The unsung hero of Independence Local Schools is our bus mechanic, Al DiGiandomenico! 👨🔧
In October, the State Highway Patrol came to inspect our school buses, and guess what? 🚨 They all passed with flying colors! 💯
That's all thanks to Al's hard work and dedication. 💪 As the only mechanic for our entire fleet of 17 buses, he's constantly inspecting, repairing, and maintaining our buses to ensure the safety of our students and drivers. 🚎
Al is always 'in, out, under the bus and hood,' making sure every vehicle is in top shape. 🔧 He never fails an inspection, and we're so grateful for his incredible efforts! 👏
Let's give a big shout-out to Al, our MVP bus mechanic at Independence Local Schools! 🏆
