“Tamara, you are truly driving your bus with positive energy every day! Even with the busyness of life and the challenges that come your way, you continue to stay productive and positive. Your enthusiasm and uplifting attitude brighten the journey for everyone around you. You keep your vision in focus, invite others on board with kindness, and help create a culture of teamwork and encouragement.

💛💙🐯 North Elementary Driver of the Week! 🐯💙💛

Congratulations to our newest Driver of the Week — Ms. Gaus! 🎉🚌

She was nominated by Mrs. Bockoras, who shared these wonderful remarks:

"Ms. Gaus is always willing to give her energy and expertise to move the bus in the right direction. She is the OPPOSITE of an energy vampire. She is so flexible and willing to try new things. (She's becoming quite the AI advocate as well 😁). I wish everyone had her attitude! If Ms. Gaus is driving the bus, I want to be on it!"

👏👏 Thank you, Ms. Gaus, for your positivity, energy, and leadership. NES is so lucky to have you on our Energy Bus!

Good morning NES Families,
