  • Eleventh Grade Daisy Chain, Sunday, June 8

    The Eleventh Grade students play an important role in Commencement at The Bush School. On the day of graduation, it is tradition that the Eleventh Grade class builds a daisy chain, processes the chain down the graduation aisle, and then recesses with the daisy chain after the ceremony is over. Participation in this ceremony is an important rite of passage for juniors as they begin their transition into senior year. The creation and presentation of the traditional daisy chain is mandatory for all Eleventh Grade students.

"There has always been a chain of flowers at graduation... Though the classes are larger, graduation now is very much the same as my graduation in 1941. The wonderful warmth and spirit, the family of Bush remains constant."
