out & about brought me great love and we had special bonds.” Petie Davis hired drivers for over thirty years at Dobson Elementary and said, “Great drivers set a good example and are like a second teacher each day. They are mentors and role models. Children who ride buses make lifelong friends and many see the same driver for twelve or more years. The driver may be a life changer, confidante, and mentor.” We praise and honor those who dedicate themselves to providing children the safest mode of transportation to and from school. Each student can expect a kind word and warm smile the first thing in the morning and a cordial goodbye and well wishes each evening. We close by honoring Surry’s Drivers of the Year: 2019-2020
