Greenback Campaign

We are often asked what are Greenbacks?

It is simply a donation that you make to Bush PTA that 100% goes back to the PTA.  We found that many people did not want to be selling wrapping paper or cookie dough or some other product where the PTA would only earn a portion of the proceeds.  For example, if we had a fundraiser and we made $2,000 from sales we would unfortunately only see anywhere from $400-$600 versus if collected that much in greenbacks we would have $2000.  Please consider donating as it all goes to help enrich our student’s learning.

You may ask what are these funds used for? 

Bush PTA has an expense budget of $21,705.  We use these funds for programs such as 8th Grade Activities, Red Ribbon Week, Arts Reflection, Awards, Campus Beautification, Faculty/staff Appreciation, HEALS (support our clinic), Field Day, Life Membership Honorees, Military Appreciation, parent education programs, website, Library, Counselors, and other programs.  But without your support we can not fund all these fabulous programs.  If we could get as a minimum $20.00 per student, it would be greatly appreciated.  You can donate by scanning the QR code below for your child’s grade level.

Please help us get back to being able to do more for our students.  Last year we were only able to do the following: Arts Reflection, Faculty/staff appreciation, Field Day (popsicles), Life Membership, Military Appreciation, help with author visit and 8th grade activities.  We were unable to help clinic, counseling office, student enrichment activities or have more parent education programs because we did not have enough funds.  Please help make this a better year.

We will be having a competition between 6th, 7th and 8th Grade!  

Who will be the winner?? 

Winning grade level will be able to sit outside to eat lunch!
