Today’s Positive Story

The School Bus Driver Who Gave More Than Rides For over 50 years.

Mr. Clayton Ward, a school bus driver in Tennessee, did more than just transport kids to school - he became a mentor, a friend, and a lifesaver for many students.

One winter, a young boy on his route came to the bus stop without a coat. When Clayton asked him about it, the child shrugged and said his family couldn’t afford one. Instead of just feeling sorry, Clayton took action. That evening, he went out and bought a warm coat for the boy.

Word spread, and soon, Clayton started collecting donations - coats, gloves, and hats - for any child in need. Over the years, he personally provided hundreds of students with winter gear, school supplies, and even snacks to make sure no child on his bus felt forgotten.

When he retired, dozens of former students returned to thank him, many saying that his small acts of kindness had changed their lives. His generosity proved that sometimes, the people who quietly show up every day can make the biggest impact.

"You don’t have to be rich to give - just willing to care."
