Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! We have great Bus Drivers and Monitors here at GKB and we couldn't be more thankful for everything they do. They not only drive different routes and trips, but their main goal is to get students safely to and from school. They are also sometimes the first and last GKB staff member that students see for the day.
If you see a Bus Driver or Monitor today, make sure to say thank you!

The trip is in Washington, D.C., and we need to raise funds to get them there! Among many other fundraisers, we have scheduled multiple Dine to Donate events around Garrett and Auburn. The first of these events is on Tuesday, April 9 at Culver's in Auburn, and the second will be on Monday, April 15 at Lalo's in Garrett.
