Every year, over 100 kids lose their lives while walking to school, and another 25,000 suffer injuries. Shockingly, half of the 31 pedestrians who are killed while boarding a bus are children aged five to seven. Yes, you read that right—children are facing grave dangers on their way to school each year.
So, what’s the cause of this alarming trend? It’s not the bus drivers; it’s the other motorists. Drivers speeding through school zones, distracted by their phones or texting, and those who ignore flashing lights and extended stop arms on school buses. Not only is this behavior illegal, it’s incredibly perilous for our little ones.
I’ve always loved the song “Bust a Move,” and I thought it would be the perfect tune to convey this crucial message. How could I resist a line like, “It’s big and yellow, you say, ‘Hello, come pick up my kids you fine fellow’” when singing about a school bus? I just couldn’t!
We need to raise awareness about this tragic issue. So, please share this video to remind everyone that school is in session, kids are walking to their classes, and getting on school buses. Encourage drivers to stay alert behind the wheel, and if you see a bus—DON’T MOVE!
