B-PC Project Success

Bushnell-Prairie Schools has a Project Success organization for the Elementary School. We encourage parents and volunteers to contribute, and take part in this highly effective and much-needed program. Without volunteer assistance, our school would not be able to continue the highest quality of education we feel that students deserve, and which we strive for. Our school is dependent upon community participation and volunteers from not just parents, but other family and community members as well. It is our hope that our volunteers are as rewarded by their experience and contributions of their time as we are in having them.

Elementary Project Success
Parents and volunteers help our classroom teachers with three classroom parties and several classroom projects throughout the school year. Classroom parties are scheduled for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Dates will be announced. Depending upon the number of room volunteers, helpers may be asked to donate treats once, twice or three times a year. Times of classroom parties and activities for the party will be determined by the students and their teachers

Bushnell Arts Foundation

The Bushnell Arts Foundation was founded in 1983 by Eileen and Carl Rauschert and is sponsored through Mid-West Control Products.
The Arts Foundation maintains a general goal of meeting the artistic needs of the community through art, music, drama and architecture. If you're interested in getting more information or have inquiries about donating, contact JoEllen Pensinger at joellenpensinger@gmail.com.

Volunteer

Elementary Volunteer Opportunities
Please be sure you complete a volunteer information and waiver of liability form along with your volunteer helpers form. Without the waiver form you will not be allowed to help.

Please note: Many of our grade levels schedule the Halloween, Christmas and Valentine parties at the same time. In order to avoid confusion, we ask parents to refrain from volunteering as head room parent for more than one child per year. You may continue to contribute to your other children's parties throughout the year.

Box Tops for Education
We often forget how simple Box Tops for Education is. For each Box Top you cut and send to school, we get 10 cents. This has been a very easy and simple money maker for our school for quite a long time. Please check your labels on the purchases you make everyday from food items, snacks to toilet paper for the Box Top Label. Just cut this out and send with your child to the school office where we bundle and mail the Box Tops for reimbursement. Thank you for helping our school earn extra money for the little things we need.

Junior High Volunteer Opportunities
B-PC JH Project Success needs volunteers throughout the school year to help with programs and activities. If you would like to volunteer to help, please complete a volunteer information and waiver of liability form and submit it to B-PC Junior High.
