Today is SCHOOL BUS DRIVER APPRECIATION DAY! Today, we pause to recognize and celebrate a group of people who are absolutely essential to the heart of Watkins Glen Central School District — our School Bus Drivers. Long before the first bell rings and long after the last student heads home, our drivers are out on the roads, ensuring that every child gets to and from school safely. They brave rain, snow, fog, and traffic with calm, steady hands and compassionate hearts. We truly could not do what we do without them. Our School Bus Drivers do so much more than drive. They are the first smiling faces our students see each morning and the last warm presence they see each afternoon. They are careful observers who notice when a child is upset or needs support. They keep our students safe with every turn of the wheel and every stop of the bus. They learn every name, every route, and every need. They represent patience, responsibility, and care. They are critical to field trips, sports events, and every school memory that happens beyond the classroom. They are part of our team, part of our community, and part of our students’ lives. To our drivers — thank you. Your hard work, dedication, and kindness do not go unnoticed. You are appreciated by all of us in the Watkins Glen Central School District. Our School Bus Drivers make us #WGProud.
