Everyone who cared for my kindergartener knew April and loved her (she knew that the pick-up person at the end of our driveway changed daily ) On the first day of Young 5's she dropped off my daughter and said "I just love her, I'm so glad she's on my bus this year!"

I can't thank her enough for that,...

April was the epitome of a Western bus driver. Her passengers became "her kids" and she treated them as her own. She never had to "write a student up" as she took it as a mission to get the desired behavior through kindness and compassion! A bright light in the lives of all who knew her, she and Ron often chaperoned out eighth grade students to Cedar Point. It was always calming to me with 150 students to know they were by my side. While I knew her from work, she became a friend who...
