Bus Buddies
Posted by Vicki Rowe
Our club will be participating in the Bus Buddies volunteer program through Partners in Education when school starts. Mike Hoke handed out material about the training sessions which will take place next week.
In order to participate, you must go for one hour on either Aug. 17 (9;30 - 10:30 a. m.), Aug. 18 (7:30 - 8:30 a. m.) or Aug. 19 (6:30 - 7:30 p. m.) You will then ride on an elementary school bus on the first day of school in the afternoon from 2:45 to 4:45 to assist young students in getting off at the correct stop. If you want to do so, you can also ride again the next day and the day after. The program lasts for the first three days until the students are comfortable with the bus route. This program was presented to our club by Pam Scott of the Partners in Education Volunteer Program.
If you would like to participate in this project, the training sessions take place at the Berry Center on Barker Cypress Rd. If you need more information about the program, see web address: http://cfisd.net/dept2/pie/busbuddies.htm.
