Our third graders were surprised with a meaningful gift today, the gift of words! Through the Rotary Dictionary Project, a nationwide initiative that places personal dictionaries in the hands of young learners, members of the Bowie Rotary Club visited Bowie Intermediate to deliver dictionaries to every 3rd grade student. We are grateful for their commitment to supporting literacy and investing in the success of our students at BISD. #BowieBuilt

🚍✨ It's National School Bus Safety Week! (Oct 20-24) ✨🚍
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s NHTSA reminds all drivers to slow down and stay alert around school buses. Remember, passing a school bus is illegal and can be deadly for kids.
🛑 When you see flashing red lights and a stop arm extended, you MUST come to a complete stop. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s the law!
🔶 Yellow lights mean the bus is getting ready to stop. Slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle. You can only move once the red lights are off and the bus is moving again.
Stay aware of the “Danger Zone”—the area around the bus where children are most at risk, including:
-10 feet in front of the bus
-10 feet on either side of the bus
-Behind the bus
Let’s work together to keep our children safe! For more info on school bus safety, visit: NHTSA School Bus Safety - https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety....
