Mr. Parker has safely logged an estimated 350,000+ miles on route trips alone throughout his career — not including the countless extra miles spent transporting students to athletic events, conventions, and field trips. That is a tremendous amount of time spent making sure students arrived safely, supported activities, and represented our school well across the region.
For years, Leroy has been a familiar and dependable face for our students, parents, and staff. His dedication, consistency, and care for kids have made a lasting impact on our district and community.
Please join us in thanking Mr. Parker for his years of service and wishing him a retirement filled with good health, happiness, and many miles traveled for enjoyment (probably to Branson, 
) instead of bus routes!
Congratulations, Leroy, and thank you for your commitment to Puxico R-8!
