RDE Fifth Grader Awarded Grant
Congratulations to River Dell Elementary Fifth Grader Harrison Bennett who was awarded the Johnston County Public Schools Student Innovator Grant. Harrisonโs idea is to help students see the bus drivers hand signals better. With the grant, bus drivers will get black gloves to wear with reflective tape so the students can see the bus driver better as they are loading and unloading the bus.
