We'd be totally "NUTS" without our fabulous Transportation Department. Thanks, Flagstaff Foods, for helping us show how "NUTS" we are about our drivers for Bus Driver Appreciation Day.

Congratulations to Andre Martin for being recognized as Employee of the Month for May. Andre drives bus 16 for Kelly Springs, D6, and DPA.

🚌🛑 Promoting school bus safety is a key aspect of Dr. Hall's mission, and we have made progress in this area by conducting two new rider sessions with Kiddie Garden and Southeast Health Child Development Center, as well as participating in their Touch a Truck event, where we identified potential new drivers. However, we believe they have to wait awhile.

We are pleased to extend our congratulations to Linda Stokes, who has been selected as Employee of the Month for April. Ms. Linda is the driver of bus 26 for Girard, D6, and DPA. Her colleagues have noted that she is a diligent worker, possesses a great personality, and is a pleasure to be around.
