my love of music,” Logan confesses.
“The first bus I drove didn’t have a radio, so I started singing a capella,” he says. “I sang everything from pop hits to some of my favorites from the Baptist hymnal.”
Logan, who says he never had a bad day, gets to school at 7:05 every morning. He says a prayer then heads to the cafeteria to start the party.
Logan keeps his routine fresh with a different tune or dance routine each morning, keeping up to date with the latest hits that the kids love.
“When I discovered there was a Bluetooth-compatible PA system, I got out the mic and started singing to the kids in the cafeteria. They especially love the interactive songs. We do line dances and the ‘Whip/Nae Nae.’ We’ve found that if the kids get out their wiggles and giggles, they’re ready to settle down into school,” Logan says.
Logan adds, “We never know what the kids might have experienced the night before. We don’t know what’s going on at home. But we do know that if we give them a reason to let their guards down, they can re-set and come to class with a new start each day.”
