Nice to Meet You!
I'm Mrs. Woodard.  Often times I get called "Hey You" or "Bus Driver".  Ha!  I'm just glad the students talk to me.

Favorite Teacher 
My favorite person in school was actually my kindergarten assistant, Mrs. Woodie. She always had a soft spoken tone, and made me feel loved. She was a true example of what a role model should be in an educational setting.

Favorite Activities
I enjoy crafting with my Cricut, fishing, and baking.

What I Love Most about Driving A School Bus
My favorite thing about driving a bus is that more days than not I get to see my children that ride and set the tone by telling them good morning, and I'm happy to see them and as the last face they see for the school I drop them off and ending their day by assuring them they are loved.

My favorite place to visit would be Murray’s Mill, especially when they run the Mill once a year to see things still work is pretty cool. 

Favorite Activities
I LOVE spending time with my family, especially since we’ve been apart the last three years. My son is a tanker in the U.S. Army and is stationed in Fort Riley Kansas. He will be home this year for good! Yay! And my daughter is a Senior this year at Bandys high school, so one will be coming home and another will be leaving for college. So spending time with them, and my husband Allen and our Shihtzu Max is my favorite activity. 

What I Love Most about Driving A School Bus
My favorite thing would be the afternoons when I get to hear all about their day usually by whoever sits behind me. I love watching them grow, make changes, and mature into new people every year.

My favorite teacher was my 6th grade teacher Ms. Norma Stewart.  My favorite bus driver was Miss Donna Stewart.  Both of these ladies always made me feel like I mattered. They both made me feel safe and important. I could always go to them if I had something on my mind knowing that they would listen. I was shy when I was younger and these ladies helped me to begin to overcome my shyness.
