⚾️ Fun Night at the Ballpark! ⚾️

The FDMT treated our amazing volunteers to a night at the ballpark to see the Philadelphia Phillies!

This event was part of our ongoing recruitment and retention efforts—a small way to show our appreciation for the dedicated men and women who give their time to serve our community.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for everything you do. We hope you enjoyed the game, the fellowship, and a well-deserved night out!

Friendly reminder from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT):

As students return to the classroom throughout the region, drivers are reminded to be on the lookout for school buses and children crossing the street.

Pennsylvania’s School Bus Stopping Law requires all drivers to stop at least 10 feet away from buses when their red lights are flashing and stop arms are activated.

Drivers must stop when behind the bus, meeting the bus, or approaching an intersection where a bus is stopped. However, they are not required to stop if a physical barrier - such as a grassy median, guide rail, or concrete median barrier - separate oncoming traffic from the bus.
