Congratulations to Cydney Benjamin on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Benjamin was nominated by Clive MacDougall-Purnell for being a brand-new driver who perfectly drew on her training, protecting the lives of two students who could have crossed into the path of an oncoming car that had chosen to ignore and drive through the bus's red lights. Despite the vehicle being in the distance when the students disembarked, she recognized the danger and held them until the offending vehicle had passed.
Congratulations to Patty Ulmer-Fleming on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award. Ulmer-Fleming was nominated by Cindy Peterson for keeping our students safe. On March 22, 2024, bus 37 was full of students heading in to start their school day. While traveling on York St., a car came over the crest of the road and was traveling in the buses traffic lane @ 55mph. Miss Patty evasively moved into the other lane and the car sped by the school bus. Miss Patty did not even have a split second to decide what to do. Her protective instincts took over and she saved the lives of her precious cargo. Miss Patty has been a professional school bus driver with HF-L since 2012. Her primary goal is to keep students safe while they are in her care. We are extremely proud of Miss Patty!!!
