Butler Elementary Family Handbook 2019-2020

Fundraisers and Events Canyons District Policy allows both the PTA and the School to do one fundraiser each during the year. Funds raised each school year support programs, provide classroom supplies, and help to upgrade technology throughout the building, keeping our school current and up to date. In addition to these fundraisers, we are also grateful for the partnerships that we have with local businesses in the community. Box Tops for Education (PTA) Did you know that Butler earns 10¢ for every Box Top for Education that you bring in? Sadly, many box tops get thrown in the garbage… That’s like throwing away money!!! Help our school by sending Box Tops in with your child. Don’t forget to recruit your family and friends too! PTA Fundraiser The PTA will be conducting a fundraiser this fall (first two weeks of September). Please keep an eye out for more information as soon as it is available. School Fundraiser: Mathathon Each Spring, the school holds a fundraiser to raise money for field trips and to support our 1:1 technology initiative replacement cycle. The students in grades K-5 will complete 100 math problems appropriate for their grade level during the week. Every child will have the opportunity to correct any mistakes before turning in the assignments, allowing all students to achieve 100%. Students are encouraged to gather pledges from family and friends based on the amount of math problems they get correct on the Math-A-Thon test. The pledges can be of any amount, from $.01 to $100 -- exceptions will be made for even higher donations ; ) School Charity Fundraiser Sponsored by the Butler Student Council The Butler Elementary Student Council may sponsor one charity fundraiser per year. The council will research and select a charity that they are interested in supporting. This fundraiser will take place sometime in January or February.
