STUDENTS HONORED AS HEROES
Friday, September 21, 2007

The Board of Education recognized Ryan Bardis (Intermediate North) and Anthony Chieffo (Walnut Street Elementary) for their heroic efforts in calling firefighters to a fire at the apartment complex where they live. The boys used quick thinking to call the fire department after they heard a fire alarm and smelled smoke. A policeman and firefighter suffered minor injuries and the neighbor's dog, Foxy, was rescued from the burning apartment. The apartment complex manager said that, "both boys are the heroes who saved the building because they heard the alarm and looked into it."
