Today, on Veterans Day, we honor and thank all who have served in our armed forces. In St. Vrain Valley Schools, we are proud to recognize the continued service of veterans who now support our students and community in new roles.

In this video, we highlight two of our dedicated bus drivers - veterans whose commitment to service continues every day as they help safely transport and support the next generation.

Thank you to all veterans for your courage, dedication, and sacrifice. #VeteransDay
