Each February, schools celebrate the iconic yellow school bus that transports students to and from school each day. Love the Bus Month aims to emphasize the importance of school buses and how they are integrated into the educational journey of students.
“The yellow school bus is more than just a mode of transportation; it is a symbol of community, safety, and opportunity,” President of the National Association for Pupil Transportation, Teena Mitchell, said.
Beyond providing transportation, school buses help reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions compared to individual car trips, and create a sense of routine for students. Love the Bus Month also serves as an opportunity to show appreciation for the dedicated bus drivers, mechanics, and transportation staff who work tirelessly to ensure students arrive at school safely and on time.
Hempstead ISD is grateful for our Hempstead ISD Transportation Department including our bus drivers, bus aides, and mechanics.
