Earlier this month, George Keverian School second-grade teacher JoEllen Laidlaw responded to an emergency situation with speed, skill and composure, administering the Heimlich maneuver to a young student who was choking during lunch. Mrs. Laidlaw is pictured here receiving a citation from (L-R) Assistant Superintendent Charles Obremski, Superintendent Janice Gauthier, and Assistant Superintendent Kevin Shaw.
