            We would like to recognize five Lakemore Elementary students, a community member, and the bus driver for their heroic actions during the evacuation of a Springfield school bus.  On the morning of             Friday, February 17, Lakemore Elementary and Boyer Kindergarten students were on a school bus heading for Lakemore.  The bus had to pull off to the side of the road and evacuate students due to             a fire on the bus.  There were a total of 27 students on the bus – 5 from Boyer and 22 from Lakemore.  The fire was extinguished.  Because of the bus driverŐs rapid response, the studentsŐ             orderly evacuation, and a citizenŐs courageous intervention, no one was injured.
