Today we celebrate and honor the retirement of our beloved principal, Dr. Onesto. 🎉💙

Dr. Onesto has dedicated 28 years to education, including a few years taken off to raise her boys, and 11 years serving students in grades 1 through 4 at Butler. Throughout her career, she has made a lasting impact on countless students, families, and staff through her leadership, dedication, and heart for children.

When asked about retirement, Dr. Onesto shared that she is looking forward to hiking the entire Appalachian Trail, an incredible adventure ahead!

Some of her favorite school memories include welcoming staff back at the first staff meeting before school starts, Open House, Dining with the Doctor, and Breakfast with the Grinch. These traditions reflect the joy and connection she helped create within the Butler community.

We are so grateful for the leadership, care, and commitment Dr. Onesto has given to Butler over the years. While she will be deeply missed, her impact and legacy will remain part of our school family for years to come.

Congratulations, Dr. Onesto, and thank you for everything. Wishing you happiness, adventure, and all the best in retirement! 💙

Share your favorite memory, photo, or well wishes for Dr. O!
