This week, Franklin Pierce Schools recognizes the incredible 🚌Transportation team! Whether driving buses, coordinating routes, or planning transportation solutions, these professionals are the vital link connecting students to their schools.

They do far more than transport—they're often the first smiling faces students see, setting a positive tone for the day and ensuring safe arrivals home. Their patience, kindness, and commitment reflect genuine care for every student.

Thanks to this amazing team!

🩺Today is School Health Professionals Day! Thank you to all of our FPS Health Professionals, who go above and beyond every day to make sure our school community is safe, healthy and ready to learn.

When many of us think about health professionals, we often think of preventing or responding to illness. The past few years have highlighted that this hard-working group so much more! During a season of increasing requirements from the state, addressing the lingering impacts of the pandemic and mental health issues on the rise, they are doing so much to help promote a sense of wellness. Thank you ❤
