Last week was designated as School Bus Safety week, but with everything going on, it seemed more appropriate to celebrate it this week, when we can really focus on our Bus Drivers and Transportation Department. A special thank you goes out to the Mission Valley USD #330 - Transportation Department for all of their hard work and dedication to transporting our Mission Valley students to and from school and to so many activities throughout the school year. Believe it or not, this is a difficult job and our bus drivers keep our students and staff safe every day. In addition, Bill Logan consistently scores in the Excellence category for keeping our buses in tip top shape and is willing to provide services 24 hours a day when needed. They are all very much appreciated! Please join us in thanking them when you get a chance.
