School Bus Drivers are essential elements in helping school districts provide meaningful educational opportunities for kids.   In honor of Ohio School Bus Safety Day (May 7), Crestview Local Schools would like to show their appreciation for its bus drivers. This is the one time of each year that school administrators and communities and the public should join together to celebrate the incredible successes that we enjoy with school transportation.  The school bus is absolutely the safest way for our children to travel to and from school – and at the same provides an incredible convenience for our parents while at the same time reducing traffic congestion and smog around our communities.  Just think – without any school buses in our state, an additional 750,000 personal vehicles would be on the road twice daily to transport students back and forth to school.  That would bring more congestion, more fuel use, more smog, more accidents, and a net loss of safety for our school children. Whether running a regular bus route, or transporting a team to a sporting event, bus drivers provide the “glue” that gets students where they need to be. Pictured is the Crestview fleet of busses as students are being released from school.

The Crestview High School Music Department will be presenting their Pops Concert, Friday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditeria.  The jazz band, high school band, high school chorus and Knight-Vision will be performing along with graduating seniors showcasing their talents.  Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for senior citizens and students K-12.  Pictured is the Crestview show choir Knight Vision.

On April 21, 2012, the seniors of Crestview High School, under the guidance of English teacher Mrs. Pamela Brown, hosted a walk-a-thon to benefit the Snyder family of Wren and the family of the late Mary Smith. The event, which lasted from 12:00pm until 8pm, collected over $1700 for the Snyder family.  The seniors invested over 800 hours as a class planning, promoting, and participating in the event.  Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is graciously providing $1500 to be given to the Mary Smith family later this month. The Senior Class of 2012 would like to extend thanks to all who sponsored and walked with them in support of these families.
