Celebrating National School Bus Safety Week
Thank you, LTISD, School Bus Drivers & Aides!
The LTISD Transportation Department conducted school bus safety sessions Monday morning, October 21, at West Cypress Hills Elementary. Thanks to our LTISD Transportation team Our Tigers are now better prepared to face and execute a safe exit from school buses in the event that an emergency situation should ever arise.
Our LTISD Tigers also took this opportunity to show our appreciation to our bus drivers and aides for keeping our Tigers safe each and every day. To our fabulous WCHE bus drivers and aide our Tigers say:
"Happy National School Bus Safety Week! Thank you for taking good care of us!"
Tigers demonstrating PAWSitive behavior are nominated to have their names added to our WOW Board. WOW Board members are then eligible to win a fun brag tag and Buddy Pass. The Buddy Pass entitles each WOW Board member to enjoy lunch on the stage with a buddy of his/her choice.
This photo is of our WOW Board #3 Members. Congratulations, Tigers!
Thank you, Ms. Deans, for organizing a
great day of learning in our
