💙 Honoring a Legacy of Service 💙
Students at Minico High School in Mr. Travis Kent and Brent VanEvery’s class recently completed a beautiful memorative bench to honor the mother of Coleen Jones, District Transportation Director.
Coleen’s mother dedicated more than 50 years of service to the district as a school bus driver and transportation department employee. This bench stands as a lasting tribute to her commitment, hard work, and the countless students she supported over the decades.
We are incredibly proud of our students for their craftsmanship, compassion, and for helping preserve the legacy of those who have served our school community so faithfully. 💙🚌
