Alyssa Stanek overloaded our social media with cuteness when she visited our school bus depot a couple of weeks ago (link: https://tinyurl.com/m6j5kr22).
A quick recap: Alyssa, 2, is “obsessed” with school buses. Before she enters preschool this year, her mom, Meghan, reached out to us to see if there was any way that Alyssa could check out one of our buses for a photoshoot.
PCPS’ Transportation staff was happy to oblige, inviting the Staneks to our bus depot off State Road 60, where Alyssa got to run wild and go for a ride with driver Margie Yzaguirre.
Meghan brought a photographer (Kiwi and Bri Photography) and promised to share the pictures when they were ready. Here are a few of our favorites.
“Having these pictures her first year of school means so much … You guys did such a nice thing … I know we’ll certainly never forget it,” Meghan said.
“As a side note, Alyssa still has the bus Margie gave her, still plays with it, and still talks about her!”
*Have you ever considered becoming a bus driver? We’d love to have you join our team for 2021-22!
