Saturday was Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we can’t say enough about how much we appreciate the folks who get our kids to and from school safely every day.
On Friday, the Elementary students spent their Castle Time making tie blankets and cards as a small way to say thank you for all they do. They even made one for Miss Gilbertson, who not only fills in on buses but also wears so many hats in our school!
We’re so lucky to have such dedicated, caring drivers at Drake & Anamoose Schools—you’re truly the best!🚌🖤🤍🩶
FFA traveled to Beulah today. It was the first time completing for several students today and was a great learning experience! The FFA program continues to grow. 🥰
