The PTA is kicking-off our 2024 Fun Run Turkey Trot Fundraiser!

As we welcome the season of giving this November, we’re excited to kick off an opportunity for our students to support each other and our school community!  The Turkey Trot fundraiser will run now through Friday, November 29.  On November 21, before the Thanksgiving luncheon, students will have the chance to run as many laps as they can. This is not only a chance to stay active but also to reflect on what they’re grateful for, all while raising funds that will directly benefit our school and students.

The proceeds from this event will help fund amazing initiatives, including field trips, classroom libraries, a new school sign (a long-term goal we can all be excited about) and future Bush Hill community activities.

We need your help to achieve our $5,000 goal and make this Turkey Trot a huge success!

Classes with the most funds raised and most laps will receive prizes!

1st Place - Pizza Party

2nd Place - Dance Party

3rd Place - Extra Recess

When we achieve our school-wide goal of $5,000 raised, we will have a fun SURPRISE!!

How it works

  • Now - November 21 - Students set lap goals and secure sponsors. Sponsors make a pledge for each lap run, or a flat donation.
  • November 21 - In-person Fun Run! We will have on-site areas to drop off donations at the Thanksgiving Luncheon.
  • November 21 - 29 - Return donations collected via cash/check. Make checks payable to Bush Hill Elementary PTA (please note the class grade and teacher). Donations can also be dropped off to the Main Office. The online site will close for donations November 29.

This year Bush Hill PTA is proud to partner with VA and National PTA to participate in the Reflections program. Reflections  engages students and their families in arts education activities by encouraging students to explore the arts for fun and recognition. Reflections provides an opportunity for students to express their creativity in one of 6 artistic categories:

  • Dance Choreography
  • Film Production
  • Literature
  • Music Compositions
  • Photography
  • Visual Art

The Reflections theme for 2024-2025 is “Accepting Imperfections.”  

Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 6 students are encouraged to submit original works of art expressing this year’s theme; Reflections art works are being accepted now through Tuesday December 3. Please see the link to the student entry package below for detailed submission information.
