🚌💛 We're celebrating Bus Driver Appreciation Day - April 28! 🚌
Every school day begins and ends with a friendly welcome from our incredible Sunnyvale ISD bus drivers! They are the first to greet students each morning and the last to wish them a great afternoon, all while keeping everyone safe on the road. Thank you to our SISD bus drivers for making SISD riders and families feel so welcome and safe.
SES welcomed our community’s first responders to campus today for lunch and a guided tour. SES student ambassadors led our guests through classrooms, hallways and common areas, highlighted by a spirited stop in the cafeteria where excited students said hello and shared high-fives. We are grateful for the partnership and daily service of our Sunnyvale and Mesquite first responders who help keep our Raiders safe! 💛💙
