Mrs. Walters' News
We continue to work on our Bushnell Gives Back campaign!
Mrs. Ludwig (gym teacher) sent the following regarding our Kids Heart Challenge fundraiser: Wow! Our Bushnell Bears have been doing such a great job getting donations for the American Heart Association (Kids Heart Challenge). Our goal is $3,000 and we are currently at $2,650!! With all of the snow days we are moving our Kids Heart Challenge event back one week to February 26-28, which will be held during regular class gym time. We still have two weeks to meet our goal! Thank you for all of your help and support in fighting heart disease.
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
The FROM food fight has wrapped up. If you have additional items you are welcome to bring them in to Bushnell and we will be sure to get them to FROM so they can benefit members of our own community. I do not have final numbers of items from each classroom but will report out next week. Check out the video below to see our goal of "Fill the Showcase" challenge reached!
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!
