Middle Bus Driver Honored at Township Meeting

 Cruse receiving Middle Matters Award. People left to right Mayor Timothy Donohue

By Vince Conti

COURT HOUSE – Herman Cruse started driving a school bus for Middle Township in 2013. This year Cruse saw a need and stepped in to address it. When he wasn’t driving the bus, he began helping kids learn to read. Cruse, a father of five from Egg Harbor Township, uses the time between taking the kids to and from Middle Township Elementary #1 working with the students who have become “Mr. Herman’s Kids.”
At the last Middle Township Committee meeting of the year, Mayor Timothy Donohue lauded Cruse. The township’s governing body expressed its appreciation for Cruse’s volunteer efforts by presenting him with a Middle Matters Award. The award was created to “recognize residents for their wide variety of endeavors toward building a better Middle Township.”
For his part Cruse urged others to get involved with kids. With his family in attendance, Cruse called on those in attendance to do what they can to “better the life of a child.”
“They are our future. It is in us to do it, so let’s just do it,” he said.
