ADAMS TWP — Christina Smith, Mars Area School District’s director of transportation, recognized the district’s winners of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s National School Bus Safety Week Poster Contest at Tuesday’s board meeting.

“I just wanted to congratulate the winners for this year’s poster contest. It was ‘Safely Rolling to My Destination,’” Smith said.

The state’s annual poster contest is organized by PennDOT in preparation for School Bus Safety Week in the fall, she said.

“And the state comes out with a new poster theme every year to get the kids kind of involved in school bus transportation,” Smith said.
