Transportation Department Honors Director with Parade

If you heard drums at the end of Patriot Period, you weren’t imagining them.

The Marching Patriot drumline participated in a bus parade to honor retiring director of transportation James Foley.

Decorated school buses snaked through the bus lot beside the school, while the drums kept a steady rhythm to add a festive feel.

Foley, who has served as director of transportation for 11 years, will retire at the end of the year and move to Williamsburg.
