Bullis Charter School takes the show on the road

Students of Bullis Charter School took their spring musical on the road at the end of the school year. They performed songs from an adaptation of “A Chorus Line” at the Pilgrim Haven retirement community in Los Altos.

The fifth-graders visited with residents after the show.

“We loved the performance and visiting with the children,” said resident Marion Kirk, who saw a benefit to the students as well: “It’s important for them to make connections with people from all walks of society.”

BCS students in all grade levels participated in community service projects during the school year.

They raised several hundred dollars from bake sales and donated the funds to SurfAide International for use in relief efforts after the Dec. 26 tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

Students washed cars to raise money for breast cancer research, hauled garbage from a Santa Cruz beach and volunteered in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart fund-raiser.

They also promoted several recycling campaigns and canned food drives for a variety of causes and sold wristbands to support sea turtle research in

Indonesia.
