Thanks to the quick thinking of teacher and coach Job Gracia, a student’s life was recently saved at Young Women’s STEAM Prep Academy.

When a student began choking, she didn’t display the typical signs of distress, but Coach Gracia recognized the warning sounds and quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver, dislodging a lollipop. We are so grateful for Coach Gracia’s swift action in protecting one of our Lady Warriors. 💗

With Halloween 🎃 approaching, please remind students to enjoy their treats safely and teach them the universal sign for choking, hands clutching the throat, so they can quickly alert others in an emergency. 🚨
