🚌 Happy Love the Bus Month, Pocahontas County! 💛

February is nationally recognized as Love the Bus Month, a time to celebrate the yellow school bus and the incredible transportation professionals who keep our students safe every day. Here in Pocahontas County Schools, our drivers and transportation staff go above and beyond—navigating mountain roads, greeting students with a smile, and ensuring every child arrives ready to learn.

This month, we honor their commitment, care, and responsibility. Safe, reliable transportation is essential to student access, learning, and success, and we are grateful for the dedicated team behind every route.
Help us show appreciation—share a thank‑you message, photo, or shout‑out for your favorite bus driver below! 💛🚌
