Notice Regarding Acceptable Containers for Valentine's Day Flowers For Bus Riders: If anyone plans to send flowers to a student at school, please ask the flower shop to use a plastic vase or basket if the child is a bus rider. Glass containers and balloons are not permitted on the school bus, school van or school car, due to safety reasons. If the child drops the glass they could cut themselves or others, and balloons hinder a driver's vision and could cause an accident. Students with balloons or glass items will need to have alternate transportation. Thank you for your help, and please share.
