Letter to the Editor:
The past 3 plus years I have been driving school bus for STC Schools on what we refer to as the Chelsea route. Due to a change in my personal life it became necessary that I resign that post. My one regret is that I did not have the opportunity to tell every parent what an outstanding group of children they have.
The very first day I drove, I told them my job was to get them to and from school as safely as possible. I could not do this myself, I needed their help. They responded by following rules, being polite, courteous and respectful, not only to me but everyone on the bus.
I'm not saying we didn't have a little tiff every now and then. Imagine being in a 9'x 40' box with 60 other people many 3 to a seat in cold or hot weather with all kinds of different personalities, many having good and bad days. They were all together for up to one hour in the morning and again in the afternoon. It is remarkable how well these kids handled themselves.
I will certainly miss all my friends on the bus and I will tell anyone who will listen how great these kids are. The parents and the entire Chelsea community should be very proud of their young people, I know I am.
