"Mrs. M" -- Ali's bus driver

Something I hadn't appreciated about Mrs. M until the other day. She knows Alison's name! She drives a big yellow school bus with lots of kids and I guess I hadn't expected that she'd ever learn the kids names, and yet, after barely a week of school (and with Alison generally only on Mrs. M's bus in the morning -- she takes a different bus to the JCC in the afternoons) Mrs. M has already learned Alison's name. She's wonderful!
