Dear SB Butler Families

Dear SB Butler Families,

The SB Butler PTO warmly welcomes you to the 2013-2014 school year. We know that the amazing staff is ready to give our children a wonderfully rewarding experience…. and YOU can further help make that a reality! Research is clear that involved parents make for more successful students. The SBB PTO is a GREAT way to be involved! Our purpose is “to facilitate, enhance and support communications between parents and teachers and promote academic achievement and social growth of SBB children.” We will achieve this through some wonderful programs funded through PTO activities. YOUR involvement is key to this success!

In this packet you will find much of the information you will need to be a part of all the fun:

List of planned events for the year (tell us how you would like to be involved)

PTO Calendar for the Year

Full schedule of PTO meetings for the year

Student Directory Form

Our first event of the new year is the SB Butler Family Picnic on Tuesday September 10th at 5pm. Would you like to help with this very fun event? Let us know on the membership form. While you are at the picnic, reconnecting with old friends and making a lot of new ones, stop by the PTO information table. We invite and welcome new ideas and fresh takes on old programs. Be involved – your children will thank you!

We look forward to getting to know you better, and to an exciting, interesting and fun year!

Sincerely your PTO officers,

Kim LaLima (Co-Chair)

Nancy Clang (Co-Chair)
