While teaching a kindergarten class, Carlee Ramirez noticed one of her students with a panicked look on her face. 5-year-old Charlie was holding a lollipop stick in her hand, without the candy at the end. Realizing that she was choking on the candy, Carlee sprung into action and administered back blows and several abdominal thrusts until Charlie finally put out the candy. “I look back and it was a very scary day. You think you won’t know what to do, but then you just do it,” she said. "I feel so proud and thankful that I knew what to do.” For her act of heroism, Carlee received a Certificate of Extraordinary Personal Action from RedCross_Michigan at a school board meeting, where her fellow teachers, students, friends and family were all in attendance. Congratulations, Carlee! ❤️ #RedCross #LifesavingAwards
