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
