Butler Summer Reading Challenge
This summer at Butler, we will be offering a summer reading challenge to all students who have completed Grades K through 5. Students will be asked to read and record their reading bi-weekly using either a paper or digital reading log. These logs will be sent to families via email every other week this summer. Students who participate will be entered into a raffle. The winners of that raffle will have the chance to dunk Mr. Funseth and Mr. Brosious in a dunk tank early next fall. For more details, click here. To view a quick video introducing our summer reading challenge, click here.
