Turn On The Best Songs

Rules of the Bus. Here's the story: Meggie, who has Down syndrome, wanted to ride the “big yellow school bus” to Kindergarten. But, the school was worried about whether she could ride safely. Soooo, her mom wrote a song to to help her learn... The Rules of the Bus! A musical friend recorded it and guess what?! Meggie rides the bus every day!! Rules of the Bus song is now available for purchase on iTunes. (Proceeds go to Special Olympics). #schoolbus #rickburch
