Claremore third grader recognized as Outstanding School Safety Patroller

A third grader in Claremore just got a high honor, thanks to her leadership in the carpool line. AAA Oklahoma named Loran Miles as Safety Patroller of the Year.

At Legacy Christian School, students took their seats for a surprise assembly to honor one of their own.

Loran Miles is a third grader who volunteers twice a week as a school safety patroller. Rusty Wallace from AAA Oklahoma honored Loran for her leadership in ensuring younger students arrive at class safely.

"Loran Miles has all the qualities of an outstanding safety patroller."

Her teacher, Penny Keller, says this recognition is well deserved.

"She asks all the time, ‘Do you need my help today? Did somebody not show up? How can I help you?’ She has that great attitude. She always is joyful about it, and she's great with the young kids," she said.

Loran is one of two students from Oklahoma selected to receive the award of Outstanding School Safety Patroller. Although she didn't love the attention, Loran really does love to help others.

"It makes people feel happy and makes me feel happy when I help," said Loran.

And when she's not busy being a leader, she wants to make others laugh.

"Why did the snake cross the road? To get to the other sssside."

A fitting joke from the award winner.
