The Life of a Bus Driver<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]My bus driver Tammy has a lot of rules to follow. When she stops on railroad tracks she has to open the door to hear for a train. It’s required for her to pull the parking brake every time she stops. She can’t take off until everybody is in a seat or she will be in trouble. When she picks up kids, she has to pull over a little to the opposite side of the road so cars will see the bus and know kids are on it. She has an elementary school route after the high school route but after school the elementary is before us. She always cleans every seat before letting us on.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”9476″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][heading subtitle=”By Sierra Sinders”]\n

Volleyball<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]West Vigo Volleyball started off really strong this season with some of the newcomers to the high school! Jaycee Elkins and Somer Ockerman started strong on varsity as freshmen. The volleyball team has already won some amazing games. Junior varsity is going strong with two games as a start off, They have awesome teamwork skills. Sadly some players have been hurt during the games. Reagan Taylor came in strong as a new libero on the junior varsity team. She\u2019s been getting some awesome saves in the few games they’ve had.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
