FALL FUNDRAISER
Bucks for Bush is our online fundraiser where we get to keep 100% of the proceeds. Direct contributions remove the need to work with outside companies, which typically retain a huge percentage of proceeds. Every dollar we raise through Bucks for Bush will be invested back into our school, for things such as curriculum enhancements, innovative tools for students, classroom grants and improvements to our playground.
WE GET TO KEEP 100% OF FUNDS
LAST YEAR, WE RAISED $52,000!
100% of the funds were invested back into our school
Thanks to your generosity, we paid for things that are not covered by District funds, such as Chromebook carts, technology maintenance, classroom supplies for our teachers, learning tools, and student celebrations, among other things. Check out Our Impact page to see how funds were allocated. We celebrated our achievements with a fun run, Jingle Bell Run, a pizza party for the class that raised the most, fun dress-up days for the grade levels the raised the most, ice cream sandwiches, a glow dance party and first in line to shop at our Bush Store.
​
We have improved Bucks for Bush for the 2024-25 school year with an online platform that will allow families to create a page for their student, see how much money their student is raising, and accumulate incentives as they go. Similar to Boosterthon but minus the fees we had to pay Booster.
LEGACY BRICK PROGRAM
Cement Your Fourth Grader's Legacy at Bush Elementary
In 2023, we launched our Legacy Fourth Grader & Alumni Brick Program with Bucks for Bush. Each brick is personalized and cemented along one of the playground walls. This is a special opportunity to cement your Bobcat's legacy and sharing their memory engraved on a brick for future generations to see. Each brick is $120 and purchase includes personalization and installation. All proceeds benefit Bush Elementary's playground fund with a portion of the purchase tax deductible. Sales will open again this fall.
