Earlier this year, Bonebrake told Bryan, a fifth grade student, he would do anything he wanted if the boy got his grades up.

Bryan lived up to the bet and more by scoring straight A's on his year-end report card. 

True to his word, Bonebrake did what Bryan asked, and that was to wear the wig while directing traffic in front of Woodstock Elementary School.
