“It was a horrible situation,” said Theresa Benz. uPrincipal (校长.) Susan Jordan pushed two students out of the path of a school bus just before it struck and killed her. She's most certainly a hero."

   To Benz,whose sons attended Amy Beverland Elementary School,and many others,it came as no surprise that the Indiana principal acted selflessly to protect the lives of her students.

   Jordan died around 2:45 p.m. after a school bus suddenly sped up from a stopped position in the school parking lot,hitting and running her over. Two students,both aged 10,were also hit. But they were safe in the hospital.

   “We’ re thinking it's nothing more than an unfortunate accident,” said Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Kendale Adams. “The bus driver said that she didn t  know why the bus sped up. But just before the crash she saw Jordan push two students out of the way. Up until the very end of her life,she was doing what she did,which was protecting the kids. She was so heroic."

   Jordan, *69,was principal of the school for 22 years and was referred to as a “legend” because of her great leadership and devotion.

   Wendy Osborne,whose kids attended the school several years ago,said Jordan wasn't one to stay in her office. Instead,she walked through the halls greeting students and spent many hours tending to the kids.

   One of Benz’s  sons,Adam,9, said that Jordan called him to the office recently,not because of a problem,but because she just wanted to celebrate his birthday and give him a card and a pencil.

  “She’ 11 always be my friend ,” he said, “even though she lives far away in heaven now."
