In October Adams 14 recognized the importance of bus drivers who are responsible for transporting District students to and from school safely each day. During National School Bus Safety Week (October 19-23), Adams 14 held a poster design contest, encouraging students to create images that communicate the importance of school bus safety.   

This year’s theme was “Avoid Harm, Obey the Stop Arm,” which means that when a school bus stops and flashes its lights or extends the red STOP sign, drivers should stop their vehicles and look for students crossing the street or getting on and off the bus.

Below are the student winners of the poster design contest. Several of the posters will be hung throughout Adams 14 schools for the community to enjoy.

Throughout National School Bus Safety Week, Adams 14 bus drivers educated students and parents about the importance of school bus safety by providing handouts and engaging bus riders in conversations about getting to and from school safely. This initiative was an integral part of Adams 14's commitment to helping students and families understand the importance of bus safety.
