Also, during safety week a group of bus drivers went to all three elementary buildings to put on a school bus safety play. Please ask your students what they learned from the play. I'll bet they say they Marsha, Jeff, and Miss Smarty Pants taught them how to sit on their pockets, use inside voices, and keep their hands to themselves. Thank you to Sharon Sikkenga, Cheryl Buter, Shirley DeYoung, Nancy Walker, and Chelly Brown for putting this play together and informing our students about school bus safety.

Students have also been asked to help us name our safety bus. Stay tuned to find out the name..........

Our bus has a name.....it is G.U.S the Safety Bus. G.U.S. stands for Give Us Safety. Mickey Hancock a 2nd grade student from Edgewood Elementary named the safety bus. Congratulations to Mickey.
