February 11-15, 2013, has been proclaimed “School Bus Driver Appreciation Week” by North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory. School communities and citizens are urged to support the American School Bus Council’s Love the Bus program. According to the proclamation, more than 13,000 school buses carry more than 790,000 students to and from school every day across North Carolina.
State Superintendent June Atkinson will ride the bus to Ellenboro Elementary School (813 Piney Mountain Church Road, Ellenboro) with students on February 14, 2013, and take part in a morning program to thank school bus drivers.
