Thank You Parkville First Student Bus Drivers!

Posted: 12/23/2011 - 2:16pm

It has been said we shape our ideas, our ideas come to fruition and then they shape us. Thanks to the generosity of First Student Transportation and four Northland area stores, Hy-Vee (64th Street & I 29), Sun Fresh (Prairie View Rd), Kmart (72nd Street & I 29) and Wal-Mart (I 29 & Barry Rd) that is exactly what happened.

The great employees of (Parkville) First Student let their hearts guide them and came up with a very unique way to carry out the true meaning of giving this holiday season. They partnered with Niles Home; four area stores in the Northland were secured and a gift donation drive "Stuff the Bus" was born.

It gets better. On an unseasonably warm day in December, the drivers of Parkville First Student arrived in two buses to personally hand deliver donations of food, clothes, and presents for the children of Niles Home. To unload the donations, we formed a human chain of Niles Home and First Student employees stretching from the buses to the building.

It was a beautiful sight and gave the chldren an opportunity to see first hand what happens when human compassion meets action!

We are deeply struck by the genuine kindness and spirit of giving demonstrated by the Parkville First Student bus drivers and Northland community for all they have done!

University Academy Cheerleaders Volunteer at Niles Home

Posted: 09/15/2011 - 8:35am

The University Academy Middle School Cheerleading Team and their coaches get their hands dirty as they volunteer their time at the Niles Home Garden on September 10, 2011. The girls had an “awesome experience” as Mr. Marty shares his fabulous garden wisdom with them. They learned about different herbs, vegetables and garden techniques as well as how to make tea out of garden herbs. The coaches also reported that the experience was “educational for [the girls] and they appreciated the opportunity to bond with nature, experience team building, and give back to the community at the same time!”

Kudos to the University Academy Middle School Cheerleading Team for caring and sharing. You are so welcome back anytime. Have a great school year!
