Local School Bus Driver Honored With State Award For Saving Child

September 9, 2014

An Escambia County School District bus driver received statewide recognition at the Florida capitol in Tallahassee Monday for saving a young boy found wandering along in the middle of Kingsfield Road.

Bus driver Daisy Robinson will be honored Monday as Florida Missing Children’s Day School Bus Operator of the Year. She was selected for the honor by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse Advisory Board.

    Until this story I never knew Angels also drive buses! It is so good to read positive stories like this one. Gives us the chance to be thankful for where we live.
