Day 2 of Bus Safety Week! 👋 Getting on and off the bus safely is everyone’s job!
- Wait for your driver’s signal
- Take five steps back after getting off
- Take 10 giant steps in front of the bus, and look both ways before you cross
- Tell the driver if you drop something anywhere near the bus
- Never crawl or play under or around the bus
Families, please talk with your kids tonight about safe ways to get on and off the bus. It only takes a few minutes and helps everyone stay safe! #larnedpride #bettertogether

Ms. Korinek's class have been busy learning songs and about Humpty Dumpty. Today they sang to the office about hiccups. They also did an experiment to see if Humpty Dumpty could survive falling off the wall in various packing. They were amazed he survived in all 4 materials they chose.
