It’s Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌 We know February was Love the Bus Month, but let's be honest… we couldn’t do what we do without our incredible bus drivers every single day of the year! This is just a small glimpse of the phenomenal team who gets our students to and from school safely, with a smile, and often in rain, snow, or shine. Their early mornings and dedication don’t go unnoticed — they are the first friendly face many of our students see each day, and they make a huge difference. So tomorrow, if you see one of our buses on the road, be sure to give them a honk, a wave, and a warm smile — let’s show our appreciation loud and proud! 💛 Thank you, drivers — we’re grateful for you! 💛 #PantherNation
