Each spring, the South Dayton community comes together for a pancake breakfast that supports the Wyatt Butcher Memorial Scholarship, honoring the memory of Pine Valley and WNY P-TECH student Wyatt Butcher.
Established in 2022, the scholarship recognizes students pursuing skilled trades pathways. Since its creation, eight students have received the award, including this year’s recipients, Ethan Camus and Myah Benjamin.
For Wyatt’s family, the event is about more than fundraising — it’s a way to keep his name and passion for hands-on learning alive while supporting students who share his goals and determination.
