Thomas Built Buses Donates Money to Schools

School bus manufacturer Thomas Built Buses presented five schools across the country with $2,000 each as a prize for their winning entries in the company’s second annual photo contest.

The schools that received the prize money were Joliet Township High School in Joliet, Ill.; Carver Elementary School in Tupelo, Miss.; Carlisle Elementary School in Boaz, Ala.; Clear Springs Elementary School in Excelsior, Minn.; and Moon Lake Elementary School in Rainsville, Ala

The contest asked parents to submit photo entries that best represented the spirit of the back-to-school season. These photos were then posted to the Thomas Built Buses Facebook page for the public to vote for their favorites. A panel of judges then chose five winners out of the 50 photos with the most online votes, based on specific criteria.

The winners were awarded a donation to their child’s school.

“School buses have always been an iconic symbol for the back-to-school season and the excitement that goes with it,” said Thomas Built Buses president and CEO Caley Edgerly. “We thoroughly enjoyed all of the photos entered in our second-annual photo contest, and we were so pleased to be able to make donations to the winning schools again this year.”
