Description:
Donna Mead, a Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA)-represented school aide at the Port Jervis School District in Orange County, is being honored by her co-workers for saving a kindergarten student's life. When Mead noticed the boy, Matthew Fitterer, choking on cereal, she jumped into action and within seconds she successfully performed the Heimlich Maneuver on the child. Matthew was so grateful that he brought Mead flowers the next day. In the photo are Mead and Matthew Fitterer.
