Dr. Portia Brandt, School Superintendent and bus driver, Christine Raymer guide the last of the kindergardeners on the bus for a short ride before school starts during their orientation Thursday night at Myers Elementary School.

MUNCY - Four new classes of kindergarten students will start this week and are they ever excited. For last Thursday evening, they had the opportunity to ride a school bus and learn all about safety when riding a school bus. "This is important for them. Many of these youngsters have never been on a bus before and will need to ride a school bus for field trips, even if they walk to school or get a ride by parents," said Superintendent, Dr. Portia Brandt.

Brelsford Transportation, Inc. in Muncy loaned one of their buses for the kindergarten orientation so the kids could get a short ride and experience what it is like to ride in a bus.

At 6 p.m. a group of ten youngsters lined up to board the bus as Dr. Brandt ushered them into their seats.

Before starting the bus, senior bus driver, Christine Raymer, went over some safety tips to the eager faces as they were engulfed in the large seats of the newest bus with Brelsford.
