If you see your bus driver, make a point this School Bus Safety Week to say thank you for the wonderful job they do. Just like it is the bus driver’s responsibility to safely transport the children to and from school, it is the parent or guardian’s responsibility to make sure their children get safely to and from the bus stop, wear their mask and don’t go to school if they are sick.

We want to take this opportunity to recognize and thank our businesses for the strength and Success resilience they have demonstrated. It takes a strong person to be a small business owner and that strength has never been more evident than it is this year.

We would like to say thank you Take a drive down the main street of any of our communities and you will be reminded that if it was not for small business there would be no need for a Main Street.
