On Wednesday, June 10th, bus drivers for the Gales Ferry and Juliet W. Long Schools were honored at a breakfast put on by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) during Bus Driver Appreciation Week. Students made thank you signs and cards that hung outside the school for the entire week.

One bus driver, Carolyn Farnum, who is retiring this year after 30 years of service, was recognized at the breakfast. She watched many students as they grew up and gained many experiences and memories. “I will miss them all. I already miss them,” Carolyn expressed. The rest of the bus drivers look forwards to another school year starting in the fall.
