Today, we’re taking a moment to send a HUGE thank you to all of our incredible bus drivers!
From the early mornings to the late afternoons, rain or shine, you're there—greeting everyone with a smile, keeping things safe, and making sure we all get where we need to go. Your patience, kindness, and dedication don’t go unnoticed.
You do so much more than just drive a bus—you create a safe space, start the day with a friendly face, and often go above and beyond to care for your riders.
So today, and every day, we THANK YOU!

Yesterday the 8th graders attended the Welcome to the Real World program at the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Jacksonville. This program is provided by University of Illinois Extension Unit 15. Students went through a simulation where they chose a career and were given a base salary for one month. Using this salary, they paid their bills for the entire month. They do a similar unit in Mrs. Lindsey's Business class when they also learn basic banking functions including writing a check, balancing their checkbook and much more.
