We had a wonderful Bus Safety Week in October with our K-2 classes. Students from classes that we shared a story with also had an opportunity to submit a colored page from the bus safety activity book we left with each class. It was so hard for the drivers to choose from the many pages we received, but we are sharing one from each grade that we've selected to be our Bus Safety Winners (Mrs Garmin, Mrs Rynard and Mrs Zeitler classrooms). Thank you to all who colored pages, we have had them in our breakroom for all to enjoy!
