First Riders Program

The start of school is still over a week away, but some first time students from the Rainy River district got their first ride on a school bus yesterday.

More than 50 students took part in the First Riders program held in Fort Frances and Stratton.

Transportation coordinator for the Rainy River Transportation Services Donna Lee says it helps young students get adjusted for that first ride to school.

A similar session will be held at St. Patrick's School in Atikokan next Thursday.
