Recognizing Lisa Mullis
Health Aide
Grandview Elementary School  

Tonight's honoree is Lisa Mullis, the health aide at Grandview Elementary School. She was nominated by her Principal Jennifer Baker. Ms. Mullis joined the Monroe County Community School Corporation in August of 2005, and quickly became as asset to the Grandview community. Her supervisors describe her as organized, caring and calm, patient with parents and students, and a colleague to staff members as well as a life-long learner.

A supreme example of her dedication was demonstrated on Friday, September 7, 2007. Her principal wrote, "Grandview sixth graders were outside having an extra recess. During this recess, several students were stung by yellow jackets. One sixth grade student, who has life-threatening allergies, was stung multiple times. The teacher quickly sent him to the health office where Lisa took immediate action. She notified the office that 911 needed to be called. As principal, I immediately assisted Lisa as she moved into action. She went through the protocol or treatment including administering an Epi-pen shot and as a result of her quick reactions, he was able to make it to the hospital in time to receive additional care, and he survived. Lisa, who works for very little pay, is responsible for saving this boy's life. Besides keeping exceptional records, maintaining excellent parent contact, and multi-tasking everyday, she (also) attended additional trainings last year in order to be better trained to care for our three, Type I diabetic children at Grandview. Lisa is one in a million and I believe she should be recognized as someone who has made a difference in our school community!"

Lisa Mullis, you are one of our school corporation's shining Faces of Education. It is a pleasure to recognize you for all of your diligent work and commitment to our students. Thank you.
