Franklin Silver Lining Trust Supports School Bus

Franklin Silver Lining Trust has kindly renewed its advertising on the back window of our Farmer Jock Bus for another year. Thank you Franklin Silver Lining Trust and Megan van Lieshout for your support. Advertising revenue helps us to cover operating costs to keep our school bus on the road for the kids of Pukekohe East School.

Six years ago, the Franklin Silver Lining Trust was set up by a small group of passionate, community-minded people to support families in the local community facing a wide range of adversities. The Franklin Silver Lining Trust grants special wishes and offers support and understanding to both the unwell person and their family. Over the last six years the Franklin Silver Lining Trust has helped over 1,000 families.

The purpose of the meeting is to elect an executive team to manage and direct the business of the Pukekohe East School Bus Society.

How the Bus Society Works

Farmer Jock Bus Sleigh Ride

‘Twas the last day of school, when all through the land;
Many creatures were grazing, as the school bus whizzed past;
The decorations were hung from the luggage racks with care;
Because on the school bus today Santa was there,
The children were nestled all snug in their seats;Santa
While visions of prizes danced in their heads!

Today our fabulous drivers Gail and Debbie gave the kids a fun finale bus ride to end the school year. The school bus sleigh was decorated with tinsel and balloons, and Santa caught a lift. The kids enjoyed competitions, singing and spot prizes on their way home.

Gail and Debbie, thank you for delighting our children. The bus society is very lucky to have you. Thanks also to Gail’s son Kane and Maddie for making special take-home treats. Last but not least, thanks Santa for riding with us.
