5 giant steps can make a BIG difference. Teach kids to stay about 10 feet — or 5 giant steps — away from the curb while waiting for the school bus. A few simple steps can help make the trip to and from school SAFER! 🚌🧒

🚗✨ As fall mornings get darker, keep an eye out for deer and wildlife on Columbia's roads! 🦌 They’re most active at dawn and dusk. Remember: slow down, put the phone away, and scan the roadsides. If an animal crosses, brake safely—don’t swerve! Stay safe! 🙌
