Thank You Volunteers

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers and parents who helped to support our spring book fair. We had a fantastic turn out and ended the week with another fantastic fundraiser for the library. I am incredibly grateful for our wonderful community at Bush Hill. An extra special thank you goes out to our amazing volunteers without whom this event would not have been possible. Your time and energy is so greatly appreciated!

Spring Concert

The Bush Hill Music Department is gearing up for our Spring Concert. The Band, Orchestra and Chorus Spring Concert will be the evening of Thursday, May 12 at 7:00 PM outside Bush Hill Elementary.  Families should bring their own chairs/blankets to sit on.  The rain date will be the following Thursday: May 19th at 7 PM. 

Students who are in band, orchestra, or chorus should dress up for the concert.  Students should wear white shirts and black (dark) pants or skirts.  We would prefer that the shirts have no writing on them.  Chorus will be standing on risers for their concert.  Please encourage your child to choose shoes which will allow them to stand comfortably. 

Please remember that all students must be accompanied to and from the performances by an adult. We look forward to seeing you at our Spring Concert!
