Jontae Minor, a fifth-grade student at Pride Elementary, has gained songwriting and singing skills through class instructors L’Mer Owens and Dewayne GoLightly.
His concentration never wandered nor did his voice crack while in the recording booth performing a solo part for a song the class wrote, entitled “Too Young.”
Breathe, Light of Chance’s community-based youth development program, will host its first showcase at 6 p.m. Monday, May 14th at the Rosenwald-Smith Multi-Cultural Center in Madisonville.
With Get Set Go, children participate in both traditional and nontraditional physical exercises such as zumba, aerobics, kicking, dance and yoga. They also learn new and healthier ways to eat and prepare food. Logan would like to see Get Set Go change lives and dispel myths that healthy foods cannot also be tasty.
“We listen to what the kids want,” Logan says. “We try not to make it like school. We make it real interactive.”
“I’m learning with the kids,” he continues. “We’re learning and growing together.”
