Mount St. Mary Academy
Ashley Bardwell, Laura Larkin, and Delaney Ellis

We are nominating three teachers for their quick and heroic action during a recent school emergency situation. Our beloved janitor, Mr. Al suffered a massive heart attack one morning. We are exceptionally proud of the three staff members who discovered Al, just before the start of our day. Ashley, Laura and Delaney quickly called 911 and began assisting CPR and administered AED life-saving care. In fact, we must praise ALL the staff for their calm handling of the emergency and skillfully sheltering the students from the situation. The students were gathered in the gym, and we explained that Mr. Al had an accident. We prayed together as a community for Al’s quick recovery and calmly began our day. The staff was professional and maintained normalcy throughout the day. Ashley, Laura and Delaney were instrumental in keeping Al alive until the EMT’s arrived. The EMT’s confirmed that their quick action made the difference. We are so proud of our heroes!
