School Bus Safety Workshop for rising Pk and Kg students. Check it out at Fairfield Library on July 23!

Riding a school bus for the first time can be exciting and intimidating. For all the rising Kindergartners out there who would like a little practice, attend one of our upcoming School Bus Safety Workshops. We'll practice getting on and off a school bus, learn about bus safety, and get a free box of crayons. Plus, a bus driver from Henrico County Public Schools’ Pupil Transportation department will be on hand to answer any questions you and your family might have. All children must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Happy Birthday, Arthur Ashe 🎈
