February 2024 V.I.P.s - PISD Bus Drivers

February #VIP is our bus drivers!  Our bus drivers leave early and arrive home late every day. They make sure our students arrive and leave school safely. If it wasn't for them getting our students to school, we couldn't teach them. This tends to be a thankless job that we take for granted. Thank you for taking care of all of our students!
