Durham School Services and Petermann Bus Provide Students with Essential Supplies for Back-to-School Season

LISLE, IL, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Back to school season is in full swing, and students across the nation are starting the school year better prepared with the supplies they need thanks to the generosity of our team members at Durham School Services and Petermann Bus. Several locations such as Cameron, Missouri; Kings, Ohio; Talawanda, Ohio; Watervliet, New York; Duval County, Florida, and more, held school supply drives and fundraisers to give back to the community and provide students in need with backpacks and essential school supplies.

A few highlights of the back-to-school supplies drives include:
• Cameron, MO – Hosted multiple Stuff the Bus events to collect supplies for students at the Cameron School District. Kids were also given the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat and prizes and food were also available.
• Duval County, FL – In partnership with local news outlet First Coast News, held an all-day Stuff the Bus event to benefit local students. At the end of the event, a bus full of supplies was gathered thanks to the community’s support.
• Talawanda, OH – Held a Stuff the Bus event to collect school supplies and raised $1,200 to purchase backpacks and additional supplies to provide to five local schools. Several students volunteered to help pack and deliver supplies.
• Watervliet, NY – Held a school supply and backpack drive to give back to students at the Troy City School District so that they can start off the school year strong and prepared.

Involvement in community outreach events such as school supply drives and Stuff the Bus events are carried out as part of our Company’s community outreach program, Partners Beyond the Bus. The program aims to raise and increase awareness of and recognize the volunteer efforts of our teams and strengthen ties with our customers and community partners.

“Back to school is an exciting time for students and their families but can also be a time of worry for some due to a lack of resources. This is why it makes me incredibly proud to see our team members take action to try to help alleviate this worry so that students can focus fully on learning and getting a well-rounded education,” said Tim Wertner, CEO, Durham School Services. “I think I’ve said this a thousand times at this point, but I will keep saying it a thousand more if I have to – our teams are phenomenal, and it never ceases to amaze me just how amazingly generous and thoughtful they are. Thanks for always giving back and looking out for your community.”
