Md. bus driver honored for her bravery on burning bus.

'Students and school officials honored Prince George's County Public Schools bus driver Renita Smith, who pulled 20 children off a burning bus earlier this month and went back into the flames to make sure she didn’t miss anyone.

The scene Wednesday was celebratory as students, teachers and school officials at two schools came together to honor a bus driver who risked her life for kids on board a bus when it caught fire earlier this month.

Students at Robert Goddard Montessori and Glen Arden Woods Elementary pulled out all the stops Wednesday for bus driver Renita Smith, who evacuated 20 children from the burning bus and went back into the flames to make sure everyone was evacuated.
At an assembly, a marching band serenaded Smith as she entered the auditorium filled with kids waving signs that read, “Thank You.”'>>>
