Barbara Bush Elementary was named after Former
First Lady Barbara Pierce Bush. When the school opened, students began
learning and reading about Mrs. Bush. Several books written about her
life, her autobiography, and Millie's Book: As Dictated to Barbara
Bush, are located in the school's library.
April 15, 1999, was a very special day for
students and faculty, as "everybody's grandma" came for a
visit. Mrs. Bush spent about an hour touring the building. Everyone
moved into the cafeteria, where Mrs. Bush was presented with many gifts
from the school and student body. There was a student led cheer, songs
performed by the Dynamic Dolphin choir, an ABC book featuring the life
of Mrs. Bush, and a quilt made with illustrations of "Our Favorite
Books" at Barbara Bush.
