School Bus
We are very fortunate to have Mr. Watanabe with us again this year. Mr. Watanabe is a very caring, careful gentlemen who looks out for the safety of our bus children. Not only does he have safe driving record, he also supervises the maintenance of the buses and school vehicles, making sure that they operate reliably. The HIS community is grateful for their continued service.
