As part of the fifth annual National Love the Bus program this February, parents, students and teachers are celebrating the men and women from the West Plains R-VII School district that take more than 1,200 students safely to school each day. The Love the Bus program, founded in 2007 and coordinated by the American School Bus Council (ASBC), is celebrated on Valentine's Day and throughout February in school districts across the country as a way to raise awareness and appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of school bus drivers who safely transport more than 26 million school children to and from school each day. It is also an opportunity for parents and children to learn more about the safety and environmental benefits of school bus transportation.
To help celebrate Love the Bus each bus driver will be presented with a certificate and a carnation on February 14th. Parents, teachers and children are also encouraged to visit the program's Web site, www.LoveTheBus.com, to share stories about their favorite bus drivers, and make interactive valentines to email or print and give to their bus driver on Valentine's Day.
