Earlier this school year Farmingdale art teachers challenged students to create designs for the National School Bus Safety Poster Contest. The theme is “Safely Rolling to My Destination”. Three eighth graders from Howitt Middle School and a fifth grader from Woodward Parkway took top honors.

The National School Bus Safety Poster Contest is sponsored by The New York Association for Pupil Transportation (NYAPT) in partnership with the New York State Education Department and in accordance with guidelines and rules set out by the American School Bus Council (ASBC).
