A school bus driver on Long Island was completely shocked to learn just how much he means to his students when they surprised him with a cash reward. When Agustine Val stepped out of his car on Monday, he had no idea there had been a lot of plotting and planning underway. It all started when Preston Bowman, an 8th-grader, submitted to the Ving Project which encourages teens all over the country to pick someone who could use a little help. On Monday, Val thought he was arriving to the meeting spot simply to say hello. The father of four from Haiti, who is also a grandfather, was stunned.
