Arapaho-Butler plans February events

Arapaho-Butler Elementary is hosting a Pancake Supper and a Literacy Fair from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 20, which will occur alongside a week-long book fair running from Feb. 19-23. Principal Brad Southall said the supper is an annual event at A-B schools since before he became elementary principal. The addition of a literacy and book fair are welcome additions, said Southall, as all of the proceeds from the event go toward the Teacher’s Classroom Fund.

Southall said they will serve pancakes, sausage, water, tea and – of course – milk.
