McDonald's Honors Fulton Bus Drivers

From Fulton County School: During Fulton County Schools’ Bus Driver Appreciation Week, October 16-20, several members of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operators Association visited the County’s North and South Transportation facilities to pay tribute to some unsung heroes in the community who often go unnoticed—the Fulton County School System’s bus drivers.

To honor their hard work and dedication, McDonald’s thanked many of the County’s 820 bus drivers by providing breakfast immediately following their morning shift.

“This was a wonderful surprise for our “unsung heroes” during National School Bus Safety Week,” said Sam Ham, executive director of transportation services for the Fulton County School District. “Our drivers were so appreciative. The food was delicious, the service and smiles were heart-warming, and the teamwork was exceptional! As one of our school bus driver’s said, ‘We Deserve A Break Today’ and we thank our local McDonald’s Owners/Operators, for providing the delicious break.”

The Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operators Association includes more than 50 owners and operators and operations managers, representing 289 restaurants in the 45 county Greater Atlanta area.

“We are extremely thankful for the men and women that take our children to school safely every day, rain or shine,” said Dave Hamilton, president of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Owners/Operators Association. “School bus drivers are unsung heroes and are all too often overlooked. This is just a small token of our appreciation for all they do.”
