Friday was Judy Shutt’s last day driving the Pukekohe East School bus and the afternoon bus run was anything but ordinary. Seated on board the decorated bus was ONE News reporter Hadyn Jones who filmed Judy and her kids’ last ride together for his Good Sorts show. The clip will air on Sunday 7th July during ONE News at 6.
Thanks to Jenny Walter who nominated Judy for the Good Sorts slot and coordinated the filming, and to Jenni Harrison who created the terrific banner for the back of the bus.
The next Bus Society meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 30th July at 7.15pm at the school. All parents are welcome to attend the meeting to learn how the bus operates and to get involved in fundraising efforts.
We have a new treasurer, Lara Utatao, mother of Isla and Cleo in The Oaks. Welcome Lara.
