Ellenville Elementary School students got a firsthand look at some of the vehicles—and the people behind the wheel—that help keep the community moving during the school’s annual Driving Ellenville event.

Students had the opportunity to explore a variety of community and service vehicles, learn about the important jobs they help accomplish, and meet some of the dedicated professionals who use them each day. Getting an up-close look at the vehicles—and even climbing into the driver’s seat—was a highlight for many students.

Driving Ellenville is an annual tradition that gives students a fun, hands-on opportunity to connect with the people who serve their community while learning more about the many careers and essential services around them.

Ellenville Elementary School thanks all of the community partners who took the time to participate and helped make another Driving Ellenville event a success!
