👏 A Big Shoutout to Joshua H and Reggie P of Manual High School👏
When a parent witnessed a young man have a medical emergency, Joshua and Reggie immediately stepped in, staying by his side, keeping him safe, and calling 911. Their calm and courage turned a scary moment into one of hope and care.
At last night’s board meeting, they were honored with Student Recognition Awards! Thank you, Joshua and Reggie — true RAMILY heroes!
