Flomaton Elementary School is remembering the 12-year old student that lost his life in an ATV accident last Sunday.
Funeral services are Thursday for Logan Bryant Mitchell.
Flomaton Elementary teacher Shawna Fillmore shares her heartfelt thoughts about Logan, in her own words:
“If the FES school motto were in the dictionary, I would want Logan’s picture next to it. On the first day of school this sweet kiddo held the door for me, and volunteered for all kinds of tasks that he saw and felt needed to be completed. He was an encourager and a friend to everyone. He was bold to speak about Jesus, he was bold to step out from the crowd, and he was bold in that he was a leader.”
