Photo by Jason DeMoeSchool bus safety contest competitors Becky Devine, Karisa Larson, Darcy Overland and Earl Nelson pose with the trophies brought home from the state event in Arden Hills and the national competition in Indianapolis.
Three years ago, Forest Lake Area Schools sent a team of bus drivers to the “Minnesota School Bus Road-eo” at Arden Hills. That year, and every year since, the district has seen at least one driver earn a trip to the national competition. The competitors all agree that it wouldn’t be possible without a lot of team spirit.
“I don’t even feel like the trophies are mine, but rather that they belong to all of us,” said bus driver Karina Larson, who earned a first-place finish at state and a second-place finish at nationals. “Without the support of my team and all of the bus drivers here in Forest Lake, this would never have been possible.”broadstreet.zone(48036);
