POLK COUNTY, FL — Some of our Polk County bus drivers are bringing good in this world with their smiles and care for the kids they take to and from school every day. February is Love the Bus Month. Polk County Public Schools District will honor school bus drivers throughout Feb. Driver Judy Schultheis is recognized for her contributions to keep kids safe and the bus sanitized. Schultheis became a bus driver after she retired from Publix, according to Polk County Public Schools. Judy Schultheis is all smiles when she drives the bus to pick up and drop off Polk County students. (Polk County Public School District)She told PCPS that she loves being around children and believes in them. Her heart stays young being there for the kids. She feels pride in building relationships with her students, PCPS reported. Her concern for the children's' safety causes her to sanitize the bus to protect them from COVID-19. Her coworkers call her a committed team player who is always willing to help other drivers by taking additional routes and picking up students who missed the bus, PCPS said.
