(02/23/2024) The Anoka-Hennepin transportation department held its 29th annual school bus safety poster contest this winter, which began during Winter School Bus Safety Week.
The winners were recognized at the district transportation safety committee meeting on March 6. View photos from the recognition program.
This year’s theme was Driving Safely Into the Future. The transportation department invited students in all grade levels to submit their best artwork for the competition. Each school held its own poster contest, with one winner chosen from each grade level. The winning poster for each school was then entered into the district contest.
