January buses of the month graphic

Each month, the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District recognizes school buses where students demonstrate characteristics of a true Crusader: respectful, compassionate and well behaved. These buses represent a collaborative effort by students, drivers and attendants who work as a team to keep the bus safe.

Congratulations to January’s honorees! 

Central Valley Elementary School Bus #611
Driver: Laura Ippoliti

My Central Valley students are wonderful! We travel from Central Valley to Tuxedo each and every day. So, one could say that they are with me for a while. We enjoy each other’s company and I consider them to be a bus family. They respect each other and they all get along great. They have some differences, but all in all they work it out. They follow my direction each and every day and they have followed the safety rules of Bus #611 since day one! They understand why safety is so important. They are a pleasure to have on the bus and I am very lucky to have them this year. GREAT GROUP OF KIDS! They you to the parents as well! 


Monroe-Woodbury Middle School Bus# 594
Driver: Andrea Mikell

These children have worked so hard on their manners, behaviors, listening skills, safety and their respect for others. They have come a long way. This challenge has been a lot of work, but we achieved it! 


Sapphire Elementary School Bus #628 - JanuaryBus of the Month
Driver: Evelyn Miller

The students have shown great signs of improvement. They follow direction very well. They ride the bus in the correct manner without screaming and remain seated. I’m very proud of this group!
