“Everyday Heroes”, that’s what Bent County Ambulance called two elementary students who they recognized at the celebration assembly last week. Myra Craig was recognized for remaining calm and calling 911 to get help and for wearing her seatbelt. Eve Tyler was recognized for remaining calm and giving the dispatcher a clear description of the problem to get a family member help. Great job girls, we are proud of you! 👏👍
