About Me:

Hello! I'm Ms. Butler and this is my 11th year of teaching, and my 8th year as your Performing Arts teacher at Cypress! Before moving to Texas, I enjoyed teaching and performing all across the South --I've lived in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Georgia! I have a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance, a B.S. in Elementary Education, and a M.Ed. in Theatre Education. Before making the switch to teaching for public schools, I worked for various professional theatre companies and children's museums as a performer, director, teaching artist, and fine arts coordinator. 

I love anything and everything creative: drawing, painting, acting, dancing, singing, writing, sewing... you name it! 

In class, I like to create a safe space where our cheetahs can explore their imaginations, build their confidence, and try new things! Though we will grow in our music and theatre skills, it's also my hope that each young person can use the arts to help them grow in their abilities to communicate, collaborate, cooperate, and empathize with others.
