Workout Wednesday

Workout Wednesdays are the 2nd Wednesday of the Month.

To celebrate and promote a healthy lifestyle teachers, staff and students can wear workout clothes or one of their favorite sports jerseys.  We share with classroom teachers some movement activities that they can use as movement breaks during the day to get the students moving!

Workout Wednesday is today, May 11th!

Save the date for the Last work out Wednesday of the year June 8th.

Join Us Thursday For Our 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!
