Mrs. Walters' News
We had a half day of school today and no school tomorrow. Enjoy this mid-winter break and your weekend!
From Mrs. Ludwig: We are one week away from our Kid's Heart Challenge event and we are just about $200 away from reaching our goal of $3,000! Our Bushnell Bears have been doing a fantastic job getting donations. Our American Heart Association representative has informed me that if half of our students (133 kids) sign-up on-line to do a heart challenge we can earn $500 for new PE equipment for our school! It's FREE to sign-up and plus your student will get a free glow wristband when they do so! Thank you for your help in reaching these goals!! The link is www.heart.org/kidsheartchallenge
Our Pennies for Patients campaign also continues and the donations are flooding in! It is difficult to gauge an amount as much of the donations are in the form of coins that have yet to be counted. However- I have no doubt that Bushnell is doing a fantastic job! Here is a link to our web site if you would rather donate online: https://events.lls.org/pages/mi/Bushnell-Elementary-School-2019
We are in need of donations for our PBIS prize cart that students purchase things from every other Friday. If you have any stuffed animals, toys, art supplies, bouncy balls- really anything- that you would like to donate, please send in with your child or drop off in the office!
