Help Shape Our PTA Leadership

PTA elections will be held before the end of this school year to form our new PTA Board for the 2026–2027 school year. 

We are looking for nominations of parents and caregivers who are willing to step into leadership roles and help support our Bush Hill community. The more hands we have, the lighter the lift for everyone. Many hands really do make less work!

Interested but not sure what’s involved? No problem! Reach out to the PTA and we’re happy to walk you through the roles, time commitment, and expectations.
