A Message from Mrs. Thompson

Good afternoon,

We have had a wonderful week at Bush! We celebrated 2/22/22 with a school wide dance party at 2:22, we celebrated our "You Rock" Award winners, and today we have Movie Night at Mitchell Intermediate. We look forward to seeing our Bobcat families there!


I get excited looking at the calendar and seeing all the amazing things that we have planned for the next few weeks. We are looking forward to our 4th grade field trip, Science Night, Book Fair, Kindergarten rodeo and Spring Break! I am so grateful that we can be together for these events and provide experiences for our students.


Thank you and have a great weekend!


Sincerely,

Mrs. Thompson

Our SPRING BOOK FAIR is COMING!

STEM Night

For this year's Science (STEM) Night and Book fair we are asking families to:


  1. Enter and exit the door designated for your child's grade level. If you have students in multiple grade levels, pick one to enter and exit through.
  2. Stay together. The teachers are focused on the experiments and they are not able to help with "crowd control".
  3. Rotate the building in a clockwise manner. Go with the flow of traffic.

This is such a fun event and we are excited to be able to have it again this year!

If you would like to apply to be a substitute for CISD, you can apply here. In case you weren’t aware, you can register at specific schools. For example, if you have a student at Bush, one at Mitchell and one at McCullough, you can sign up to sub at just those three schools. We hope to see you on our substitute list very soon. If you have any questions please contact the CISD substitute office at 936-709-7859.

You can simply wait out on the front porch. At that start of your students lunch a staff member will meet you out front and walk you outside and around the building to the picnic area. Once your lunch time is complete you will walk back to the front of the building. There is no need to check out in the front office.

Can Your Business Help?

We are so excited to be planning our Bobcat Bonanza to be held April 22nd (with a rain date of April 29th). This community event serves as our spring fundraiser which includes a BBQ or Pizza dinner, games, inflatables, a DJ, children's raffle, and our silent auction! This silent auction serves as a fun event for parents as well as a great way to earn money for some of our school programs.

If you have a business, you own or work for and would like to donate an item for our silent auction, we would love to represent your business on our silent auction table. In turn, if you would prefer to simply as a sponsor of the event, we would still recognize your business! Attached is our Donation/Sponsorship letter which shows our different levels of sponsorship and what kind of advertising we will offer in return to help promote your business. Also, families are always welcome to donate auction items as well if interested.

This is in no way meant to feel like an obligation. We just wanted to share the invitation in case anyone is interested. Please reach out to Caitlin Reeves at president@bushpto.com if you have any questions.


Thank you!
