Welcome! My name is Lance Butler. I am the school Student Support Specialist. I have been teaching at KES for over 20 years and am excited to start the year! Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have any concerns about your child. I'm here to help make sure they have the best year they can! I will update my webpage often with upcoming dates, lunch and breakfast menus, and other things that are important to the kids. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your child this year!
