Vernon Berube, a bus driver for the Beach Haven School, has been named as one of the “Unsung Superheroes in Education” by the New Jersey School Boards Association.

In presenting the award last month, the association noted that Berube “takes care of his bus and the school’s children as if they were his own. He takes time to get to know each student and family, and continuously evaluates and adjusts his procedures to ensure the utmost safety for children.
