Break The Cycle: Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month
|
Did you know February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month? Relationships and abuse can be hard topics for parents and teachers to talk about with middle and high school students. But we know that open communication with adults can make a big difference for young people's relationships, and most teens wish they could talk more openly with their parents about dating. Don't know where to start the conversation? Consider participating in Break the Cycle's "It's Time to Talk" week by using the following prompts as a springboard for talking about healthy relationships:
- One-liners and firsts: Talk about first dates, first disagreements, and how to express setting boundaries.
- Share your seconds: Talk about communicating what you want on a second date, shifts from casual to committed relationships, and lingering disagreements.
- The Third Wheel: Supporting a friend around dating violence and balancing dating and friendships.

School Bus Driver Recognition Week: Feb. 13-17
|
The State of Wisconsin has declared the week between Monday, February 13 th and
Friday, February 17 th as School Bus Drivers Recognition Week. This week is highlighted
each year to recognize the commitment to safety excellence of over 15,000 Wisconsi
school bus drivers, who drive over 82 million miles each year and transport over 600,000
students on any given school day.
Kobussen Buses, LTD will be recognizing 43 drivers from their Baraboo terminal who
work with students from the Baraboo School District and Ryan Kimball, terminal
manager along with Kristi Voelker, Safety Director, Niki and Karla in Dispatch and Ren,
Technician for Kobussen's Baraboo office say, "We are planning a full week of activities
to celebrate the outstanding job that our drivers do each and every day at each of our 17
terminals." These activities will include such things as free lunch, door prizes and
recognition of perfect attendance. Kobussen continues, "With all of the day to day
activities that happen, it is easy to forget to thank them for all that (the driver's) do.
Setting aside this week helps us show a small amount of our appreciation."
"We hope that the public will join us in taking time to thank our drivers for all that they
do and to take a minute to pause and think about what we can all do to help our students
be safe.", says Dan Kobussen from Kobussen's main office in Kaukauna, WI. You may
wonder what you can do to help the safety of students of students who ride buses; Dan
Kobussen continues, "If other drivers would just slow down, give buses a little extra
space and be prepared to stop when the flashing red lights come on, that would help
everyone out."
