🏐Youth Volleyball Camps🏐 The JV and Varsity Lady Bears are once again holding camps for our youth programs. This year, instead of a middle school camp, we are offering a “Mini Bears & Mentors” camp for girls entering grades 1-2 next year in addition to our “Youth Camp” for girls entering grades 3-5. For the “Mini Bears” camp, each camper should bring an adult (16+) who will help them during camp, but more importantly, will be able to help guide the camper as they continue to practice their skills at home throughout the year. Please don’t send any forms or camp fees back to school. Please just bring your form and fee with you to the first day of camp. Forms will be going home with Butler Elementary students today, but students from any school or town are welcome. Coach Goldammer is happy to email forms, or we will have forms available at camp.

The Butler Bears Scholar Bowl Team wrapped up an outstanding season at the MSHSAA Class 3 State Championship Tournament held on the campus of the University of Missouri on May 8, 2026. The Bears finished 4th in the state among approximately 70 Class 3 schools from across Missouri. Butler came up just short in a heartbreaking battle for 3rd place, but the team represented Butler with tremendous determination, knowledge, and sportsmanship throughout the tournament. Congratulations to Easton Woolace for earning All-State Team honors with an outstanding performance at the state tournament! The Bears completed an incredible season that included winning the Ozark Highlands Conference Championship, the District Championship, and defeating a very tough East Buchanan team in the quarterfinals, which sent them to the state championships. Congratulations to the entire Butler Bears Scholar Bowl Team on an unforgettable season. The future is bright, and we are already looking forward to next season!

The Lady Bears end their season with a loss to Lone Jack in the second round of the district tournament. ❤️🥎🖤
