welcome
What is a Boltdog Booster?
We're IPS Butler Lab School 55's parent organization, fostering an inclusive, collaborative community that enriches and supports the students, staff, and families of Butler Lab School 55. There are lots of ways to get involved!
MEET OTHER FAMILIES
Because we are a Reggio-inspired school, community is at the heart of what we do. Meet the families, staff, students, volunteers, and partners that contribute to our school's success by attending school events—including four Boltdog Booster meetings during the school year. View the school community calendar—or add it to your personal calendar so you don't miss a single opportunity!
You can get involved
There are lots of ways for families to get involved in the Boltdog Boosters and support our school. Here are a few of the things you can do:
Volunteer on a committee
Volunteers are integral to our school's success. You can help plan an event, care for our outdoor learning and play spaces, work the concession stand at a sporting event, plan fundraisers, restock the teachers' lounge, make phone calls to welcome new families to our school—or dozens of other possibilities. No matter your interests, we've got a space for you!
Attend a Boltdog Boosters meeting
The full general meeting takes place four times during the school year. Check the calendar for this year's meeting dates.
Meetings take place at school in the cafeteria. Watch for reminders and additional details in the school's weekly family newsletter.
Donate funds for programs
General donations make all our activities possible, including the Boltdog Block Party, instruments and materials for our school music programs, 8th grade promotion ceremony, outdoor gardens, middle school dance, thank you gifts for staff and bus drivers, and so much more.
You can make a gift by credit card online or bring a check payable to Boltdog Boosters to Ms. Taylor in the front office.
Purchase Spiritwear
Did you know... IPS Butler Lab 55 earns money for every item sold in our spiritwear store. Students can wear their spiritwear every Friday. Add something to the cart for yourself, too, and show your Boltdog pride!
Order during one of our special promotion periods and get free shipping to your student at school. Want to keep it a secret or order outside of the promotion window? You can have items shipped to your home for an additional fee.
