Hello. My name is Lois Ackerman. I am a proud school bus driver for the Colleton County School District. I have been a bus driver for almost 11 years. There are things that the children say and do that amazes me. This week is considered "Read Across America" in honor of Dr. Seuss. I always dress up on certain holidays for my children. I always enjoy dressing up as the Cat in the Hat and reading to the children. I had the privilege to read for Mrs. Mabry's class at Forest Hills this morning. I talked to my children on the bus this morning about Dr. Seuss. It was mostly elementary and middle school. Some said they did not know much about him. I asked questions when I finished telling them all about him. Each and every one answered my questions correctly. They loved the way I was dressed. The children in elementary, believe it or not, said they were going to tell their teacher what they learned this morning. So any time you get a chance to talk to children, talk about things to help them learn. Again, I love my children on bus route #2.
