MOHEGAN LAKE, N.Y. – The quick actions and attentiveness of George Washington Elementary School day-time custodian, Angelo Alessandro, saved a third-grade student from choking during a lunch period on Tuesday, April 20.
Alessandro noticed that a student was acting abnormally at his lunch table and went to check out the situation to see if the child was OK.
“Once I went to the kid, then I see that he’s not breathing, and the bottom lip was turning purple. He was choking,” Alessandro said. “His mouth was full, he was not breathing, he was passing out on me. I just tried to open up his mouth a little bit and I pulled whatever I could from inside his mouth.”
