Celebrating Our Heroes Behind the Wheel!!!
It is National School Bus Safety and Bus Driver Appreciation Week!
A huge thank you to all our school bus drivers, van drivers, and transportation staff who work tirelessly to ensure our students arrive at school safely, comfortably, and ready to learn!

Safety Reminder: Remember to obey stopping laws around school buses- flashing red lights mean STOP in both directions on undivided roads! Let's keep our students safe!!
