Louisville Metro Solid Waste Keeping The Christmas Spirit Alive!
HAD to share this with all of you. It's a true story! Happened yesterday (Wednesday 12/14/16) here in Louisville, Kentucky.
Louisville Metro Solid Waste workers paid a visit to Wheatley Elementary School yesterday. Kids love those big orange garbage trucks folks! No lie! Now why did they show up? Because they care. Do we really need any other reason than that? Seriously! And folks...it was COLD out there (still is)! But the crews showed up...for the kids! Pretty cool, eh? (No pun intended *LOL*)
The school received an email from a parent after the event which I am sharing below...
Today was an experience that I will never forget. When I turned the corner onto the school's street, I was in shock. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I was thinking, are they working on the street? What is going on? They were all honking their horns and smiling and looking like they were having fun just being there. When Xavier and I walked inside the school and were greeted with a sea of men and the majority of them being black men, I felt a sense of pride just swelling so big that I could have burst out into tears. Seeing men from city workers, police officers, teachers, fraternities, fathers, and grandfathers all smiling and telling my son we are here for you. I just can't explain the happiness that I felt!
These are the men that very rarely get recognition on the evening news. These are the stories that aren't told to show that yes, our black men do show up for us. Yes, they do take care of their children. Yes, we have men that do positive things in our communities and simply just care. I just felt so proud to see this and that THIS is the school that my children attend and I'm proud of Wheatley and their staff and faculty.
When I got to work, I had to text my mom and sister about the most amazing experience that I witnessed. My sister replied back that it brought her to tears and she wish she had been there. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated each and every one of those men taking time out of their busy lives to do this for my sons and all the Wheatley children. I just wanted to say, thank you to the Mr. Bunton and all of Wheatley!!
P.S. please ignore any grammatical errors :)
