Join Georgia Commute Schools as we celebrate National School Bus Safety Week, October 17 – 21, 2022. This year’s theme is “1 Bus + 1 Driver = a BIG Impact on Education,” reminding parents, students, teachers, and motorists that we all play an essential role in ensuring the school buses make it to their destinations safely each day. To celebrate, the GCS team plans to offer a week of activities to get students involved:

Monday: Read books about school buses, then brainstorm bus safety rules.
Tuesday: Create posters illustrating the theme: 1 Bus + 1 Driver = a BIG Impact on Education.
Wednesday: Write a story, song, or poem about bus safety.
Thursday: Create an educational 1–2-minute video about bus safety.
Friday: Write thank-you notes to the bus drivers for keeping you safe

Please sign up, if your school is planning on participating in NSBSW!
