Safety on the Bus Program

pastedImageA bus Safety Program is presented to all kindergarten and grade 4 classes within SD No. 83 schools in the fall.  This is to introduce our elementary riders to the rules of riding a school bus safely.  The students really enjoy interacting with ‘Buster’ (remote control bus) as he demonstrates the School Bus Safety Rules.
