As we continue highlighting the amazing members of our Transportation Department, we'd like to introduce Tammy!
This year marks 15 years behind the wheel at Midwest Central, where she can be found driving Bus #6. When asked her favorite thing about driving a school bus, Tammy's answer was simple:"My kids."
If you've ever talked with Tammy's students or their families, you've probably heard her called"Mom Tammy" or"Grandma Tammy." Over the years, she has built special relationships with generations of students and families, and it's not uncommon for parents to remind her that retirement will have to wait because a younger sibling is just getting started. At this rate, Tammy jokes that she may never get to retire!
When asked what she's hoping for this school year, Tammy shared that she's looking forward to"a very good year."
Tammy's kindness, commitment, and genuine care for students have made a lasting impact on countless families throughout her 15 years at Midwest Central. We are grateful for everything she does to help make each bus ride a positive experience.
Thank you, Tammy, for your dedication to our students, families, and community. We hope you have a wonderful year on Bus #6!

Using a bungee-jumping Barbie, students are collecting data and developing mathematical equations to predict exactly where Barbie's head will be when she jumps from an assigned height. Their score will be based on how close their prediction is to the actual result.
It's a fun, hands-on way to apply physics concepts, mathematical modeling, and problem-solving skills to a real-world challenge. Good luck, physicists!
