Did you know that the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road? Less than 1% of all traffic fatalities involve children on school transportation vehicles. However, children are more at risk when approaching or leaving a school bus. It’s important for all drivers, as well as parents and students, to understand school bus safety. That's the focus of National School Bus Safety Week, an active and evolving public education program urging parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators, and other interested parties to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety.
Our culinary class went all out, spoiling our staff by making a delicious nacho meal with all the toppings to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Everything was so delicious! Thank you Ms. Claudio and students!
Thank you to the Kelly Family!
