Butler Strong Promise

On April 29th, students and staff signed the Butler Strong Promise to renew their commitment to keeping

Butler safe and to reporting anything that could be a threat against our school or community. A memorial

plaque was placed in the lobby of the school as a memorial to Butler student Bobby McKeithen. In the pic-

tures below, Butler Strong Promises line the entryway of the school and surround Bobby’s memorial plaque.
