The Ferguson-Florissant School District Board of Education too take time to honor the accomplishments of students and staff at its 7 p.m. monthly board meeting on , Feb. 9.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Jeff Spiegel said he believes the recognitions are a good reminder to the board and district as a whole about the reason they exist \u2013 to serve students. He added, \u201cIt also gives us an opportunity to smile before we address routine board business.\u201d The following list of board recognitions:<\/p>\n
Sean Bradford\u2019s Quick Actions Save Fellow Student.<\/strong> The board recognizes Sean Bradford, a seventh-grader at Ferguson Middle School, for giving classmate Keyshon Wright abdominal thrusts and back blows when Keyshon choked on a potato chip during lunch last month. Sean\u2019s quick actions may have saved Keyshon’s life. This is not the first time Sean has come to the rescue.<\/p>\n \u201cI had to use it a couple of years ago on my little brother who was choking on a hot dog,\u201d Sean said. He learned the lifesaving technique, formerly known as the Heimlich maneuver, from a paramedic. Sean plans to continue to help people in emergency situations by serving in the military and becoming a firefighter when he grows up.<\/p>\n McCluer’s Theatre Troupe Earns Honors, Again.<\/strong> The board congratulates McCluer (MC) High School\u2019s Thespian Troupe 787 on being named an honor troupe for the sixth year in a row at the Missouri State Thespian Conference. Because of its challenging requirements, only one percent of the state’s troupes receive this prestigious honor. MC’s troupe includes sophomores Taylor Keune, Dereis Lambert and Adrienne Thompson; juniors Allexus Harris, Jade Hillery, Melanie McCray, Brianna Reed and Tianna Reed; and seniors Temeeka Glass, Terriaun Johnson, Alex Lowery and Sammekia McDole. Dereis and Jade also won accolades for their first-place “superior” rated performance of “A Raisin in the Sun.” The pair will go on to represent Missouri at the National Thespian Convention in Lincoln, Neb. in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ferguson-Florissant School District Board of Education too take time to honor the accomplishments of students and staff at its 7 p.m. monthly board meeting on , Feb. 9.
