We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Chris Boot, Middle School Dean of Students, for his quick thinking and decisive action during a student emergency at lunch recently.
When a student began choking, Mr. Boot immediately stepped in and performed the Heimlich maneuver, successfully clearing the student’s airway.
Thank you, Mr. Boot, for acting without hesitation and being there when it mattered most. 💚
