A Whacky Bus Drive
"What will you have?"
Trudy Serres, an elementary school bus driver from Wisconsin, poured her spare time and energy into her favorite activity for the benefit of the children on her bus route.
In fact, Trudy custom made 34 individual crochet toys for each of the elementary school kids on her route.
Trudy has made everything from ice cream cones, unicorns, “Star Wars” characters and dozens more! Each elaborate and tailored to the individual child.
“My kids still sleep with them at night. They definitely love them and enjoy them.
John Londt, Parent
She is the best. She is their second mom when they’re on her bus. She’s just amazing. She does everything for these kids. She’s very loving and caring, and I love her. I am so grateful she is going to be our bus driver next year.

And it all started with a dare...
A Big Taco Fan
One morning, Vincent Lamon, age 10, dared Trudy to make a crocheted taco.
“His favorite food is tacos, so finally one day I said, ‘Fine, I’ll try to make it,’ and two days a later I think I had it done,” Serres recalled.
After the rest of the children saw Vincent's crocheted taco, everyone wanted one!
Trudy, too generous to decline, went down the row of kids and asked each one for their special orders.
I cannot imagine how much time this would have taken her, but I know that she has made each child feel very special and loved.

They would gleam when they saw them. I love children and to see their faces and their reactions -- that’s what makes my day.
