We're proud to announce that we've joined forces with Kerlin Bus Sales & Leasing, Inc. to donate a bus to the Baker Youth Club (BYC). This will enhance transportation for WCS students and support BYC's valuable programs. As part of WCS's bus replacement plan, we trade in buses each year. Instead of the typical trade-in process, WCS and Kerlin Bus Sales & Leasing, Inc. collaborated to offer the bus to BYC at a significantly reduced rate. This partnership ensures that WCS students have convenient access to BYC's resources and programs, benefitting their education and development beyond the classroom! #WCSmission #CommunityPartnerships #EducationBeyondTheClassroom
