EDITORIAL NOTE:
This is just a reminder to all that School is starting Monday! That means we need to pay attention to the roads, watch for children, and don't pass a School Bus with their blinking lights on!
We've had 6-months of open roads, but they are going to be filled with anxious parents, children, and drivers! Be Careful and Safe!
Good luck to all the kids, parents, teachers, and school employees.
