Jaclynn Reyes, a 4th grader at TES, was given a Positive Bus Office Referral from her driver, Andrea Putthoff. Miss Andrea writes, "Another student had 3 bags of food with her this morning. When the student got off the bus, one of her bags tore open. Jaclynn stopped to help the student and then carried 2 of the bags into the school for the student."
Masen Hernandez, a 5th grader at TES, was given a Positive Bus Office Referral from his driver, Pam Plake. Miss Pam writes, "When it was raining and the bus steps were slick, Masen stood at the top and assisted the younger students down the stairs so they would not fall. He is so awesome!"
TES is so proud of Jaclynn and Masen for being such kind and positive role models!
