9. Speaking of the bus…
Please do NOT throw your garbage on the floor or leave it in the seat.
When we pass back the garbage bags, please use them.
It took the captains a long time to pick up the mess on the bus after Farmington. It was disgusting!
Double check to make sure you have all of your things before you get of the bus. Thanks!
