Families Association
Building Community & Belonging
The Bush School Families Association (FA) mission is to promote awareness, a sense of belonging, participation, and education of our families at Bush. Our purpose is to nurture a spirit of involvement and community between the school and its families. Every enrolled family is a member of the FA—and all FA events and meetings are open for all families to attend. There are many ways the FA reinforces the mission of our school; we have an opportunity for every person to get involved, no matter how much time you have. Together we can build a community where everyone is valued, seen, and heard and can live fully.
“Our FA goal is to build community by creating opportunities for Bush families to come together. And in doing so, we get many opportunities to do these simple acts of kindness by contributing time by attending or coordinating a get-together, a dish, or a warm smile." — 2026-2027 Bush Families Association President Joanna Smith
Spirit of Involvement
Our community is stronger when parents and guardians are active participants in the life of the school. At Bush, families contribute in a way that best fits their family and interests. Volunteering through the Families Association is a great way to build connections and be a part of supporting our students, faculty, and staff. Each year hundreds of volunteers come together to support signature school events and community engagement including Parent University, Blazer Bash, Family Affinity Groups, Faculty and Staff Appreciation Lunches, Book Fair, Annual Fund, Bush Arts, and more!
