🫶 We are deeply appreciative of every individual who helps ensure the safety of our children during their daily commutes to and from school.
🎒 Please help keep our children SAFE by following these helpful school bus safety tips:
🟡 Yellow lights, slow down: Yellow lights on a school bus indicate the bus is preparing to stop. If you're driving, slow down, stay alert, and watch out for children.
🛑 Stop for the stop-arm: When you see the school bus stop-arm extended, it's time to stop. Racing past the arm puts young lives in jeopardy.
🚗 Slow down during school hours: School is in session, which means more children are outside waiting for the bus during certain hours. Slow down and watch for children playing and gathering near the bus stop.
🚸 Bus stop safety tips for children:
• Arrive at the bus stop 5 minutes early.
• Stand 5 giant steps away from the curb.
• Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it's okay before stepping onto the bus.
• Make sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver.
🚌 School Bus Drivers
• Stay alert, stay engaged: The greatest risk to a child isn't riding a school bus, but approaching or leaving one. Please continue to help keep them safe! We appreciate you!

🩺 This honor was earned by creating a strong athletic health care system. This includes providing physical exams before participation, ensuring safe practice areas, and keeping athletic equipment in good condition. The school also has a specific place for checking and treating injuries, works on ways to prevent injuries, helps with injury care, and develops emergency plans for each venue. Additionally, athletes and parents are educated about the benefits and risks of sports.
❤️ We want to express our heartfelt thanks to Melissa (MJ) Johnston, LAT, FMT, ITAT, our Athletic Trainer from ThedaCare Medical Center, who dedicates countless hours to ensuring our student athletes' safety. We are also very grateful for the funding for this award, generously provided by ThedaCare Orthopedics.
