|
WHEREAS, Assistant principal Blake Coleman of Anthony Middle |
|
School in Cypress demonstrated great presence of mind in an |
|
emergency when he saved the life of a student on February 13, 2015; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, During lunch hour, sixth-grader Grayson Barger |
|
began to choke on a piece of apple in the school cafeteria; as his |
|
friends attempted to help him, a custodian called out to |
|
Mr. Coleman, the staff member closest to Grayson, and he rushed to |
|
the student's side; and |
|
WHEREAS, Recalling a poster that detailed the Heimlich |
|
maneuver, Mr. Coleman applied three compressions to the boy's |
|
abdomen, forcing the obstruction out of his throat and allowing the |
|
boy to breathe again; after a visit to the school nurse, Grayson |
|
returned to class later that same day; and |
|
WHEREAS, Joining the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School |
|
District in 2007, Mr. Coleman taught world cultures and history and |
|
coached football and basketball at Spillane Middle School until |
|
2014, when he became assistant principal at Anthony Middle School; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, By swiftly and effectively responding to a dangerous |
|
situation, Blake Coleman saved the life of one of the students in |
|
his care, earning the heartfelt admiration of a grateful community; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend Blake Coleman for saving the life of a |
|
student at Anthony Middle School and extend to him sincere best |
|
wishes for all the good fortune he so richly deserves; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. Coleman as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
