From the early morning pre-trip inspections to the final "see you tomorrow" at the last stop, our bus drivers are the unsung heroes of the school day. They are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the ones who ensure a safe ride home.
How can you participate?
💛 Say Thank You: A simple wave or a "have a great day" goes a long way.
💛 Write a Note: Have your student draw a picture or write a thank-you card for their driver.
💛 Safety First: Remind your kids about bus safety to make the driver's job a little easier.
Let’s give a huge shout-out to the wheels that keep our community moving. We love our First Student bus drivers! 🚌✨

A few weeks ago at our November 24th school board meeting, we had the opportunity to recognize a couple of exceptional young ladies. Tenino FFA Officers, Nevaeh Vazquez and Selena Sanchez-Romero took on a special project working closely with Thurston County Veterans Court. This specific program is aimed at supporting Veterans that are bravely navigating significant life challenges, many of which stem directly from their service to our country.
Students prepared backpacks filled with basic necessities, snacks, blankets, winter hats and gloves and personalized letters of appreciation, support, and encouragement.
On November 12th during the Veterans Day celebration held in District Court, Nevaeh and Selena, along with Mrs. Maxfield, presented the care packages to seven deserving veterans.
In a letter from Thurston County Commissioner, Wayne Fournier and District Court Presiding Judge, Brett Buckley:
"The professionalism, poise, and genuine compassion displayed by your students left a profound impact on every person in the courtroom, including veterans, staff, and officials."
Thank you to Nevaeh, Selena, Tenino FFA, and Mrs. Maxfield for leading with empathy and integrity!
