District parents and teacher honored for heroic actions

Walla Walla Public Schools and the City of Walla Walla Fire Department presented Brian and Jennifer Fullen and Brian Richard with Good Citizenship Awards for their efforts to ensure safety and protect property during an Alder Street residential fire earlier this month. On the morning of Friday, December 2, parents Brian and Jennifer Fullen and Richard went to the building to help alert any occupants that may still be inside the apartment complex.

Fire Chief Bob Yancey said he believes the action of both of these men possibly helped save lives and made it safer for responding firefighters.

Superintendent Smith said these heroes serve as good role models for our students as we strive to promote good citizenship each day in our schools.
