🚌🌅 Dark Mornings. Bright Reminders. Student Safety First! 💛

As the mornings get darker, it’s important for everyone to stay alert and watch for students waiting for and boarding school buses before daylight.

Every child deserves to arrive at school safely. Let’s work together to protect our students—especially during those early morning hours when visibility is limited.

💛 Slow down. Stay alert. Help keep our students safe! #SchoolBusSafety
