>  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
