A Hero Among Us
Kelly Sidway has been a paraprofessional at Davenport Primary since 2014. Kelly has also been a volunteer firefighter at the Scullville Volunteer Fire Company since 2007. Kelly has been a first responder for many fires and other emergencies within the EHT community.
Kelly read a book to her preschool class about firefighters, what they wear, what they do, and how they are here to help. She put on all of her clothing and taught the students about her clothing items and gadgets. When she put on all of her gear and her facemask she explained to the students that there is nothing to fear when a firefighter is there to help you! She allowed the kids to try on her gear and now many students want to be a firefighter when they grow up and follow in her footsteps!
Kelly showed the students that she leaves her name tag out front of any house that she goes into so that her fellow firefighters know that she is in the house. That way they do not lose her or leave without her. One student responded by saying, "I never want to lose you, Ms. Kelly!" We all feel the same way here at Davenport! A big thank you to Kelly Sidway for her bravery in helping the EHT community both in and outside of the school.
