A New Beat at Butterfield Canyon: Students Find Their ROAR

There’s a new sound echoing through the halls of Butterfield Canyon Elementary, and it’s giving students a reason to sing!

Students have been busy mastering their brand-new school anthem—a collaboration born right out of the heart of the school. The lyrics, penned by Principal Kimberly Andersen, and the melody, composed with the help of BTS Arts Teacher Tina Workman, do more than just provide a catchy tune. The song brings to life the “ROAR” motto that defines the school’s culture:

  • Respectful
  • Optimistic
  • Accepting
  • Responsible

A huge thank you to Ms. Andersen and Ms. Workman for giving the students a musical way to celebrate their values. We can’t wait to hear the whole school ROAR together!
