School Bus Drivers Wish: Drivers -Winter Weather Driving Conditions Means Time for Changes!
School bus drivers do the best they can to keep their young charges safe on the way to and from school. When other drivers on the road adjust their driving to the conditions too, we can have fewer children injured or killed. Please:
- Slow Down -the roads are slippery.
- Leave space ahead of your vehicle.
- Make sure tires are properly inflated for maximum traction.
- Clear the snow storm off your car, so everyone can see.

What gifts would you recommend for school bus drivers?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so many wonderful ideas for bus drivers. Love the patterns you have included and can't wait to try them out.
ReplyDeleteWhich patterns do you like best? I'm rather partial to the sock monkey cup cozy.
DeleteThese gift ideas for the bus driver are simply perfect and I know they would be cherished.Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBus drivers really deserve kudos for delivering our children safely to school. I was delighted to find the school bus charm. It would make a great group gift from all the children on a bus, or even from a school at a bus driver's retirement.
DeleteDo you think they'd prefer the white gold as shown or the yellow gold?
I like the coffee warmers. They are nice.
ReplyDeleteYes the sock monkey coffee warmer seems especially fitting as a gift from a little monkey :)
