Bush Elementary December Newsletter

Bush Elementary Families,

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. Our team at Bush enjoyed a "Friends-giving" of our own, serving our students a variety of holiday themed snacks/treats before dismissing for the break. Thank you to those that helped make this event possible!

As the weather begins to feel a bit more like winter, please remember to send your child with a coat to school (and check the lost and found if it doesn't make it back home). We promote outdoor recess, but want to ensure that our students are comfortable and safe, and those coats help make that possible. Also, please be mindful of our 7:40am arrival time, as we want to limit the amount of time that students are waiting outside prior to doors opening.

Be sure to check the IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES section below to mark your calendar for these and future events.

Don't forget to stay current on all things Bush Elementary by following school happenings on our Bush Elementary Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BushElementarySchool) and by using the hashtag #FultonProud.

Enjoy your week!

It's a great day to be a Hornet!
