Bus Driver Appreciation Day - October 22, 2008

Wednesday, October 22nd has been designated as Bus Driver Recognition Day to honor the thousands of men and women that work tirelessly through hot and cold, rain and snow and day and night to transport children safely to and from school. At Center Cass we salute our faithful and reliable school bus drivers who never let us down. This would be a great time to write a note to your child's driver thanking them for the safe ride your children enjoy everyday. Congratulations to our fine District 66 Transportation Department (name and employment year); Twanna Anderson (2007), John Cesal (2004), Toni DePisa (2001), Noreen Dvorak (2002), Paul Jonauskas (2006), Jim Gismondi (2001), Jim Hagan (2005), Jim Mathiasch (2004), Art Mueller (2004), Zach Munoz (2003), Kate Nikiel (1997), Pat Romaniszak (1991), Walt Sangaila (1996), Manny Staiger (2008) and Tom Tiede (2001).

These are the people that make it possible for school to start on time each day regardless of the weather or road conditions. They are true professionals! We will be celebrating Bus Driver Recognition Day with a breakfast in their honor next week. Please let them know you appreciate their efforts.
