Poster titled “Bus Driver Appreciation Week!” with the subtitle “Thank you for all you do for the students of Swain County!” The design features eight cartoon-style illustrations of school bus drivers smiling and leaning out of yellow school bus windows, arranged in two columns. Each panel shows a small group of drivers with varied ages, hairstyles, glasses, hats, and clothing, all drawn in a friendly, slightly exaggerated caricature style. A school logo with a maroon “S” and a devil mascot appears on the right side near the bottom. The lower right corner includes a “NAPT Love the Bus Month” graphic with a heart. A long list of bus driver names appears in small text across the bottom, along with the note, “Created with the assistance of AI.” The background shows a road with a yellow center line fading into the distance.
This is a reminder that Swain County Schools will be closed on Friday, February 13 for a scheduled, mandatory teacher workday.
