Gravette children study school bus safety

— As a part of National School Bus Safety Week, October 18 - 22, teachers and building principals are engaging students in an art contest in kindergarten through fifth grades, said Richard Carver, Gravette Schools Transportation Director.

The Farm Bureau will present a school bus safety program for students in Glenn Duffy Elementary and an evacuation drill is scheduled for all bus riders.

“The district is very fortunate to have a team of drivers and a transportation staff who are dedicated to the safe transportation of students,” Carver said.

Students are shown boarding their bus in this photo submitted by Carver. The bus driver is Julie Evans.
