This week is National Bus Safety week. This year the theme was "Driving Safely Into the Future." Each year we use this week to celebrate our wonderful crew of drivers and our whole transportation department. Students made posters and thank you cards and our drivers were treated to rolls from our friend Martee Murguia at Apron Strings along with a casserole, pumpkin bars and fruits. We are lucky to have such amazing people keeping our students safe. Thank you again!
