Thanks to our MOT staff for their hard work this summer, especially during the last two weeks of really hot weather. Steven, Ruben, Misty, Darryl, and Rosa, you are awesome and also did a great job of modeling in front of the new BW backdrops.

Parent participation and involvement is critical to student success. Today we recognized parents who have contributed assistance in the classroom this year. Thank you for finding the time to assist your child's teacher and for making education a priority. #1townschoolcommunity
These 3 and 4 year olds from our two preschool classes are cute no matter what they do. They looked the Superintendent in the eye and shook his hand when they got their certificates of completion at tonight's program. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
When teachers devote their lives to students great things happen at school and in the classroom. On behalf of Buttonwillow School, the School Board, and the staff we congratulate Mrs. Caulfield and Mrs. Ghilarducci on their retirements. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
BW's goal is to open students to possibilities. As we share universities throughout the year, we recognize the military is also a means to learn about options for their future. This month's gear is from the military academies. #1townschoolcommunity #bw2college @AVID4College
