Butler says his advice to students is to keep pushing even when school gets hard.
I know it can be discouraging sometimes, you feel like you can’t get through the world or at least school, when the teachers feel like they’re on you, the reason they’re so hard on you is because they want you to succeed, even if it’s a tough love thing, they see a lot in you that you don’t see in yourself. So keep pushing,” said Butler.
Butler says the senior walk was bittersweet, but says it feels like ing the torch to the next generation.

Then, when they come back, it’s like the finished product, and it reaffirms us on why we do what we do. It becomes very emotional for us as well,” said Jacque Osteen, Millbrook Elementary principal.
