FIFTH-GRADER HONORED FOR SAVING A CLASSMATE'S LIFE

​Cameron McAndrew and Lucas Costa-Carlos, both fifth-graders at Van Zant Elementary School in Evesham, were having lunch in the cafeteria last month when suddenly Cameron choked on a nacho. After Cameron gave the universal sign for choking, Lucas sprang into action, immediately performing the Heimlich maneuver until Cameron’s airway was clear. For their lifesaving actions, both boys were honored in front of the entire school and their families by the Evesham Fire-Rescue… Lucas even received the Citizens Lifesaving Award! LBC was there to capture it all, which led to articles on SNJ Today and in the Courier-Post!
