In our recent Bush Elementary School “Focus on Schools” feature in The Post-Journal, we explored the story behind the school’s name. Throughout the school year, as we highlight our individual schools, we’ll also introduce the people whose names — and contributions — remain part of education in Jamestown.

First up: Clinton V. Bush!
🚲 A Kennedy native, Bush biked to the original Jamestown High School, graduating in 1905. He attended what is now Rochester Institute of Technology before beginning his teaching career.
🏫 Bush returned to Jamestown in 1924 to lead industrial education and served as JPS’ fifth superintendent from 1938 to 1946. He helped plan JHS’ industrial arts building and additions to the district’s three junior high schools.
❤️ Clinton V. Bush Elementary School opened in 1956, honoring his lasting contributions to Jamestown students.

Congratulations to Mrs. Goldstein, Ms. Lines, Mrs. Senn, and Mrs. Anderson! They were recognized as a Pillar of JPS on Friday 10/9/26:
"Tracey Goldstein is truly one of the people who makes Bush School feel like home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated, and she brings that same care and attention to everything she does. She has a gift for making every student feel seen, supported, and cared for, while making staff feel valued. Tracey is someone we can always count on, bringing both competence and heart to all of the things she does. Our school is so much better because she is a part of it!"

"Tracey and Maddie are incredible! They truly go above and beyond for their students. They are always welcoming, kind, and encouraging. Their genuine care for the students shines through everything they do. Their thoughtful gestures and kind words of encouragement never go unnoticed. They always make my son feel valued and supported in more ways than one. We are so grateful for all they do and the positive impact they have on our children."

"Mrs. Senn is a model primary teacher! She creates an environment that is welcoming and magical. Her daily routine is consistent and predictable allowing students to feel a sense of calm. She maximizes the amount of practice her students can do by creating centers that students take ownership of. Bush is fortunate to have Mrs. Senn as a kindergarten teacher!"

"Mrs Anderson, a teacher now a Pre- K at Bush has always gone above and beyond her responsibilities as a leader. She plans her weekly schedule for the children: whether it be outdoor activities, visitors, learning experiences or artwork for holidays and parents. She personally takes time to connect with families and get any services needed for their situations. She is stern when it comes time for learning- and loving when a hug is needed. Teamwork in her classroom is vital to be a success: everyone is respected and appreciated. Staff and children! Mrs. Anderson teaches all the basics that are carried on throughout the kids lives as they become an adult; and they remember."

Fall sunshine and a new place to play! ☀️🍂 Our friends at Bush Elementary School have been making the most of the beautiful weather while enjoying their new playground equipment!

Installed over the summer, the equipment was made possible through voter approval of the 2025–26 school budget and support from the Bush School PTA. Thank you to our community and PTA for helping create a space for our students to play, connect and have fun!

She always brings a positive attitude and so much kindness to everything she does. It is clear how passionate she is about her work and how much she genuinely loves her students.

She teaches with patience, compassion, and genuine belief in her students that is endlessly admirable - making every student feel capable, valued, and supported. She has helped countless colleagues become better and more confident educators, and she has an incredible ability to bring out the best in the people around her.
