National School Bus Safety Week is October 19–23!
As our buses head out this week, let's all work together to keep Michigan’s students safe on their way to and from school!
Here’s a quick refresher for when you're following or approaching a school bus:
🟡 Yellow overhead lights flashing? Slow down and prepare to stop.
🔴 Red overhead lights flashing? Stop and wait! Students are entering or exiting the bus.
Remember: When the REDS are flashing, there’s no passing! Taking just a few seconds to be patient could save a child's life.
Check out MAPT’s School Bus Safety PSA featuring former Detroit Lions player Lomas Brown at www.mapt.org!
For more safety tips, resources, and campaign details, visit Michigan.gov/SchoolBusSafety.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our children safe!
With JV Football and Soccer Districts hosted at home TONIGHT, we are still critically short on concession workers.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has already stepped up and worked multiple times this fall! As a reminder, the Athletic Boosters rely on every family covering just 1 shift per sport played each season. It takes all of us working together to make gamedays great for our athletes—that’s how we EARN IT as a community!
We only have a few weeks left in the fall season, and we still need helpers to finish strong:
🏈 Monday, Oct 19 (Tonight): 2 Volunteers needed (JV Football)
🏐 Thursday, Oct 22: 3 Volunteers needed (Volleyball)
🏈 Monday, Oct 26: 3 Volunteers needed (JV Football)
If you haven't worked your shift yet, please grab a spot today!
