During School Bus Driver Appreciation Week (October 20-24), the district recognized the important work that bus drivers, bus aides, mechanics, dispatchers, crossing guards, and support staff do every day. Transportation staff shared meals together–including hamburgers and hotdogs cooked by Superintendent Entwistle and School Board Member Adrian Dowling, and a spread donated from Moe’s Original BBQ. Students also created cards and posters for transportation staff.
