Butler Campus Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The latest Family Literacy Night held by the Butler Global Studies campus on January 20th honored the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Two books, The Story of Martin Luther King Jr. by Johnny Ray Moore and Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr. by Jean Marzollo, were chosen for reading and discussion among parents and students. Following these discussions, seven students from grades 1-4 took to the stage to recite sections from Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream Speech”. Wrapping up this inspiring event, a delicious dinner was served and shared by Butler families. These Literacy Nights have become an important part of the Butler campus experience thanks to the hard work of the PTA and the support of Butler families.

Our Vision:
The vision of Community Academy Public Charter School is to raise children to become competent, responsible adults who actively pursue lifelong learning opportunities.
| CAPCS Founder Kent Amos reads the Halloween tale The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams to a group of early childhood students. The delighted children wiggled, clapped their hands and shook their bodies just like the characters in the book. Who do you suppose enjoyed it more? |
