Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. Superintendent Jim Roberts is at the mic again, but this time, he’s hanging up the Elvis jumpsuit and taking on a current pop culture icon.
Roberts urges students to get in one last swim at the “old town pool … before you can’t no more” in a auto-tuned rendition of Lil Nas X’s No.1 song in America, “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
“Summertime is about a lot of things, and that includes going to the creek, lake, pond or pool to swim,” said Roberts, a music fan and Elvis Presley impersonator.
“We had two objectives with this. One was to be sure people saw BCSC in a positive way, and we thought this would be a fun way to get our message out. The second piece is reminding everybody it’s time for school.”
