Driving a school bus isn't always easy, but according to Mr. Burr Battle, bus driver at Grantswood Community School, "the good far outweighs the bad."
"There’s also nothing like seeing that genuine happy smile from your kids when they see you on the bus," Mr. Battle said.
And it's not just the students on his route he's connected with.
“When you enter the school, children that don’t ride your bus are waving and calling your name,” Mr. Battle said. “They run up to you and hug you because you’re Mr. Battle the Red Bus Driver. I love being that positive male role model for kids.”
We appreciate Mr. Battle and his fellow drivers, who always go above and beyond to support our students.
