If you’ve ever attempted to walk or drive on black ice then
you’ll know exactly how dangerous it is.This came as no surprise when Shelby County informed parents
that in an effort to wait for it to melt from the roads school would be
delayed. Bus driver Wayne Price didn’t get the message in time. He
had already collected his students, and realised returning them homes would
only increase the chances of an accident. So, he did something entirely
different instead…
Wayne didn’t want to park the vehicle up and let the kids
turn to their smartphones for two hours, so he decided to do something
different to keep them occupied.His actions hardly came as a surprise to officials at
Montevallo Elementary School in Montevallo, Alabama.happen to
know just how cheeky Wayne can be.The children didn’t realise what was in store for them. When they arrived
at a local McDonald’s they must have wondered if Wayne had lost his mind. It seems he simply wanted to treat them all to breakfast biscuits, and paid
for all their meals in place of the breakfast they missed. Let’s put this in
perspective, on his bus there were around 40 to 50 children, so you can imagine
how much the bill cost him. Officials from the school responded to the gesture
on Facebook, saying: “Mr. Price, one of our bus drivers, truly demonstrates the spirit
of Christmas! On Tuesday, when school was delayed due to icy roads and we
weren’t able to serve breakfast, he purchased biscuits from McDonald’s for his
entire bus of students! What a kind act that our students will forever
remember!”
People from all
over the world have flooded Wayne with tributes and kind messages after getting
wind of his charitable act.
