Celebrate Bush | Party at Paisley Park
On Saturday, March 8, Celebrate Bush: Party at Paisley Park brought our community together for an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, laughter, music, and celebration! The night was dedicated to supporting financial aid and honoring Percy L. Abram for his eleven years as Head of School at The Bush School.
Under the leadership of Celebrate Bush Chair Joey Burgess and Procurement Chair Joanna Smith, and with the help of twenty-two dedicated volunteers, this year’s event was a spectacular success. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised $705,596.34.
The event’s theme was a nod to celebrating the boldness and individuality of Prince, an artist whose spirit and music Dr. Abram deeply admires. Much like Prince, Dr. Abram has blazed his own trail at Bush—acquiring the Methow Campus; opening transformative new buildings; and fostering a culture of innovation, openness, and big ideas that will inspire future generations.
Since 1980, Bush parents and guardians, faculty, staff, alumni, and students have collaborated on an annual auction to support the school, originally called the Bush Auction. The tradition of an annual fundraiser began in the early 1960s with the Bush Basket rummage sale organized by the Mother’s Club.
The Bush School is an independent, coeducational day school located in Seattle, WA enrolling 735 students in grades K–12. The mission of The Bush School is to spark in students of diverse backgrounds and talents a passion for learning, accomplishment, and contribution to their communities
