"I love my kids," bus driver says, describing family atmosphere on routes
Summary
A Lawton bus driver described close relationships with students, sometimes across generations, and said the role provides meaningful daily interactions that motivate drivers.
A bus driver participating in the district's bus rodeo described the routes as an "enjoyable environment" where drivers get to know students' names and sometimes see multiple generations of the same families ride their bus. The driver said those interactions — morning greetings and hugs — are a primary reason they keep doing the job.
"Oh, I'm very excited. I love my kids, and we have fun on my bus," the driver said. The driver framed the role as more than transportation, describing a family-like atmosphere and calling for others to consider joining the district as drivers.
