February 22 is National Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Did you know that the Sheridan School District is the seventh-largest geographically in Arkansas, covering over 622 square miles? That means our buses drive more miles than almost any others in the state. Our bus drivers transport 1,800+ students to and from school, running 34 routes twice daily in addition to providing special event transportation. Today, as we do every day, we thank the Sheridan School District bus drivers for all they do! Thank you!
