From the Principal
We had a wonderful week at Bush! The students loved shopping at the Bush Buck Store today. Students receive Bush Bucks for following our Guidelines for Success: Responsibility, Kindness, Perseverance, and Resilience.
Thank you to our counselor, Mrs. Heinle for organizing our store and making it possible for our students to shop today. We also want to thank our amazing volunteers who worked the store and everyone who donated prizes! We appreciate you!
Have a great weekend!
