Posted Jun19, 2008 at 09:49 AM

Three Roanoke County school bus drivers and one driver's aide have placed in the state bus rodeo competition -- and two of them have ties to Salem and Glenvar.

Becky Holt, who is from Salem (and is an aide on a special needs bus in the Northside area), took third place.

Greg Lampert, who drives for Glenvar, also took third place.

The other two winners -- Marie Pratt and Linda Turner -- also drive for Northside.

Here's the official release from Chuck Lionberger of Roanoke County Public Schools:

ROANOKE COUNTY BUS DRIVERS TAKE TOP HONORS
IN STATEWIDE BUS RODEO

ROANOKE – When it comes to knowing how to drive a bus, Roanoke County can
proudly say they have some of the best drivers in the state. During the
annual statewide school bus rodeo held June 17 in Virginia Beach, three
Roanoke County drivers placed in all three divisions.

In the transit bus division, Marie Pratt took first place. In the
conventional bus division, Greg Lampert took third place. In the special
needs bus division, driver Linda Turner and aide Becky Holt took third
place.

“I’m very proud of our drivers,” said Supervisor of Transportation Danny
Carroll. “All our drivers work hard to be the best they can be and these
awards demonstrate our commitment to safety and efficiency,” Carroll said.
