A Free School Bus




I won my first battle with the school district. This morning all 16 kids from our neighborhood who attend Parley's Park Elementary got a free bus ride to school. The great part is the school bus will be free to everyone in our neighborhood from now until forever! And we will be guaranteed spots for all our kids! Check out all those happy kids and parents. Many of the kids had never ridden the school bus before this morning because the parents had refused to pay and opted to drive them instead. One mom said "My girls were up, dressed, and ready to go before the alarm had gone off. They were standing at the door at 7:20am asking if it was time to go to the bus yet!"

WOW! Can I just say, you are amazing! When you decide to make something happen-- watch out!

Can you put that on a resume?

So cool. A good lesson for all the kids (and the parents) that it's worth it to fight for what's right.

Great job, Cambria! I am sure you will have lots of new friends in the neighborhood as they enjoy the free school bus (that everyone deserves but apparently no one would insist on). I hope the girls have a great school year!
