Bright Yellow Safety Vests for Bus Drivers and Monitors
Our transportation partner asked us to inform families that bus drivers and monitors will now wear First Student–branded bright yellow safety vests as part of their uniforms. These high-visibility vests help families and students easily identify First Student employees. They also support our commitment to safety by increasing visibility during student loading and unloading, particularly in low-light conditions or busy traffic areas.

2026 Girls STEAM Celebration Here at HF
Homewood Science Center will host its annual Girls STEAM Celebration on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. right here at Homewood-Flossmoor High School’s state-of-the-art Net Zero Science Building. This inspiring event will welcome up to 100 middle school girls from James Hart and Parker Junior High for a day of exploration, empowerment, and real-world connection to careers in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).
“Introducing girls to STEAM role models and educational pathways during middle school is
powerful,” said Edie Dobrez, Executive Director of Homewood Science Center. “When girls can
see women who look like them thriving in STEAM fields, they begin to envision those
possibilities for themselves.”
The Aesha Jackson STEAM Leader Award
At this celebration, there will be a cash award of $1,000 cash to a high school student who wins the Aesha Jackson STEAM Leader Award. Aesha is a HF alumna who passed away in 2024, but her legacy of innovation and mentorship lives on. This award seeks to honor her by elevating young STEAM leaders who inspire others--just as she did. Find more details in the flyer above.
