🚌💛 Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 💛🚌
Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes of our school day—our amazing bus drivers! From early mornings to late afternoons, rain or shine, they safely transport our students with care, patience, and a friendly smile.
Your dedication and commitment do not go unnoticed. You are the first and last friendly face many of our students see each day—and that matters more than words can say.
Thank you for everything you do to keep our Bullpups and Bulldawgs rolling!
