"He absolutely loves the Steele school students and the school," the school said in a news release.

Rodney Adams was the other recipient in March. Adams has been a bus driver for five years and has spent the past year at Steele Elementary. Adams lives in Steele and attended Steele Junior High School before graduating from Ashville High School.

He is married to Beth Adams, and together they have two sons who are Ashville graduates. He attends church at Bethel Baptist and plays the bass guitar.
