Congratulations to our own Brandon Odom for being recognized as Bus Driver of the Year! Brandon Odom is not only a valuable bus driver; he approaches his task with zeal. Brandon is a contracted bus driver only. He is a morning and afternoon driver for Cleveland High, Swift Creek Middle and Polenta Elementary schools. I have had different parents sending messages that the driver needs to be commended for actions taken when his bus was rear-ended, that he moved the students from the back of the bus to the front of the bus, and kept everyone on the bus come. Other parents have also praised Brandon for caring for each and every student and making them laugh, which sets them apart for a successful day. The parent also said that the driver even dressed up like Santa for the Christmas holidays and the students on the bus loved it. Brandon is very reliable, dependable and efficient. He's always willing to go above and beyond the requirements of his job description. He has very good attendance. Brandon always has a smile on his face followed by words of en couragement if needed. He always exhibits a positive attitude and is eager to be the very best at what he is involved in. Congratulations and thank you for taking care of our kids each day!

Gustavo is extremely dedicated to learning English. He is new to our school and our country and he works very hard each day to acquire the English language. Gustavo spends a lot of time practicing and is very eager to learn. I am amazed at how well he is learning the language, especially his writing skills. He has started interpreting for other newcomers who have been here longer than him. #PumaOfTheWeek #Passionate Pumas #DeterminedPumas
