COOPERSVILLE, MI - Safety and security is paramount at Coopersville Area Public Schools. So much so that three of the district's drivers volunteer their time to help transition the preschool students who will be attending Kindergarten next year. In the classroom the drivers and Tigger discuss the bus rules and safety issues. Then students get to board a bus and learn how to apply the rules. This informal setting helps students feel at ease on the bus and helps to reduce the first day jitters. A big thank you goes out to Julie Lothschutz, Tigger (Kris Crater) and Jodi Cardosa for volunteering their time and talents to help some of our youngest Coopersville students.
