The USD 379 Bus Barn initiated a bus behavior campaign this year. Each driver nominates a regular rider who exemplifies good behavior and shows respect for both the driver and the other passengers. All nominees were put in a hat, and one name was drawn as April's winner. That student is Madoline from Garfield! Her driver is Dolan Rosenow. Madoline received gift certificates donated by Ray's Apple Market and Tasty Pastry. #celebrate379
Last week, Garfield Para Ashlee Baker-Brown stopped in to Mrs. Christa's Pre-K classroom to share her passion for pants and botany. She shared about some of her own plants, plant life, plant health, propagation, and how plants help provide us with clean air! #celebrate379
USD 379 transportation routes will be 10 to 15 minutes behind today (April 25th) . We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for your patience.
