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
THIS YEAR WE RAISED MORE THAN $65,000!
Bucks for Bush was a huge success! ALL students will celebrate their fundraising efforts with a Jingle Bell Run at Alden Bridge Field on Dec. 13. Bush PTO will give all students a FREE T-shirt that they can also wear on Spirit Fridays. Click here for the Jingle Bell Run FAQs.
​
Since we reached our stretch goal of $65K, our Bush teachers will participate in a Mascot Race on Dec. 13 at 1:15 pm at Alden Bridge Field.

Student & Teacher Rewards
100% of the funds are invested back into our school
Thanks to your generosity, we are 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.

LEGACY BRICK PROGRAM
Cement Your Fourth Grader's Legacy at Barbara Bush Elementary
In 2023, we launched our Legacy Fourth Grade & Alumni Bricks with Bucks for Bush. Each brick is personalized and cemented along one of the playground walls. Each fourth grader who raises at least $200 during the Bucks for Bush fundraiser will get a personalized brick. This is a special opportunity to cement your Bobcat's legacy and sharing their memory engraved on a brick for future generations to see. Families of Bush Alumni who wish to get a brick for their former Bobcat can do so by donating $200 toward the fundraiser here.
