In a touching Christmas tale, Wayne Price, an Alabama bus driver, is making headlines for his unexpected act of kindness that embodies the true spirit of the season.
A decade ago, Price would not have predicted his role as a bus driver, having transitioned from full-time ministry in 2013. A friend, formerly a principal, convinced him to take on the role, aligning with his desire to work with young people.
“I was just amazed at how quick I fell in love with the kids,” Price shared, reflecting on his experiences driving elementary, middle, and high school students in Montevallo. Despite limited interaction time on the bus, Price recognizes the opportunity to influence and set an example for the students.
With a two-hour delay announced for Shelby County Schools due to adverse weather conditions, Price received a text message on a Tuesday morning. Aware that breakfast would not be served at Montevallo Elementary School during the delay, Price made a thoughtful decision.
