One of two buses taking Missouri sixth-graders to an annual campout overturned in northeast Kansas on Wednesday, injuring at least 20 of those onboard, including the driver.The bus, which was carrying sixth-grade girls from Pembroke Hills School, overturned when it failed to make it around a sharp curve on a highway ramp in Bonner Springs, about 20 miles west of the city, said Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Howard Dickinson. Their male classmates at the Kansas City, Mo., private school were on the other bus.None of the injuries were life-threatening, but 20 of the 36 people onboard, including the driver, were taken to hospitals for treatment of injuries ranging from bruises to head and neck injuries, Dickinson said."The hardest thing at first was getting the girls calmed down and squared away," he said.
