Call for Volunteers! Fall Festival, Admissions Events, and More!

While Fall Festival is primarily a school-day event for students, faculty, and staff, there are many opportunities for all K-12 parents and guardians to volunteer, including supporting booths with cotton candy, popcorn, face painting, and more. Upper School advisor groups host most of the booths, and it is incredibly helpful to have a small and mighty group of parent/guardian volunteers to help with the most popular booths.

 

Sign-up to be a parent and guardian volunteer chaperone in your child’s grade level for Fall Festival! We are seeking a minimum of ten-to-twelve chaperones for each grade level (Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade) to help support our youngest students’ experience at Fall Festival. Fourth and Fifth Grade students may explore the festival with a buddy.  

 

Chaperones can request to chaperone their own child only or a group of two-to-three students in navigating Fall Festival. Your responsibility will be to stay with our assigned group of students the entire time, visiting booths and helping students to make choices along the way for activities and food. Chaperones will pick-up students in their child’s grade level classroom at 12:00 p.m. and return to the same location at 2:00 p.m. to prepare for dismissal. 

 

 

Reminder: Parents and guardians who volunteer for any opportunity in the classrooms and/or on field trips must fill out the Washington State Patrol Background Check document every academic year. Please turn this into your Division Assistant.

Volunteers are vital to building connections with prospective families and providing them a sense of the Bush community. Returning and newly enrolled families are encouraged to volunteer, as you each bring your own unique experiences. The admissions team couldn’t do it without you!

 

We host events that fit a wide range of availability, whether during the day, evening, or weekends.

 

 

Feel free to contact devon.kollmyer@bush.edu or admission@bush.edu with any questions about volunteering. We hope you consider joining our wonderful volunteer community and sharing your story with prospective families this year.
