?Attention:? Parents of Newton Bus Riders

??We are requesting your?help?to begin 2008 safely by reviewing bus safety rules with your
children;? i.e., remain seated facing forward with feet on the floor, buckle up those seat belts, speak quietly so as not to disturb the bus driver.? Also, some children are not willing to share seats with others or allow one child and not another to share.? With the large number of kids riding the bus, children need to board the bus and quickly be seated and
safe when the bus begins moving.? We'll also remind the kids to be courteous to one another.

Thanks and Happy New Year!????? -??? Betsy and Alice
