For efforts in the preservation of life, Mayor David H. Rhome and the Canonsburg Council presented Nevaeh Ellis with the Life Saving Award. On January 9, 2019 the Canonsburg Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call in Valley View Terrace. 7 year old Nevaeh was awakened with a sore throat. When she woke her parents to tell them, they realized there was a strong smell of smoke in the house which led them to investigate, finding the source in the laundry room. We commend Nevaeh for her heroic actions in alerting her family. All family members demonstrated their fire prevention skills to "get out and stay out" until the fire department arrives. Tragedy was averted and all are safe.

Pictured are some students from Mrs. Hagerman's class showing their penguin projects.
