🌟 Warrior Spotlight: Lisa Cole, Transportation Supervisor 🌟
Today we’re shining a light on Lisa Cole, our Transportation Supervisor, for going above and beyond in a moment of need.
When a parent’s vehicle broke down near the bus garage, Lisa didn’t hesitate to step in and help. Knowing the parent had a child at Weidman Elementary and that buses were already on their routes, Lisa offered to personally drive the parent to the school so she could pick up her son.
It was a simple act of kindness that made a big difference — and a perfect example of the heart and care Lisa brings to her work every day.
Thank you, Lisa, for leading with compassion and showing what it means to be a true Warrior. ❤️💙
