SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 642
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Kristie Sanders, whose rapid response to an emergency
saved the life of a young boy; and
WHEREAS, Kristie Sanders is a kindergarten teacher at
Brockett Elementary School in Aubrey; on April 4, 2019, she was
in the cafeteria during the lunch period when she became aware
that one of her students, Lincoln McCraw, was choking on a piece
of food; and
WHEREAS, She immediately went to his aid and determined
that he was suffering from a complete obstruction of his trachea,
whereupon she successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver on
the young boy and dislodged the obstruction; and
WHEREAS, Kristie Sanders prevented the serious injury or
death of her young student, and it is truly fitting that she
receive special recognition for her heroic efforts; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend Kristie Sanders on her quick
thinking and decisive action and extend sincere appreciation to
her for saving the life of this young Texan; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
