Hi,
My son just started Kindergarten and I was wondering if it is appropriate to give the school bus drivers gifts?

Is this allowed even?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I think that it is a lovely idea for someone whom most people overlook! I agree - a small gift of some kind, or gift card even - to a coffee house, movies, Walmart - (can be used for gas or groceries), an ornament in a pretty gift bag with a card by your son would be really sweet! Good job for thinking about him/her!

It is appropriate! I have given Gloves and scarves (wow- especially in NY this would be good!) and travel coffee mugs. Or gift cards.
Any of those is great!

They have such a huge responsibility I can't believe parents over look them at Christmas. I give $10 (cash) at Christmas and the end of the year.

Something small should be fine. Maybe a hot chocolate "ice cream" cone...it is homemade but you can find how to make it online. It is cute.

My husband was a school bus driver for about 10 years after he retired and he always received gifts from his boys and girls...sometimes it was home made goodies...gift cards to a store or movie passes. He especially enjoyed anything that the girls and boys had made themselves...he loved his kids and they loved him!!
I really like the idea of a travel mug...or a warm pair of gloves...something he could have used while he was there on the bus!!!

Absolutely it is acceptable. We always try to remember the bus driver. They are so often overlooked and their job is so important. I usually send our bus driver a cute candle holder, a fancy ink pen with her initials on it, other have give her a plant. I like the idea of a nice pair of gloves.

I love our driver, She is so sweet but firm with the kids and after cleaning up my son's puke, and driving him safely in the ice and snow, i owe her more than words can describe. I do remember her at christmas, just something little but heartfelt.

Last year my dds and I hand painted ceramic ornaments- the kind that goes in a kiln. We gave them to teachers, bus drivers and therapists. They turned out cute and were adorable. I also made pocket tissue jackets. This year, I plan on using the $3 frames at Walmart and finish them with handmade paper.

Yes, definitely! I always give cash in a "holiday" card on the last day of school before break.
