Forts Pond Elementary wishes to thank Mr. J. P. White for being a super hero last week. He is the husband of a kindergarten teacher and just happened to be in the school when a first grade teacher had a fall. He was able to attend to her immediately, using his military first aid skills. Thanks to all of the other staff members who came to her aid. She is at home resting. FPES is such a great family and you never know when a hero is going to appear!
