Lessons learned on the road! ​Driving a bus is quite a bit different than driving a car! In this video, DPS President Gregory Perez discusses the different feelings, including weight of the bus, effects of the wind and importance of remaining totally focused on the road.

It's Skoolie Sunday! On June 3rd, we worked hard to remove the seats from inside our bus. This was a tricky process because one person had to lay beneath the bus, holding the nut still while another person sat inside, unscrewing each bolt. For an entirely Deaf team, communication became tricky when we could no longer see each other! To solve the problem, team members communicated by banging on each bolt before unscrewing so the person working beneath the bus could feel the vibrations and understand which seat was being removed next.

It's been a long, tiresome Skoolie Sunday today, June 24th but our team feels satisfied. We worked on installing ceiling tiles and walls for our bathroom while also removing decals from the exterior of the bus.
