JENNA BUSH HAGER MOTHER OF TWO, NETWORK TV CORRESPONDENT & DAUGHTER OF FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH - SCHOOL BUS SAFETY TIPS
As a former teacher and mother of two, Jenna Bush Hager says the safety of children is always on her mind–especially during National School Bus Safety Week. That’s why the daughter of a former president and TV host has teamed up with the Propane Education & Research Council to raise awareness of how parents can improve safety on and around school buses. School buses have a great track record when it comes to safety. According to the National Association for Pupil Transportation, school buses are the safest mode of transportation to and from school. However, a bus stop on a busy morning can be a chaotic place. Jenna will provide a few basic guidelines parents can teach children so they stay safe every school day. You’ll also learn how the Council is partnering with journalists, Jenna and the nonprofit Adopt a Classroom to donate more than $25,000 to teachers at schools that are adopting propane buses. For more information on propane school buses, including bus safety tips for parents and kids courtesy of the National Association of Pupil Transportation, visit BetterOurBuses.com. To donate to teachers in your local community, visit AdoptAClassroom.org.
SOME SCHOOL BUS SAFETY TIPS FROM JENNA’S LIST:
• Teaching children to talk quietly, be courteous to the driver and always follow instructions
• How to teach kids to respect the curb space while waiting for a bus
• The benefits of powering buses by alternative fuels like propane
