Once you are on that page, enter "school buses" into the box marked
"Enter your query."
Be sure to type the quotation marks around "school buses" or you will get

School Bus Driver Recognition
We need your
help!
TAPT has begun a campaign to use the attention that has been focused on school
bus driver Joyce Gregory, who was shot and killed on March 2, 2005, in
Cumberland City, Tennessee, as a catalyst for a project to recognize our
nation's school bus drivers. TAPT has enlisted the help of NAPT to seek
support from all pupil transportation employees and all state and national
educational service organizations to request that the
United States Postal Service (USPS) create and issue a postage stamp dedicated
to our nation's school bus drivers. TAPT has created a new web
site, www.SchoolBusDriverStamp.com,
that contains more information -- including a sample letter -- requesting that
the USPS issue our stamp. "Ask your friends,
relatives and colleagues to write letters. The more letters the Postal
Service receives, the better the chance we get our stamp!" says Larry
Riggsbee, Executive Secretary of TAPT.
