JUNE/JULY 2021
I hope everyone's summer is off to a fantastic start! Happy fourth of July weekend to all! We are blessed to live in a wonderful nation where we value freedom and individual rights, but sometimes things are not always perfect. We are all human, sometimes we make mistakes, while we are not perfect, what is important to remember is to always focus on recognizing our short comings and striving to do better. Always remember that our freedom was purchased at a price. Jesus paid the price for our eternal salvation, the men and women serving in our armed services paid the price for our freedom here on earth.
“America means opportunity, freedom, power.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are blessed. Happy 4th of July everyone!!
This is our Hello/Goodbye newsletter.
A sincere heartfelt welcome to our new families who will be joining Butterfly School August 31. You are part of a great Christian school filled with the love of God and learning! We are glad you are here!
Well, we made it! It wasn't always easy but we made it! We had a great year in spite of COVID. Lots of learning, lots of playing and lots of friends!
This past year has been the longest/shortest year EVER! Now that the year is over, I can’t believe how fast the time has passed! It is such a pleasure to be part of a wonderful school of precious children, outstanding teaching staff and great supportive parents! Personally, I am very much looking forward to welcoming our new and returning students when we begin our 2021-2022 school year.
I was glad we were able to hold an in-person graduation ceremony. Our Grads may have been few in number but they were large in spirit, we wish them success as they start Kindergarten. In person graduations are much better than ZOOM graduations!! We are slowly but surly enrolling new students and growing our numbers for the fall! I am looking forward to again having our Christmas program, our end of the year program and all the special celebrations in between!
We bid fair well to our wonderful fours families too! Some of you have been with us for many years! As these precious children move on to Kindergarten, I hope your time at Butterfly School will be a sweet lifetime memory! You will be missed! May our Lord continue to bless each of you as you begin this next phase of learning.
ENROLLMENT PACKETS!
PLEASE TURN IN YOUR Enrollment PACKET! If you were unable to return your child's enrollment packet prior to the end of school due to summer doctor appointments and the required health certificate, the Butterfly School office will be closed in July but will open on Wednesdays in August from 10-2! To assure your child will be able to start the first day of school, the enrollment packet must be in office by Wednesday, August 11.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU! Check out the New Butterfly School Bench!!
There are a few sneaky parents out there!! You sure surprised me!! I was humbled and honored at the amazing butterfly school bench you all donated to our playground! There are no words to adequately tell you how much that meant to me! The plaque is such a beautiful bonus. This year COVID added a dimension of stress in being responsible for the safety and well being of our students. And in addition, this year was difficult and heartbreaking, losing my 102 year old mother in Feb and hearing the ‘C’ word at the Doctor's office in March and then my procedure in April. Your gracious prayers were felt and appreciated. It was a blessing to return to RBS, the place that brings me such joy!
The butterfly bench is simply beautiful! What a great addition to our playground! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity– It means so much to me!
Celebrating our Safety Team
Our Butterfly Safety Team was honored on Friday, June 11 with a luncheon provided by our amazing Butterfly School Parents! There was delicious Dickies BBQ and scrumptious desserts from Judy’s Pies. It was a time enjoyed by all! Thank you for helping us honor these wonderful men.
AFTER SCHOOL CARE is back in the Fall.
Forms will be available at Meet the Teacher Day on Tuesday, August 24th at 9AM.
