Celebrating Our Amazing Transportation Team! 💛🚌<\/strong><\/h3>\n
We had a wonderful time at our PBIS School Bus Driver Luncheon! We were excited to celebrate and show appreciation for the dedicated school bus drivers and transportation staff who help keep our students safe and supported each day.<\/p>\n
Pictured are members of our PBIS Team, some of our incredible school bus drivers, and MCSD transportation supervisors. We were also honored to have Mr. Godfrey Jackson, MCSD Transportation Director, along with members of the district transportation supervisory team, join us for this special occasion.<\/p>\n
Thank you to our transportation team for your commitment, hard work, and the important role you play in helping our students have a successful school day. We appreciate all that you do for DEMA and our students! 🚌⭐💙<\/p>\n
