As a kid, I recall getting excited at the idea of school getting canceled due to bad weather. Late night watching the weather report, or early morning calls to the school were something of excitement. For one school, they indeed had classes despite the bad weather but there was a delay in when this would start. This meant the school’s provided morning meal for the majority of the students would be missed. This is where Wayne Price decided otherwise.

Wayne is a school bus driver who also works in ministry. He has been driving for about 5 years and received news of the weather’s impact on the school day. Many of the students (about %75) receive school breakfast through a program for low-income families.

Wayne didn’t want his kiddos to miss a meal and be hungry for school so he decided to order about 50 biscuit sandwiches for the entire bus.

“I really did not think about it,” Wayne shared. “I thought, hey this would be neat. I bet they will like this.”

“One of the kids said, ‘Oh, Mr. Price, you must be rich,’” Wayne said in an interview.

“I am not rich. I am in full-time ministry… 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.”

“When the kids go on I said, ‘So, what do ya want? Sausage? McMuffin?’” Wayne recalled.

“I did not think he was going to do it,” one student shared.

“I am really thankful for having him as a bus driver, and he feels like a dad to me.”
