).

HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING TREE

GIVING TREE

Beginning November 17, the Butler Giving Tree will be on display in the hallway near the main office. The Giving Tree will have tags that display the names of holiday gifts that can be donated for families in our Butler Community who are in need of extra support this holiday season. We invite our Butler students and families to choose a tag (if they wish) to 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. Please inform your student to only take a tag if directed so we are sure all items are received by the office in time.


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!


More information needed… Please contact Peggy Bernabei.
