Today is Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we’re throwing open the doors to say THANK YOU to the incredible men and women who safely transport our students each and every day! From early morning pickups to late evening drop-offs, our bus drivers are often the first and last school staff members our students see each day—and they show up with patience, kindness, and dedication that doesn’t go unnoticed. Whether it’s braving rainy mornings, icy roads, or energetic passengers, they do it all with a smile and a heart for kids. Let’s show our appreciation in the comments—drop a “thank you” to your favorite driver below! Thank you, Cross County bus drivers, for being an essential part of our students’ day and helping us educate the whole child—safely and consistently!

💰 Our 2nd graders had some special guests yesterday! Ladies from First Financial Bank stopped by to talk with our students about the value of money and how to start a savings account. From needs vs. wants to the importance of saving for the future, they made learning about money fun and easy to understand! Thank you, First Financial Bank, for investing in our students and helping them build smart habits early! 🏦👏
