Our love for the Salt River Schools' buses and bus drivers is year-round! The American School Bus Council celebrates its annual #LovetheBus campaign every February and this year Salt River Schools took part to show our drivers how much we appreciate them and their commitment to student safety. Check out this video we did with Route 4 driver Jamie and her passengers! Please share and tell us what you love about the bus!

About 'Love the Bus'
Love the Bus began in 2007 and is held every February. It is a month-long celebration of the importance of the yellow school bus, with a particular focus on thanking school bus drivers for safely transporting 25 million children to and from school every day. Love the Bus events are held at schools, school bus facilities, and other locations across the country. The events raise awareness and appreciation for the experience of riding the bus to and from school, and recognize the diverse set of individuals whose daily efforts make the yellow school bus part of the fabric of American life.
