Fifth-graders learn lessons through a trucker's journeys

Daniel Winiarski was 30 minutes late pulling into Roxbury Elementary School yesterday, but he was still met with cheers from a fifth-grade class gathered out front.

That's my Husband! Glad he could light up those kids' faces. This program is not only rewarding for the students, but for the Trucker's as well, and the entire Trucking Industry. I have read some of the trucker buddie letters sent by the students, and these kid's learn from these experiences. It is great to see that truck drivers are helping out today's youth.

It`s great that a truck driver went out of his way to keep a promise to little kids. I`m sure those kids will remember him for a long time to come. Way to go Daniel. We could all learn something from this story.

To Randi Winiarski: You should be very proud of your husband, for a young guy , he`s got a lot of class.
