#Repost @newportmesausd ・・・ The @newportmes #Repost @newportmesausd ・・・ The @newportmesausd transportation team fulfilled an incredible act of kindness in reuniting a beloved teddy bear to its best friend! Newport-Mesa elementary student Allana misplaced her beloved Mr. Bear, her companion since birth. With the help of her family, she asked the transportation team to check if she may have left him on the bus before schools were closed. She and her family urged our team to please help find Mr. Bear and get him home safely. NMUSD bus drivers Scott Parks and Robert Bremmer safely located Mr. Bear. While Allana and her family did not notify us about Mr. Bear until recently, Mr. Parks and Mr. Bremmer immediately found Mr. Bear and realized that he had taken an eventful adventure throughout the district. More on Mr. Bear’s adventures can be found in the Newport Mesa USD website. #kindness1billion
