School Bus Safety:
School bus safety involves a combination of responsible behavior by students, well-trained drivers, and proper vehicle maintenance. Parents, schools, and communities all play a role in ensuring the safety of students during their school bus commute. It's crucial to continually reinforce and educate students about these safety measures to minimize risks and create a secure environment.
Bus Safety Week:
Here are a few tips for all students to remain safe on the bus:
Tip 1: Wait your turn and use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus.
Tip 2: Be respectful to your bus driver. They are responsible for your safety.
Tip 3: Stay seated and facing forward while the bus is in motion. No horsing around.
Tip 4: Listen to your bus driver's instructions in an emergency. Know the emergency exits.
Remember, bus safety isn't just the driver's responsibility; it's everyone's duty.

Please listen to this reminder of MO Law for stopping for a school bus.

Today, he dropped by our third-grade class to read "Duck for President” which is not just a funny farmyard tale; it's also a fantastic way to boost vocabulary. The kids were all ears, and their faces lit up with every word.

See You at the Pole 2023 was an incredible experience!
It was inspiring to see some of our fourth graders lead this event in prayer.
Our little eagles explored the world of fine motor skills in preschool. They threaded colorful cereal onto yarn to create beautiful necklaces. It's a fun way to improve hand-eye coordination and creativity while making their own jewelry masterpieces. It’s as tasty as it is educational!
