Sandy Crust, a third grade teacher at Hillside Elementary School on Fort Lewis, saved her nine-year old student’s life. Mrs. Crust often awards her students with a piece of candy. During class, Taylar Lammers, suddenly stood up at the back of the classroom red-faced and coughing. She was choking on a piece of candy. Sandy rushed across the room, turned Taylar away from the class and swiftly performed abdominal thrusts. It took three tries before the candy came up. |

Sandy said “the emotions didn’t hit me until I knew Taylar was okay.” The entire class cheered and clapped for Mrs. Crust and Taylar, even though they were all scared. Because of Sandy’s fast action Taylar was able to take the bus home that day. Both Taylar and her parents are very grateful that Mrs. Crust knew what to do to save her. Sandy credits saving Taylar’s life to the Red Cross first aid and CPR training she received several years ago. You can be a hero to by taking a Red Cross first aid and CPR class today!
