(From Joplin Schools)We have a new hero in Joplin Schools!
Soaring Heights Elementary fourth grader Waylon Hibbs was recently riding in the vehicle with his mom when she experienced a medical emergency while driving.
Waylon was able to get his mom's phone, call 911, and provide information to the dispatcher so that paramedics could quickly get to them.
While we're sure the relief that came from knowing he'd helped his mom was reward enough, Officer Barchak, our East Zone JPD SRO, helped celebrate Waylon's bravery and quick thinking with a special Hero Award this week, bestowed on behalf of the Joplin Police Department.
