Bus Safety

Last Wednesday and Thursday, the PTA Health and Safety Committee sponsored a Bus Safety Program for our kindergartners.

School bus driver Paula Conn came to give the children a tour of the inside and outside of her school bus.



Ms. Conn talked with the children about the safety zones and rules of riding the bus in a safe manner. She showed them the areas around the bus where she cannot see them.

Two classes toured at a time while the other two classes were inside with Nurse Laura and Tammy Hammitt, who showed them a video and led a discussion about Bus Safety.

The Health and Safety committee uses $25 of its budget to sponsor the Bus Safety program at the beginning of every school year since many our new kindergartners have never ridden a bus before.
