Alumni Information & News
Alumni are encouraged to support Bullis at this year's gala by participating in RAISE THE PADDLE 2010
This year’s “Raise the Paddle” event targets two exciting campus improvements:
- Dining Hall Improvements: A professionally designed palette of enhancements will make our dining hall more attractive, distinctive and inviting and will help build school spirit. Improvements being considered include window treatments, new wall colors, large scale art work, banners and other upgrades that will enhance the dining hall experience.
- Alumni Gallery: The gallery space between the library foyer and the technology center will be transformed into an innovative exhibition space that brings Bullis’s 80-year history alive for students and visitors. A collection of large, wall-mounted displays will present a collection of images and text from each era of Bullis’s history since 1930, woven together to tell the Bullis story in a compelling, accessible manner, and deepen appreciation for the students, teachers and others who have contributed to building today's Bullis.
