For years, school bus driver Herman Cruse would drop off Middle Township, New Jersey, students in the morning and then find ways to pass the time until his next run to pick them up at the end of the school day. Cruse lives too far from the school district to return home between routes, and he wanted to do something more meaningful than running errands, working out or napping between shifts. Overhearing one of the kindergartners on the bus talking about troubles with a reading assignment, Cruse approached the student’s teacher at Middle Township Elementary School No. 1 in Cape May Court House to ask if he could help. It was 2021, and Alex Bakley had Cruse meet with the student to read. The two connected, and word spread at the sprawling school. Other students and teachers requested reading time with Cruse. “It caught on quickly,” said Cruse, 56. “It took on a life of its own.” Since he started reading to that first boy three years ago, Cruse estimates that he has read with hundreds of students, mostly kindergartners and first graders. The students have been dubbed “Mr. Herman’s Kids,” and they view Cruse as a beloved mentor, role model and father figure. Some ride the yellow school bus Cruse drives. “He’s not just picking up kids,” said Principal Chris Paskalides. “He’s just taken it to another level. He really cares about the kids.” A section in the kindergarten wing has been designated as “Mr. Herman’s Kids Corner.” Sitting at a round table, Cruse reads with students one-on-one for about 20 to 30 minutes during their school day three times a week. Students may select a title from a bookshelf stocked by Cruse or a book from their classroom. On a recent morning, Cruse had about 2 1⁄2 hours between shifts and reported for his reading assignments. Cruse listened patiently as Octavia Hebron, 6, read aloud from “I’m Thankful Each Day.” He gently offered assistance when she stumbled over a word, encouraging her to sound it out as she followed with her finger. “Good job! Awesome!” Cruse told her, giving her a high-five. Cruse recruited another bus driver, Dan O’Connell, 70, to help with reading to reach more students. Both men voluntarily use their downtime for reading with students. The school has about 700 students in pre-K through second grade. Sitting on a mini-size chair across the room from Cruse, O’Connell read to students or let them read to him. He chuckled when 5-year-old Melody Roberto-Hammond wanted to read a second book. “We’re not reading them all,” O’Connell told her. “Maybe next time.” Experts say reading helps with language comprehension, vocabulary building and story structure. With Cruse, reading also acts as a relationship-building activity, particularly important with a male role model when most children are exposed to female teachers in lower grades, said Valarie G. Lee, an associate professor in the critical literacy, technology, and multilingual education department at Rowan University. “I think what they’re doing is wonderful. The evidence is in kids wanting to read with him,” Lee said. “Building that foundation early on is really critical.” Veteran teacher Linda Bakley said Cruse has a special knack with students. Sometimes they ask to read with him instead of her, she said, laughing. Some of them refer to Cruse as “Pop Pop.” “This man is loving and caring. The kids feel it,” Linda Bakley said. “The kids do adore him. When they say it takes a village, he is the village.” Cruse reinforces skills that students learn in the classroom, and he questions them about what they’ve read to build comprehension, Bakley said. He also asks how they are doing outside of school, which has built their trust, she said. A grandfather and father of five adult children, Cruse said he became an avid reader at a young age. His mother purchased an encyclopedia set for the family, and he devoured the reference books, along with books, maps and atlases, he said. “I read pretty much everything I could put my hands on,” he recalled. Cruse passed on that love of reading to his own children. He applies the same approach to the students at Middle Township. “I want to nurture every gift these children are exuding in these classrooms,” he said. “Whatever they learn from me, whatever they get, I hope they just go further, do more and be more as they grow.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!

YueLingXi AI Unveils Version 2.5, Achieving Breakthroughs in Technological Innovation and Application CapabilitiesInternational students are assisting local projects following a meet and greet event in the centre of town. Forres Area Community Trust (FACT) welcomed Glasgow School of Art (GSA) students based at the School of Innovation and Technology at Altyre to Forres Town Hall to discuss how they can help while completing their courses. GSA Highlands and Islands campus students attend Altyre for a one-year Masters in Design Innovation - project work is based on collaboration and live local issues. GSA spokesperson, Simon Beeson explained: “It is often difficult in such a short time for students, especially international students, to have the opportunity to meet and work with local groups. “The invitation from FACT to attend a community marketplace was a fantastic way for local groups to introduce some of the current issues faced by the town and possible opportunities for students to volunteer or collaborate on projects with them. “The engagement allows students time to begin planning their main individual research, which will be primarily in next summer.” Mr Beeson, confirmed the community marketplace event was inspired by the work of Nishabh Polke, one of last year’s students - who noted that Forres had a “vibrant network of volunteers and organisations” so proposed bringing the students and organisations together in a marketplace of ideas and opportunities. He said: “Students had the opportunity to learn, with a heightened sensitivity to their local context. Forres groups benefitted from innovative ideas proposed by the students. “The goal was to initiate conversations that dissolve the ‘them and us’ divide, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting social cohesion.” More than 60 students and staff from the Highlands and Islands campus met 20 local community groups including Film Forres, Forres Friends of Woods and Fields, Friends of the Falconer Museum, Forres Area Business Association, Rotary Club of Forres, the Dava Way Association, Trees for Life and House of Automata. The afternoon provided opportunities for the students to learn more about the area and the wide range of projects here. The campus at Altyre estate is a base for research and teaching led by design innovation thinking. The students study for one year on a Master of Design in Design Innovation in one of four specialisms: Interaction Design; Environmental Design; Circular Economy; and Future Heritage. Mr Beeson added: “The event grew from a project last year between a student a FACT. Hopefully in a year’s time we shall be able to see a positive result from the projects students choose to pursue and the impact their contribution can have locally. “Inherently optimistic, design innovation aims to address real world situations with possible new directions.” Film Forres administrator, Ruth Whitfield, helped to organise the event. She said: “It was gratifying to see the students so that we all had the opportunity to meet one another. It gave them a sense of connection and ownership, and the opportunity to meet local groups to collaborate. “They will be completed by July 2025 at the end of their summer term.” Film Forres chairman, Robert Kenny, added: “We showed the film ‘Local Hero’ to the student and staff at the end of the day. The content and storyline were were especially relevant, covering issues such as community, heritage, tradition, the environment, corporate power and responsibility. It also offered a glimpse of Scotland's natural beauty and traditions. “All of which are key components of the courses offered to the students at GSA Altyre!”
