The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of St. Thomas Aquinas Senior High School recently identified the pressing need for a bus to support the school’s growing activities. With numerous events and off-campus activities that required student and staff transportation, the absence of a dedicated vehicle was becoming a significant challenge. This need sparked conversations within the PTA about finding a solution that would benefit the entire school community.
Determined to help, the PTA organized several meetings to discuss how they could raise the necessary funds to purchase the bus. They decided on a series of fundraising initiatives, with each parent contributing what they could afford. The response was overwhelmingly positive, as parents, teachers, and even alumni rallied behind the cause, eager to support the school’s mission.
Through these combined efforts, the PTA successfully raised enough funds to purchase a brand-new bus. The joy and excitement within the school community were palpable when the bus was unveiled. The new vehicle, adorned with the school’s colors and logo, stands as a testament to the collective strength and dedication of the PTA and the broader school community.
The bus will now be instrumental in transporting students to various events, excursions, and competitions, ensuring that the school can participate in more activities without transportation barriers. The PTA’s contribution will have a lasting impact, enhancing the overall school experience for current and future students of St. Thomas Aquinas SHS.
