On Wednesday, March 18, a group of 15 Bullis teachers and administrators will travel to China.
Our purpose is two-fold:
- First, as educators, we will have the opportunity to visit six cities, see many incredible historical sites, sample unique local cuisine, visit a local school and come face-to-face with pandas.
- Second, we will meet with many Bullis families, past, present and future. Prospective families will have the opportunity to learn more about our school and we will interview student candidates.
