Bus Driver Appreciation Day was during Winter Break. We wanted our drivers to know how much we appreciate them for taking great care of our students and getting them to school safely. We would also like to thank Mr. Doug for all he does from driving when needed and for all of the work he does on a daily basis to ensure our buses are ready for the road.
