It’s time to rally together for a great cause! This week, Butts Road Primary is hosting our Pizza Pals fundraiser to support the Karen Berry Scholarship fund.

Let’s show our generosity and help our former students reach their dreams!
How it Works:
When: Monday, April 20th – Friday, April 24th.
Morning Collection: Homeroom teachers will collect donations every morning this week.
The Big Prize: At the end of the week, ONE lucky class will earn a pizza party with our princiPALS to celebrate their kindness!
Which class will take the lead? Let’s get those donations in and support our future graduates! 🍕✨
Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible women who keep our school running smoothly every single day: Mrs. Greene, Mrs. Hill, and Mrs. Ferrell! From solving problems to greeting every student with a smile, these three are the true heart and soul of our front office. They wear a dozen different hats, and they do it all with grace, patience, and a whole lot of school spirit.
Mrs. Greene: For her endless organized magic. ✨
Mrs. Hill: For organizing all of our students beautifully. 📋
Mrs. Ferrell: For being the friendly face we all need in the morning. 👋
We are so lucky to have this powerhouse trio on our team. If you see them in the office today, make sure to say a huge THANK YOU for everything they do!
