 It’s pecan fundraising time for the Butler County Homemakers!  Homemakers are taking orders for pecans, either pieces or halves through October 26th.  These are fresh pecans (2014 crop) and the Homemakers will be getting delivery of the first group picked.

    They will sell for $9.00 per pound and the funds raised from this project is used to provide two educational scholarships each year.

Jeff Jennings former principal of North Butler comes to visit school after unbelievable K-prep scores. On October 14, 2014 Jeff Jennings came and told the school how great our scores were for K-prep and that he was very proud of us. Last year he would always enter the gym saying “we are” and the students would respond “North Butler”, so this time he came in saying it again. When he came to visit all of the students were excited and happy to see him. Last year he encouraged the third, fourth and fifth grade into putting their effort into the test, so we all thank you for that.

On Friday, October 17th the Boys and Girls Club of Butler County had a pizza party to celebrate the good grades of club members.

The middle school and high school students at the club also continue to excel, but their report cards were not out at the time of the pizza party.
