When a medical emergency happened on his bus, Joey Cremeans jumped into action to provide aid. While doing that, Mr. Cremeans was not able to relay any information on his radio. That's when Mandy, a student at WHS, stepped in to help. While Mr. Cremeans was providing aid, Mandy was on the radio relaying important information to help resolve the emergency. WCS is fortunate to have incredible employees ready to help in any situation. We are also blessed to have incredibly bright and caring students.
For their actions, the WCSBOE recognized Mr. Cremeans and Mandy at a recent board meeting. Thank you Mandy and Joey!
