Heroes in and out of the classroom.

During a routine fire drill at Donnell Middle School, teacher Ryan Sprout heard something unusual—what sounded like cries for help coming from a nearby home. Trusting his instincts, he quickly asked a fellow teacher to take his class back inside and followed the sound.

What he found was a neighbor who had fallen in her driveway and had been calling for help for over an hour in the freezing cold. Thanks to his quick thinking, and the swift support of school nurse Mrs. Herbert, emergency responders were contacted and on the scene quickly to help.

These are the kind of people who work in Trojan Country. People who don’t just teach lessons, but live them. People who step up, look out, and take care of others.

Thank you, Mr. Sprout, Mrs. Herbert, and the entire Donnell staff, for being the kind of team our students and community can count on.
