Today we celebrate our incredible bus drivers here at Vandercook Lake! 🚌❤️🤍
Every day, our drivers are the first friendly face many students see in the morning and the last one they see before heading home. They safely transport our students in all kinds of weather, build positive relationships, and play an important role in each child's school day.
Thank you for your dedication, patience, and commitment to keeping our students safe. We truly appreciate everything you do for our schools and community.
If you see one of our drivers today, take a moment to say THANK YOU👏🏻
