Today is the day to recognize your school bus drivers’ tremendous commitment to safely transporting students daily to and from school and to and from a variety of school-related activities and trips throughout the school year.
Driving students where they need to go is not the only thing bus drivers do; they form supportive connections with their passengers and create a positive space on their buses, often becoming role models for students and a voice of welcome to families in the community.
Thank you to SD8 bus drivers for all that you do!
