When a student showed signs of extreme distress, the Pink Hill Elementary staff sprang into action. Led by EC teacher Amy Taylor and school data manager Megan Barwick, they used CPR and the AED that all LCP schools are equipped with to stabilize the student until EMT arrived.

By all accounts, they helped save this student's life. Ms. Taylor and Ms. Barwick were subsequently recognized for their efforts by the Lenoir County Board of Commissioners, the Lenoir County Board of Education and the Pink Hill Town Board.

The student recovered and returned to school.
