Many students start and end their day on a school bus. If school bus drivers could see all students from the inside-out and students could see bus drivers from the inside-out, it would positively impact their attitudes toward each other. Our Peer Helping program decided to spend a day bonding with over 40 local school bus drivers. We led our Inside-Out Peer Helping Workshops and broke down walls while bonding. It is a day none of us will ever forget. We laughed, we loved and we learned a lot. Keep growing.
