Student Saves Friend’s Life

This is an incredible story … Nicholas Ramos, fourth grader at Jackson, performed a “back thrust” on his friend Steven Jones when he began choking on a carrot stick at lunch. Nicholas learned the life-saving technique in the cub scouts. I commend both students who seemed to know exactly what to do in this stressful situation – Steven for knowing how to let others know he was in danger, and Nicholas for utilizing the skills he learned in a calm and effective manner.

News 12 covered the story and the boys are being featured tonight beginning at 5pm.
