District Celebrates ‘Love the Bus’

Disponible en:

The month-long event celebrates the importance of school transportation.

Launched in 2007, Love the Bus is an annual month-long celebration held each February. The event highlights the critical role of the yellow school bus in education.

It takes a village to raise or teach a child. It can also take a small army of bus drivers, mechanics, and many individuals that work in our Transportation Department. They ensure busses are running and are safely transporting our students to and from school every day.

The Transportation Department is comprised of:

• Bus drivers
• Parts/Mechanics
• Dispatch
• Routers
• Bus Aides
• Bus Driver Trainers
• Bus Camera and Fleet Technicians
• Office Staff
• Transportation Daycare
• Administration

School busses have also had an impact on our community. In recent years, the Houston area has seen high water during torrential downpours, hurricanes, and tropical storms. It is not unusual to see our busses in areas of need evacuating flood victims.

Bus drivers are another pair of eyes in our neighborhoods and have come to a student’s aide more than once.

These individuals are also trained in providing first aid like CPR should the need arise.

Please take this opportunity to show appreciation for the school bus and the many outstanding individuals that make it happen every day for our students and their families. Be sure to share on social media using the hashtags #LoveTheBus and #WeAreAldine.
