Today, we want to give a very special THANK YOU to our incredible bus staff! 🚌🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾

Every single day, you are the first smile many students see in the morning and the last friendly face they see before heading home. Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons — you safely transport our students with care, patience, and kindness, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

We loved being able to treat our amazing bus staff to yogurt parfaits and muffins during your meeting this week as a small token of appreciation for the HUGE impact you make each day.

Thank you for the early mornings, the safe rides, the warm greetings, and the dedication you show to our students and families. Our school community appreciates you more than words can say! 🚌✨♥️🐾♥️🐾
