NY Bus Drivers Arrange 22 School Buses to Spell '2020'

A group of New York bus drivers paid tribute to local seniors who won't have a traditional graduationceremony this year due to social distancing restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier this month, bus drivers from the Windsor Central School District arranged 22 of their school buses to spell out "2020" in the Windsor Central High School parking lot. Not only that, but they also wrote the names of all 119 of the district's graduating seniors in chalk.

“Over the years we end up being like their, not only their transportation but their, almost like a counselor, the disciplinarian," Windsor bus driver Nancy Flanagan told WIVT.

"We hold many hats we don’t just sit there and drive the bus, so these children become our children the longer we have them on the bus," she added. "They’re one of ours."

According to WIVT, the entire display took about three hours to organize. Throughout the process, the team of drivers had someone send them pictures from a nearby roof to help them make adjustments.

“We wanted to show them we care. It’s our way of saying goodbye and letting them know they aren’t forgotten,” Flanagan said in a post to the school district's Facebook page. “They grow up with us, they first get on our bus when they’re four years old.”
