It is that time of the year once again, summer is winding down and school is about to open for our Maine kids, if it hasn't already!

This is a friendly reminder to be aware while driving during the morning commute to work and during the mid-afternoon hours!  Kids will be on the side of the road waiting for and departing school buses!  Slow it down and keep an eye out, please!

Some schools have already started, I saw kids waiting for the bus on Rte. 1A in Holden this morning.  Most schools, including Bangor, will start the day after Labor Day, on Tuesday the 3rd!
