Thursday February 22nd was School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! We are grateful for each and every driver, monitor, and employee in our Transportation Department!! Thank you for for supporting our students each and every day!!
Show your appreciation for hardworking school bus drivers this School Bus Drivers' Day - it's the perfect opportunity to say 'thank you'!
Celebrate School Bus Drivers' Day and recognize all of the hardworking and dedicated professionals who safely transport our children day in and day out. Established in 1981, this special day is a way to show appreciation for the drivers who make sure kids get to school safely and on time. The role of a bus driver is often overlooked, but without them our schools would not be able to function properly. So let's give thanks for these unsung heroes who dedicate their time and energy to getting our kids where they need to go!

Isaiah Frias: “Isaiah is not only an exceptional student but also an individual who demonstrates great empathy towards his peers and the community at large. Throughout his time in my classroom, Isaiah consistently showed a genuine concern for others, always willing to go out of his way to support and assist his classmates. His ability to truly understand and connect with the emotions and experiences of those around him sets Isaiah apart as a remarkable individual. Isaiah is ALWAYS gentle and understanding.”

Evangeline Manning: “Evie is that student who is always doing the right thing, but more importantly, she is her classmates' keeper. She is a nurturer and is always paying attention to those around her. If someone is having a bad day, she is there to lift up their spirits. Everyone likes her because she treats everyone kind. She is a good listener when her peers speak and always displays a genuine concern if anyone gets hurt or having a stressful moment. She has shown this consistent behavior all year and that is why I feel she deserves this recognition.”
