Van R. Butler Elementary School proudly hosted a Veterans Day program on Monday, November 10th that truly honored those who have served and continue to serve our country. "This year we had more veterans participate than ever before," said Principal Tammy Smith.  "It was an honor to see our little ones sing 'America the Beautiful' and applaud those who have and still serve our country." Students sang, waved flags, and applauded veterans from all branches of the military.  Special thanks to the Butler Student Council, Mrs. Heidi Morgan, Mrs. Rebecca Stuart, and Mrs. Rebecca Austin for organizing such a wonderful program
