Last week at the ISD #110 All-Staff Welcome Back Event, Waconia Schools recognized our very own Chris Thole as one of the 2026 Essence Award winners. Chris was recognized for his tireless coordination with the Athletic Director and with various members of the coaching staff to ensure that Waconia's competitors across a variety of sports and activities arrive to their destinations safely and on time.

Thank you Chris and the rest of the KBS team for your outstanding efforts and thank you Waconia Schools for trusting us to transport your students!

We're so lucky to be a small part of this event! A few of our team members were handing out snacks and water for all the participants and we also provided transportation to our District 110 schools to get everyone to and from the event safely. What a great day!

We had a great time supporting Special Olympics MN at the Polar Plunge last weekend! Thank you to all the jumpers and everyone who supported our team with donations. We look forward to this event every year and could not have asked for better weather to take the plunge!

We're so thankful for our incredible bus drivers and aids! Your commitment to safety and unwaivering care for the students you transport is appreciated every day, but especially today on School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. We cannot thank you enough. Today is your day!

You may have noticed those white flakes falling from the sky again today! ❄️❄️❄️

That makes it the perfect time to recognize and thank our incredible bus drivers from Koch Transportation on Minnesota School Bus Drivers Appreciation Day!

Through snow, cold mornings, managing behavior and everything in between, they make sure our Waconia students arrive safely to and from school each day. We are grateful for their dedication, care, and commitment to keeping our kids safe. Thank you for all you do!

We were so proud to be a small part of this great event this year! Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers that helped host. Thank you to our KBS drivers that transported students from all around the district to take part in the events. We have had the opportunity for our drivers and our office staff to develop great relationships with these amazing students and their families over the years, and we had an awesome day handing out snacks and giving the kids a chance to try out our corn hole boards. Until next year, we can't wait to be back!
