“School bus drivers play an important role in the safety and well-being of the 300,000 students they safely transport to and from school each day in our province.
“Alberta’s government recognizes that school bus drivers are a vital part of our school communities. For many students, the school day starts the moment they board the bus to go to school.
As soon as the buses started lining up at Upper St. Clair High School, a trio of student council members sprang into action.
Moving quickly from vehicle to big yellow vehicle, juniors Sarah Christensen, Molly Maher and Tori Slagle knocked politely on the front doors and were greeted by friendly drivers who were in for a big surprise.
âThank you!â the students said as they delivered bags full of baked goods and letters of gratitude to each of the good folks behind the wheel.
The occasion was School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and on the afternoon of Feb. 26, student council members in ninth through 12th grades were out in force to display a variety of well-wishing signs and banners. Even the schoolâs Panther mascot was on hand to help cheer on the drivers as they sampled the goodies delivered by Sarah, Molly and Tori.
