Thursday October 31st is: “Double the Spirit: Twin Wearing Westside HS Colors”- Twin with Westside HS by wearing blue and/or gray to support the Homecoming Parade. We kindly ask that students do not come to school in their Halloween costumes tomorrow. 

November 7th will be a great opportunity to wear a costume connected to a book or career! Thank you!

Bush Elementary students, faculty, and staff will dress up on Thursday, November 7 to celebrate reading and careers. All are invited to dress up as a favorite book character or a profession/career goal. This costume/outfit will be worn all day so make sure it's comfortable and safe to wear at recess, lunch, and during specialists' class time.

We will celebrate our favorite book characters or careers with a parade on Thursday, November 7 at 8:30 a.m. The parade will start indoors and then exit out the building to the track. All students will walk around the track showcasing their book character or career goal.

Parents are invited to view the parade at 8:30 a.m. and line the outside or inside of the track, but not on the track as the students need to safely pass by. Parents will enter the track area through the gates at the end of the bus lane. Parents will not be in the building for the parade as we will be unable to safely process the entrance to the building via our Raptor background check system for so many people. Therefore, for the safety of all students, faculty, and staff, parents will not be allowed in the building for the building portion of the parade, or before or after the parade.

In the event of rain, the parade will still happen in the building for the students. In case of rainy weather the outside portion of the parade will be canceled, and parents will not be allowed inside the building. Parents will not be able to view the parade inside the building because we can't safely check in a large group of parents. 

Mrs. Miles is seeking scarves, pashminas, or large scraps of cloth for her drama classroom.  These donations will be used for draping and costume creation while students are in her class.  If you have any of these items at home that you would like to donate, please send them to school with your student, or place them in the box in the office.   

Thank you so much for your contributions to drama at Bush Elementary!
