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.
This year we raised $52,000!
100% of the Funds are Invested Back into Our School
Thanks to your generosity, we will be able to pay 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. While we still need another $35,000 to fund improvements to the playground, such as covering the dirt on the soccer field and GaGa Ball Pit, all the money we raised this year is coming back to our school.
Your Donation Makes a Difference
Our District does not pay to fix our playground. We have a large patch of dirt with two soccer goals and a GaGa Ball Pit where students like to play. But, when it rains, they can’t go on the field or the GaGa Ball Pit because of the mud puddles that form after a heavy rain. And when it doesn’t rain, both of those areas become a dust bowl or they're full of potholes which makes it unsafe for the students to run in. We will continue to save and add to our Playground Fund to fix these areas in the playground.

Each brick is $120 and purchase includes personalization and installation (anticipated Spring 2024).
