School System Celebrates Bus Drivers

Fayette County Public Schools will show their appreciation for all bus drivers this month by hosting a special lunch in their honor.  School System Celebrates Bus Drivers

School bus transportation plays a critical role in students’ education, as bus drivers are responsible for transporting children from the neighborhood to the classroom each day.

To show the school system’s appreciation, Fayette County’s Transportation Department will host a pizza lunch for all bus drivers on Wednesday, October 24.

Although there is a national day of recognition each year for school bus drivers, schools often show their appreciation all year long by presenting their drivers with gifts and accolades. Roxane Owen, director of transportation, says, “Some schools honor their [bus] drivers everyday.”

On this day and every day, the school system encourages its students, parents, staff and Fayette County community take the time to say “thank you” to all the bus drivers for their hard work and dedication.
