Mayor Palmer talked to the students about respect and what the Pledge of Allegiance means to him. He even promised to return to Butterfield Canyon for the school Fun Run in September and get slimed if they meet their fundraising goal.

Thank you, Mayor Palmer, for your time and support of our schools in Herriman. Have a great school year, Butterfield Canyon!
