McQuistion Elementary School nurse Michele Harold receives the LifeChanger of the Year Award's Spotlight Award Thursday from Butler Area School District superintendent Brian White.

Michele Harold appreciated being nominated for the LifeChanger of the Year Award, but said she expected another school nurse to win.

Harold said she prefers to be more in the background of education, being present as a nurse to help students when necessary. So, when she got pulled to the front of a school assembly Thursday morning at McQuistion Elementary School, feelings about her unexpected victory set in.

“I had not a clue, I'm just one of the nurses,” Harold said.

The LifeChanger of the Year Award is given annually by the National Life Group in multiple categories, and Harold is this year's recipient of the Spotlight Award.
