Due to weather, there are multiple changes in today's athletic event schedule. Softball that was scheduled for today was played yesterday. Today's baseball games at Pine Bluff, ninth-grade track meet at Lake Hamilton, and boys soccer match in Sheridan have all been canceled.
The Sheridan School District needs bus drivers. We need you. Bus drivers in our district now make between $20-$28 per hour. And it's one of few part-time jobs anywhere with health insurance available along with retirement benefits, all while working just 3-4 hours per day on average during the school year. Nights, weekends, holidays and summers off. When your kids are out of school, so are you! You can only drive a morning route? We can use you. Only an afternoon route? We'll sign you up. You don't want a long-term commitment but could drive on occasion? We'd love to have you in a substitute driver pool. We'll even help you with all the training you need to get your CDL if you don't already have one. Call us today! 870-942-5522. Your district needs you. #YJNation #GreatPartTimeJob #DriveABus #HelpSomeKidsGetToSchool
