Montevallo Elementary fifth-grader Elizabeth Lopez expressed her surprise and gratitude, stating, “I am really thankful for having him as a bus driver, and he feels like a dad to me.”
Principal Dr. Allison Campbell praised Price and highlighted the community’s willingness to step in and help during times of need. She described Price as “an example and a testament to this community and the schools in Montevallo.”
In discussing his motivation, Price emphasized his belief in love and its reflection of Christ’s love. “Christmas is giving. Christmas is showing love. Christmas is esteeming others greater than yourself,” Price shared. His act, even if seemingly materialistic, aligns with the deeper purpose of Christmas.
As students received their sandwiches, Price had one simple request: that the wrappers not end up on the bus floor. In a heartwarming turn of events, the students respected his request, leaving the bus spotless.
