Thanks to Michelle Paden for coming in to talk with some of our students about Distracted Driving!

Please take time to recognize and thank our bus drivers for Bus Driver Appreciation Day. They play a huge role in the success and safety of our students each and every day, often starting before sunrise and ending long after the final bell. Their dedication does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate all they do for our school community.
