School Bus Safety Week

Yes, it is School Bus Safety Week!!! Yikes, there has been alot going on this week ---- yes, I know School Bus Safety Week is almost over ---- sorry! Well, this year's theme is "Cross in View, It's the Right Thing to Do!" Okay, so to make up for the fact that this posting is sooo late, how about thinking of getting your kids ready to come up with a poster? Yes, this year's poster contest was suppose to be submitted by the third week in October for consideration for the poster for 2011, however, now you can get a jump start on the poster for 2012 --- well you can get started as soon as you check out the National Association Pupil Transportation site at https://naptonline.org for lots of neat stuff including, yes you have guessed it ---- free resources on bus safety and info on the poster contest. So this winter when the kids have to stay indoors on bad weather days ---- start those posters! Get out those crayons, markers, color pencils, paints --- okay, you get the idea now all you have to do is wait for the theme for 2012! The wheels on bus go round and round --- everybody sing...
