Fairfax County bus driver Jim Crockett of Lorton was named runner up in the Thomas Built Buses Children’s Choice School Bus Drive of the Year essay contest.

Floris Elementary School sixth grade student Rahul nominated Crockett with an essay which included a poem he wrote about the bus driver as well as a drawing.

In Rahul’s nomination of Crockett, he said, “As long as we are inside Mr. Crockett’s bus, we are free of any nervousness. He is a remarkable man who always keeps us cheerful.”
