Thomas Built Buses Is Looking for School Bus Drivers who Go the Extra Mile
Children Can Honor Unsung Heroes and Win Laptop Computer in Annual ‘Driver of the Year’
Essay Contest
High Point, N.C. – School bus drivers take seriously their charge to deliver their passengers to and from school safely and on time, but many of them literally go the extra mile. Thomas Built Buses asks: Do you know drivers who are making a difference? Does your driver put in extra effort to make you feel secure on the bus? Or nurture a spirit of giving by help-ing organize food, toy and book drives? Does she know your name or start each day with a friendly greeting? Does he help celebrate special milestones? These are just some examples of heartwarming and impactful actions by previous “Children’s Choice School Bus Driver of the Year” winners in the annual essay contest sponsored by Thomas Built Buses, a leading manufacturer of school buses in North America. “A school bus driver’s primary responsibility is to get students safely to school and home again. The essay contest provides a platform for us to shine a light on drivers who do this and so much more,” says Kelley Platt, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “Many of the essays describe drivers who have become champions, admired mentors, trusted guardians and dear friends, and we want to recognize those drivers in a big way for the meaningful role they play in children’s lives.” Over the years Thomas Built has received thousands of heartfelt essays, from children across the U.S. and Canada, sharing stories of bus drivers’ overwhelming compassion and extraordinary actions that help make their day brighter. “She is like my grandmother, and I even call her nana sometimes,” wrote fifth grader Mauriene Ann, who nominated the 2011 winner, Joyce St. John of Decatur, Ala. A 42-year veteran bus driver, St. John had driven Mauriene’s mom, as well as Mauriene’s four siblings, two of whom had medical issues to which St. John was extra attentive. Now in its seventh consecutive year, students in kindergarten through sixth grade are invited to submit essays of at least 90 words to nominate their favorite school bus drivers. Through words and pictures, students can describe just what makes their school bus drivers so special. The winning essays will be featured on the Tho-mas Built website when the judging is complete. Entries must be postmarked by June 30, 2012. The child who nominates the grand prize winner will receive a laptop com-puter and $1,000 educational savings bond, and the nominated driver will receive a $1,000 Visa® gift card. Grand prize win-ners and top finalists also will receive Thomas Built Buses jackets and Saf-T-Liner®C2 school bus lunch boxes.

BOYS SOCCER
South Charlotte vs. Whitewater (10-0) March 28, 2012
On Wednesday, the boy’s soccer team was triumphant once again with the game ending in a 10-0 win
over Whitewater. Patrick Hogan led the team with 3 outstanding goals earning him a hat trick for the
game. All three goals were from corner kicks made by Oliver Leo. Jacob Culler shot a beautiful goal
from the midfield. Ciaran Traynor brought one up the field and shot it in. Ahmad Jackson sunk one
in off of a penalty kick. Jackson Perry maneuvered a powerful curved shot into the goal. Oliver Leo
slammed it right down the middle for a goal. Brad Scharf dribbled one down to the right side of the
net and scored. Rudy Vargas scored our last shot of the game
with an assist from Ahmad Jackson. Our goalie, Gordon White,
had a nice save in the first half and got to play defender in the 2nd
half as Jonathon Doerer stepped in. It was another shutout for
the Shockers. Thank you to Coach Handy Eugene for a great job
coaching!
The boys will have two away games when they return from spring
break. On Monday, April 9th we play at Kennedy at 4:30, and on
