🚍 Preschool Bus Safety Day! 🚌

Our preschool students had a special adventure today—they got to ride the school bus and learn all about bus safety from our amazing driver, Donald McNeel!

From safe loading and unloading to how to sit on the bus safely, Mr. McNeel made learning fun and memorable. We are fortunate to have caring individuals like him who help teach our children important life skills.

Thank you, Mr. McNeel, for keeping our kids safe and helping them feel confident on the bus! 💛
