This is a great opportunity for your child to practice writing (with your help) and celebrate our bus drivers.
Children can honor unsung heroes and win laptop computer in annual “Driver of the Year” essay contest.
School bus drivers take seriously their charge to deliver their passengers to and from school safely and on time, but many of them literally go the extra mile. Thomas Built Buses asks: Do you know drivers who are making a difference?
Does your driver put in extra effort to make you feel secure on the bus? Or nurture a spirit of giving by helping organize food, toy and book drives? Does he/she know your name or start each day with a friendly greeting?Students in kindergarten through sixth grade are now invited to submit essays of at least 90 words to nominate their favorite school bus drivers. Through words and pictures, students can describe just what makes theirs school bus drivers so special. The child who nominates the grand prize winner will receive a laptop computer and $1,000 educational savings bond, and the nominated driver will receive a $1,000 Visa gift card.
