At a recent Board of Education meeting, the Three 起点传媒 Central School 起点传媒 recognized bus driver Joe Trapani and bus attendant Juana Nunez for their swift and courageous actions that ensured the safety of students during a dangerous incident.

On April 22, while transporting special-needs students home from Arrowhead Elementary, Trapani noticed the smell of smoke coming from the minibus. He immediately pulled over and, together with Nunez, safely evacuated all students. Within minutes, the bus was fully engulfed in flames.

Thanks to their quick thinking and calm response, all students were unharmed. Trapani and Nunez personally contacted each child’s family to inform them that their children were safe.

The fire was so intense it destroyed the vehicle, leaving only the steel frame intact. Despite the severity of the situation, a potential tragedy was avoided due to the care and professionalism of the transportation staff.

The district commended both Trapani and Nunez for their heroic actions and for putting student safety above all else.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Mount Elementary School hosted a weeklong celebration to promote mental health and well-being. Students in grades 3-6 participated in a Self-Care Fair during their health classes, engaging in fun and therapeutic activities. These included shredding their worries, coloring, playing bingo and writing down personal coping strategies to help them feel their best.

Meanwhile, younger students in kindergarten through second grade explored the importance of mental health and healthy coping skills. Through videos, books and hands-on activities, they learned valuable lessons about taking care of their mental well-being in a supportive and positive school environment.

The week’s events not only educated students about mental health but also encouraged them to practice self-care and foster a culture of kindness and support within the school community.
