At the right place at the right time!

We love these kinds of stories that we get to share with you!

Last week, Clinton Early Childhood Center paraprofessional, Sara Linnemann used some quick thinking and training to help a student in need. 

During lunch, Ms. Linnemann noticed a child was choking. Without missing a beat, she sprung into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver on this child.

We are so thankful for Ms. Linnemann and the training she received to help our young Cardinal!
