A showy, school bus-themed podium that toured the state with Georgia first lady Sandra Deal last year found a new home Thursday at Langston Chapel Elementary School. Officials with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety presented the lectern as a gift to students, teachers and administrators during a brief morning ceremony at the school, as a “thank you” for Langston Chapel’s efforts to promote school bus safety. “We travelled all across the state, and this school, and school system, had the greatest demonstration of education and school bus safety that we saw on our tour,” said Harris Blackwood, the director of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, who showed off the stand and reminded kids of bus safety during the ceremony.
