Humble
Why are you nominating this person?
During afternoon bus duty, one of our buses was delayed in leaving campus. I investigated and found that one of our bus monitors was having a medical event. The bus could not leave without the monitor, and so our students were being held up. Shauna Turnbull and Melinda Cordell came to Trails, and helped stabilize the bus monitor. Turnbull then got on the bus so that we could get our students home. Melinda Cordell helped me get the monitor off the bus, give them medicine, and get them back to the bus barn. Officer Jumper was a big help as well too. These folks are the salt of the earth.
