Jennifer Volheim
Jennifer Volheim is a paramedic for Wayne Township Fire Department. Jennifer is passionate and responsive to our students with disabilities as well as those who sometimes struggle with challenges in their lives. One example of that was when she responded to a suicide threat of one student late at night. When she found out that non of his family members were willing to go with him to the hospital, she spent the entire night with him so he wouldn't be alone. During this time, she learned how special he was and how difficult his home life was. She rallied her family around him and they all pitched in to provide a wonderful Christmas for him. She regularly checks on him and has made such a difference in his life! This emulates what our 2019 Distinctive Service of the Year Award is about.
