Employee of the Month for Culture / Climate: Mike Pieniazek

I have worked at Transportation for seven years.  I enjoy the different dynamic that each day brings.  It keeps me challenged and looking forward to what’s next.  I am also very pleased by knowing that I have a small part of the education process for the students I transport.  In my spare time, I enjoy cooking new and different foods (eating them is great also). I also spend my spare time reading.  When I retire, I want to spend more time with my wife and family, as well as spend time cooking and reading.

I have been a bus driver for 22 years.  I enjoy interacting with kids.  When you finally get the shy ones to open up a little, it’s a great feeling.  I also like being trusted to do my job without someone looking over my shoulder all of the time, and the six hour lunch breaks are a bonus.  In my spare time, I like baking, cooking, tending my chickens, and reading.  I like to travel.  When I retire, I plan on getting out to see the good ol’ US of A and hopefully learn to sleep past 430 in the morning.

I have worked at Transportation for 15 years.  I love getting to know the kids.  I especially enjoy watching the little kids (3-year-olds) grow and learn.  When I am not working, we all (my family) love going on road trips and cruises.  We love animals and spending time in the barns.  My daughter shows horses, turkey, and broilers, so we stay very busy.  I have a way to go before I retire, so I’m not sure what I will do then.  I guess I will spend time with my kids and family.
