W.R. Bush Elementary School Mission Statement: “Every student will learn to be a self-directed learner and will become a contributing, caring citizen through home and school cooperation.”
Bush Elementary is a Young 5’s, Kindergarten, and first Grade building. We currently have 3 sections of Young 5’s, averaging 15-16 students each. We have 6 sections of ½ day Kindergarten, averaging 19 students per section. Our First Grade students make up 5 sections, averaging 23 students per classroom.
Bush students benefit from an excellent learning environment, a highly qualified and caring faculty and staff, and many special classes and activities ranging from music, Media Center story time, physical education, and computer lab.
Our school-wide theme this year is “Welcome to the Jungle.” This year’s Book Fair was centered around a jungle animal theme. We hosted a family read-in evening, and we “Roared into Reading.” The students love to read and to have stories read to them.
Once again, the Bush parent volunteers constructed a float, the Red Wagon, for Garber’s Homecoming parade. Along with this project, our volunteers extend a very helpful hand throughout the school year. Parents and families are always welcome in our building, and we appreciate the assistance they provide to our students.
