In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week we bring you ... Barrett Russell Kindergarten Center teacher Maryann Morrill, who noticed a student had begun to choke and was having trouble breathing in her classroom on March 28. Maryann was escorting the child to the nurse when she noticed increased distress, performed the Heimlich maneuver, and was able to dislodge a quarter that had become stuck in the child's throat. Wow!
Principal Joanne Camillo presented Maryann with a Certificate of Appreciation at the school's April PAC meeting. The Brockton Public Schools is lucky to have caring, dedicated and attentive teachers like Maryann in our schools and classrooms. You rock, Maryann!
