Mrs. Walters' News
Dear Bushnell Elementary Families,
We had a fun day celebrating our respectful, responsible and safe Bushnell bears with a Disney Day!
The deadline to order your yearbook is next TOMORROW! See below for ordering information.
IMPORTANT! Staff Appreciation Week is next week and we need your help to make it really special! Please click on this LINK for a signupgenius to see what we need!
Bushnell students are invited to participate in Lowell’s 2022 FOOD FIGHT, to benefit the Food Pantry at Flat River Outreach Ministries. The FOOD FIGHT will run May 2-20. During the month of May, food items and paper goods can be brought to school, where they will be counted in classrooms. Each food/paper item earns our school 1 point towards a friendly competition between the elementary schools. Monetary donations can also be given, and our school will tally 4 points per dollar. Here is a link to donate: https://www.mygiving.net/campaign/2022-Food-Fight-School. Help us bring home the traveling FOOD FIGHT trophy and share what you can. For the week of May 2-6, our focus is on canned fruits (in 100% juice) and vegetables (low salt).
This is the time of year when parents start inquiring about how to keep their kids academically engaged over the summer. The fabulous Arrow Readers on the Move program will be out and about this Summer. Lowell Area Schools will be hosting a summer school for students that qualify as well. The Englehardt Library will also be running some special activities. I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep kids reading over the summer months. I also cannot say enough positive comments about Reflex Math and IXL. These are FREE, highly engaging, online websites for our kids. Having your child work on Reflex Math and/or IXL daily in the summer will help keep and build on their math and reading fluency.
The school calendar is filling up fast! Field trips and special events are being planned and scheduled through the end of the school year! Be on the look out for those important dates being sent out from your child’s teacher!
Internal Schools of Choice Internal schools of choice applications for the 2021-2022 school year are available now-May 13.
