Schuylkill Haven Life Skills Class rides to Wal-Mart
Students of the Schuylkill Haven Life Skills Class embarked on a “Bus Buddy” learning session with Joan Breslin of STS on March 18, 2010. The group boarded the Schuylkill Haven to Pottsville fixed route bus at Dock and Main Streets; rode to the Pottsville Terminal; transferred to the Shenandoah fixed route bus; and then continued their journey to Wal-Mart in Saint Clair.
Students learned the importance of reading bus schedules; the payment of fares; transfers; signaling to the driver and other public transportation etiquette.
After shopping for a bit the class repeated the return trip back to Schuylkill Haven.
The children thoroughly enjoyed learning how to ride public transportation and eagerly anticipate this day every year. This is the third consecutive year of STS working with the students of Schuylkill Haven Area School District.
