Thanks to all of our bus drivers for continuously going above and beyond for our students. Two weeks ago, after we had a few inches of snow followed by a day of rain, one of our MN students fell as he went out to the bus. He was soaked through and through. His bus driver, Kim Frank, sent him back inside to change, ran her route and then came back to pick up the student. Same week, I had three students miss the bus and after dropping off his students at Metro North, Mr. Tom Garthee went and picked up those students that otherwise would have missed school due to no transportation. Our drivers are the first and last person our students see every day, and they pay close attention to details to ensure our students are home safe and sound.

Our Metro North Robotics team tied for second place at the Columbia Robotics Competition on Saturday. This team of ten third graders started in November with coaches that knew only slightly more than they did regarding robotics (we knew where the supplies were). These engineers continuously dream big and work hard, and we couldn’t be more proud of their problem solving, flexible thinking, patience and perseverance.
