As part of the new USD 379 PartnerEd grant, Double L Manufacturing owner Thomas Mulligan has spent the past two days with Mr. Craig's welding students. It's not just about teaching technique and tricks of the trade. The group is working together to build a 16x8' billboard that will be used to promote Clay Counts Coalition activities and prevention information. This billboard should be up soon, thanks to the hard work of Mr. Mulligan, Mr. Craig, and these students!

Today, on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, we celebrate the incredible school bus drivers of USD 379!
Every day, they are the first smile our students see in the morning and the last friendly face before they head home. They do so much more than drive a route—they create a safe, welcoming space where students feel seen, supported, and cared for.
What do you appreciate most about your child's bus driver? Include their name and reason in your response as a thank you for everything they do for our kids! #Celebrate379
