The Queensbury Union Free School District’s Q-munity Bus welcomed about 150 visitors during its first two stops of the summer! The blue repurposed STEM bus parked at Gurney Lane on July 8 and at the Forest Park neighborhood on July 22.
Queensbury school administrators have been grilling up hot dogs and hamburgers and serving chips, water and ice pops as students eat a free lunch, play games, win prizes, take home free books, and play with the innovative technology on the Q-munity Bus.
