Bus Driver Appreciation Day
Bus Driver Appreciation Day
Monday May 3, 2021
In celebration of Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
THANK YOU for your dedication in ensuring
the safe transportation of our students.
Every day our bus operators safely steer 1000s of students to and from school. School bus drivers are tasked with one of the most important responsibilities in education - safely transporting our children to and from school.
School Bus Driver Appreciation Day is a well-deserved salute in the direction of all those men and women who dedicate their lives to helping children get to and from school safely every day, while staying patient, helpful and positive all throughout.
Let's thank them for going the distance and celebrate their commitment to student learning. Text or call your operator on Monday May 4th to thank them for what they do!

Their Challenge:
They had to figure out how each group of instruments created music: shake, scrape, strike, strum, blow, bow and pluck.
Although the students don’t get to hear the wind instruments played indoors during covid times, they were interested in seeing what it was like to hold them.
