Longtime Bus Driver Promises to Keep In Touch

Laura Suprenant drove Rockford students to and from school for 10 years. So after retiring from Rockford Public Schools in December, she thought it only right to throw her young riders a pizza party.

Suprenant recently provided a scrumptious lunch for the students of Parkside Elementary, where Principal Larry Watters said she had a positive impact on his students. She also transported pupils at Valley View, Lakes and Crestwood elementary schools and Our Lady of Consolation Catholic School. She drove for Grand Rapids Public Schools for 20 years before that.

In her retirement, Suprenant said she plans to stay in touch with the students through volunteer work in the schools. She also intends to do ministry for the homeless in Grand Rapids and surrounding areas.
