Bravo Bush Middle School Drama! Check out photos from the Middle School fall play "The Nursery." Last week Bush Middle School students in the Fall Drama E-lective classes were proud to present their fall production "The Nursey": a comedic musical fairy tale. “The Nursery” is a comedy that incorporates the world of classic fairy tales including song, slapstick, colorful characters, puppets, and audience participation.

Headlined by Cal J. '24 and Bernie R. '24 winning the state doubles title, it was a banner weekend across the board for the Bush Athletic Program as various teams and student-athletes wrapped up the spring season.

"What a truly special ending to the spring season it was for our Upper School student-athletes," Bush Athletic Director Jo Ito said.

Megan McKinney-Rickey is on a mission to break the stereotypes and labels that the gym and lifting weights  are only for certain individuals. The fitness center is an open space for everyone. Hired in the fall of 2022 as Bush’s Fitness Specialist, Megan has slowly started to transform the Bush Fitness Center into a more inclusive, safe, vibrant, and fun environment for the Bush community.

While Bush Spring sports have officially started, we'd like to recognize all of our Winter student-athletes for amazing and successful seasons! To catch up on all the action from the Blazer’s Athletic Winter Season enjoy this 2022-23 update. Click here for an interactive recap. 

It was a storybook ending to a special season for the Bush Cross Country program. Saturday at the 1A Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Cross Country State Championships in Pasco, the Bush Boys team won the state title for the first time in school history. The Blazers scored 95 points to edge out Northwest (100 points).

The Bush Cross Country program is state-bound for the second year in a row. Saturday at the 1A District 2 Championships at South Whidbey High School the boys team claimed the district team title with 55 points, while the girls placed runner-up with 76 points.

It was a banner day for the Blazer Cross Country program, as both the boys and girls teams finished in the top 3 at the Emerald Sound Conference Championships.

It seems fitting that the theme for Bush this year is joy – an emotion that is emulated this fall around the Blazer athletic department and on the sidelines. Four Bush alumni are in coaching roles, all with the collective goal to embrace being back and having some fun.

Henry F. '23 picked up his first golf club when he was seven years old. Through First Tee, a nationally recognized youth development organization that teaches youth about leadership and life skills through golf, Henry developed not only a passion for golf, but also what the sport could provide him off the course.

The Blazers Athletic Department recently completed its search for the Associate Athletic Director position.  "I am delighted to introduce Mel White as our new Associate Athletic Director" said Jo Ito, Athletic Director at The Bush School.  Mel comes with six years of experience in interscholastic high school sports.  Most recently, she worked as the Assistant Director of Student Life and Athletics at Seattle Prep where her responsibilities included developing leadership opportunities for students-athletes, managing compliance for 800 student-athletes, and overseeing game operations for volleyball, basketball, and football.  In addition to her passion for providing interscholastic athletic opportunities for students of all ages, Mel is a leader in promoting gender equity.  Her work with EmpowHER has resulted in female identifying athletes having better access to strength and conditioning training.  "Our program has grown significantly over the past years and it's exciting to receive additional support.  Mel is the perfect addition to our team - she will help manage our busy workload and keep our focus on finding ways to continue to advance our program.  She is fully aligned with our emphasis on providing student-athletes with well-balanced, inclusive, and positive sports experiences."  Outside of work, Mel enjoys coaching ice hockey for the University of Washington women's club hockey team and loves to get out and play when she gets the chance.
