FS Team, On behalf of our District, and the over 4500 students and staff that attended the event, I want to THANK YOU for all of your work today. The event was a total success and buses flowed incredibly smoothly. A big recognition needs to go to Jennifer Adams, Teresa Carmona, and Jeanann Dyer as they did a lot of the pre-planning for this to ensure that it was a success. Your preparation and diligence truly showed today. Also, please extend our gratitude to all of the members of the Safety Team that helped guide buses and students. Also, please apologize on my behalf for getting a little snippy!  Attached are some pictures sent by our Strategic Communications Office that truly show the magnitude of our work today. You should all be proud, as your hard work allowed for 4500 of our students to take part in the coolest thing to come to our City in a long time.

Wichita Students Take In a NCAA March Madness Practice

Opening Night was great. I want to commend the school bus drivers who made the remote parking experience actually pleasant. The previous arrangement was okay, based on two experiences, but I really dug the ordinary-folks positive attitude of the drivers and dispatchers. The parking company that handled the new remote lot was great, too. Nice sense of humor, y'all.

Chicago Cubs Parking Shuttle-Mark Eckel

Three times a year, we take our younger children and teens out for a fun day at a local venue. We have the children gather at 7:00 a.m. to board buses on a Sunday morning from the church to the venue and return at 10:00 a.m.. Early hours on a Sunday. This trip was made especially pleasant by our (your) driver Joe from First Student Charter Berlin. Joe was smiling, warm and welcoming to our excited youth, even at that hour of the morning. Joe made sure that we knew how to reach him if he had to move the bus and there was an emergency. His driving was exceptional. His all around service was terrific. I hope we have him again in August! Thank you Joe! Thank you First Student Berlin!
