Parents Trust Bus Driver With Their Children Never Foreseeing Him To Hatch Plan On Day School Delayed

One bus driver from Alabama went above and beyond when severe winter weather struck the area last December.

As told by ABC33, a snowstorm moved into Montevallo, Alabama, forcing school officials to call for a late start because of icy condition on the roads. Wayne Price knew that a lot of the kids on his route might be hungry because they rely on the National School Lunch program to provide them breakfast before school starts. With the delayed start, this breakfast would not be available.

So Price took it upon himself to brave the treacherous road conditions and head off to McDonald's early in the morning to buy his kids breakfast. Price bought approximately 50 sandwiches so that each of the kids on his bus would still enjoy a hot breakfast before they settled into school for the day.

Price was able to justify the cost saying that he would easily spend that much just taking his family out to dinner. Price said that the kids were incredibly thankful and could not stop expressing their appreciation.

He told ABC33:

"One of the kids said, 'oh, Mr. Price, you must be rich,.' I am not rich. I am in full-time ministry. I am not rich, but you sit there and think about it, you take your family out to dinner, and you can drop $50 going out to dinner, and it was nothing more than taking my family out to dinner. When it came down to the financial side, it was just second nature. I really did not think about it. I thought, hey this would be neat. I bet they will like this."

Montevallo Elementary School took to Facebook praising the special bus driver for demonstrating the true spirit of the holidays. The smiles on the happy students say it all.

If you need a lift in your day, these sweet pictures will surely get you feeling good about life and the everyday heroes like Price that make the world a little brighter.
