Students and staff at Upper St. Clair High School showed just how much they appreciate their bus drivers in honor of National School Bus Driver Appreciation Day.
“I hope that this brightens the bus drivers' days and serves as a reminder of the appreciation that we have for them,” Kathleen Gianni, a junior and member of Student Council, said. “After everything that the bus drivers do for us, the least we can do is show our thanks and, hopefully, put a smile on their face.”
The show of support on Friday (Feb. 26) was organized by the student council and as school was dismissed for the day, students and staff gathered outside with large signs to celebrate their drivers. Each driver received about 20 letters as well as baked goods.
“Student council recognizes that there are a multitude of people that work extremely hard to help keep our school functioning,” Tori Slagle, a junior and member of Student Council, said. “We appreciate all their hard work, and we felt it was finally the time we showed them.”
