Our students put their creativity to work with original “Snowmen on Valentine’s Day” stories inspired by the Snowmen at Night series by Caralyn Buehner! ❄️❤️

Students explored the full writing process — brainstorming ideas, drafting their stories, peer editing, revising, and illustrating their final published pieces. We are so proud of their imagination, collaboration, and hard work bringing these snowy stories to life!

💛 Love the Bus Month: Shoutout to Our Bus Aides

Bus aides play a huge role in keeping our buses safe, calm, and welcoming. They help students follow safety rules, offer support when it’s needed, and build positive relationships with our riders.

Thank you for your patience, awareness, and care—your presence makes a difference on every route, every day.

👉 Students and families: let a bus aide know how much you appreciate them!
