Simple Ways to Show You Care!
March 18 marks National Bus Driver Appreciation Day – a day to celebrate the thousands of people who make our lives easier every day! As society evolves, bus drivers remain an essential part of our daily lives, and we owe it to them to recognize their hard work. They’re the unsung heroes, who brave traffic and always make sure our kids get to school safely and on time.
By taking this time to appreciate bus drivers, we can show our appreciation for their valuable contribution and remind everyone that their jobs are important. So let’s take this time to thank bus drivers for all the work they do for us! Below are some simple ways you can appreciate school bus drivers and make their job a little easier:
1) Be On Time
Nothing is more frustrating than having to wait at the bus stop for kids (or parents!) who show up late. Make sure your school bus driver knows they can rely on you to get your kids to the bus stop on time.
2) Communication Is Key
It may be easy to forget that school bus drivers are part of the school community. If you need to get in touch with them, make sure to use their preferred method. This could be via email or even a quick phone call. Whether you’re a parent or a teacher, it’s important to communicate any important information regarding the students to the driver in charge of their transport.
3) Show Gratitude With a Gift
One thoughtful idea is to send a card or small gift at the end of the school year or when school holidays come around. Whether it’s a box of chocolates or a handwritten thank you note, school bus drivers will really appreciate the gesture!
4) A Simple Thank You
Finally, don’t forget to say ‘thank you’. A simple compliment or word of thanks goes a long way and helps show school bus drivers that they are appreciated and respected.
