These students may be loyal to their NFL football team, but they also adore Trucker Buddy Moss and the impact he has made on their learning experience. While the children are impressed with the gifts and candy he sends them, their teacher, Donna Lavold appreciates the effort he makes in writing and visiting the class. "Generosity of time and his giving nature are characteristic of our Trucker Buddy," she said. "A few weeks ago all my students received a US puzzle that will help them learn their states," she added. Trucker Buddy Moss lives in Mayetta, KS and has been leased to Dart Transit , Eagen, MN for nearly thirty years! He has been corresponding with Donna Lavold's classes for the past three years, and according to the teacher, "Students from previous years sometimes inquire if we are still writing to Mr. Moss and [they] mention how much they enjoyed that experience." has made an impact on these children by adopting their class through the Trucker Buddy program in May of 2003. He is one of nearly 4,000 professional drivers who share their time with elementary classes throughout the world.
