A special back-to-school donation came full circle for ESD 112. 🎒

After retiring from ESD 112 on July 1, Ruby Atkins found another way to support local children and families. Atkins, who worked as an ESD 112 school bus driver for 27 years, helped connect the agency with a donation of 100 backpacks and additional school supplies. Amazon and Falcon Logistics delivered the supplies on August 5 through Amazon’s annual back-to-school giving program.

The $5,000 donation will support students and families in our therapeutic and early childhood education programs, helping ease back-to-school expenses and ensuring students have the supplies they need to start the year ready to learn.

We are grateful to Ruby, her daughter Shannon Caseri, and the team at Falcon Logistics for finding a way to give back to the students and families Ruby served for nearly three decades. As Ruby put it, “a smile on a student’s face is worth it all.” 💙
