Together Matters Fund

This fund was established by Bill and Sue Butler in order to assist New Britain High School’s Together Matters program, which is a class offered at the high school that develops and implements a pre-teaching experience for students interested in careers in education. Together Matters provides elementary school students with high school mentors that assist students in the learning process and motivates students to set high academic goals.

At the fund signing ceremony in March 2022, Bill and Sue expressed their hopes for the program and the Together Matters participants shared their stories about pulling younger students out of their shells, assisting with behavioral issues, and motivating them in their classwork. The program gives the NBHS students the experience to know what the classroom atmosphere is like, as well as the positive feelings of making connections and helping students.
