School bus driver Wayne Price had already picked up several students last week in Montevallo, Alabama, when he got a message notifying him that school was going to open late due to an ice storm.
Many of the kids in the school district get free or reduced breakfast and lunch at school, and Price was concerned that they were going to miss a meal. He didn't want anyone to go hungry, so he drove to a nearby McDonald's and bought every kid on the bus a sausage biscuit. In total, he bought about 50 breakfasts. "I did not think he was going to do it," fifth grader Elizabeth Lopez told ABC 33. "I am really thankful for having him as a bus driver, and he feels like a dad to me."
