A man fighting cancer in Ohio recently received a heartwarming surprise from the students on school bus 38. Since 2021, Tony Way had listened each school day at about 7:10 am as his friend, Tony McHale, a bus driver for Little Miami Schools, honked the horn to boost his friend's spirits. McHale became a bus aide after he had a pacemaker implanted but the new driver, Randy Hurst, agreed to continue the tradition. After learning that Way was recovering from major surgery, the students shouted and waved as the bus went by his house. The next time they asked about Way, McHale distributed colored paper and markers and the students made get well cards and shouted 'Get well, Tony' as the bus passed his house. "We teach our kids to always do the right thing, kindness, and helping each other out," says McHale.
