School Bus Drivers 🚌: The greatest risk to a child isn’t riding a school bus, but approaching or leaving one. Stay alert. Stay engaged. Keep them safe. #OneNelson #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek2024

October 21 - 25, 2024 is National School Bus Safety Week. Each day this week, there will be a post that addresses an aspect of School Bus Safety. Today's tip: School safety starts at the bus stop. 🚌 🛑 Share these tips with your children: ⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early. 🚏 Stand 10 feet or five giant steps away from the curb. 🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus. 👁️ Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nKnIyUFdVJK77RFv5rRFAEiWSS1hDAap/view?usp=sharing

National School Lunch Week ( "Find Your Treasure") is Oct. 14-18. Pres. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. #OneNelson #NSLW24
