Kelloggsville Heroic Bus Drivers
This evening three members of our transportation department, Sue Figueroa, Kristin Nickelson, and Dave Skinner, were recognized for their heroic actions on Tuesday, October 4th that helped save a 2-year-old in our community! They were acknowledged by our Board of Education and by Nate Engle, the West Michigan Regional Liaison of the Executive Office of Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
