Whelan Elementary School paraprofessional Brenda Baez got a surprise of a lifetime Monday morning as the entire crew from Kiss108’s Billy & Lisa in the Morning show stopped by the school to honor Baez.
The popular Boston morning show’s stars, Billy Costa, Lisa Donovan, Justin Aguirre, and Winnie, all came to the school to name Baez one of Billy & Lisa’s ‘Local Legends.”
Baez was nominated by Whelan parent Annamaria Addonizio-Spiriti.
“I overheard this wonderful program that Kiss108 sponsors, and I thought Ms. Brenda goes above and beyond,” said Addonizio-Spiriti. “She comes to watch my boys' sporting events, even in the summer! She comes to support not just my boys but other students as well. She spent a lot of time and money last year to organize the school 5th-grade talent show, and to this day my son still talks about it.”
According to Billy & Lisa in the Morning, the talk radio team is celebrating their listeners doing great things in their communities.
“Our unsung heroes are Billy & Lisa's Local Legends,” according to Kiss108. “Every week, we're putting a spotlight on a listener to say thank you and give them the recognition they deserve. Be it your kid's favorite teacher, the nurse who is always on top of their game, or even just someone in your life who is doing great work in the community and at home, they're Billy & Lisa's Local Legends.”
Bill & Lisa presented Baez tickets to Kiss108's sold-out Jingle Ball and will put her on their show.
