Tatum Elementary School Computer Lab Instructional Manager Marti Mason signs a pink firetruck as part of Pink Heals as a 10-year cancer survivor.

Tatum Elementary School received some incredibly special visitors and for cancer survivors Erin Lisman and Marti Mason, and it meant the world to them.

Aug. 23, both Lisman and Mason were called outside to help with “crowd control” as a group of firetrucks rolled in front of the school.

Expecting Farmersville FD trucks to park, both paraprofessionals were shocked when they saw pink firetrucks pull up at Tatum.
