September 11th turned into a day of bravery and quick thinking for two Pocomoke Middle School fourth graders, Reign Jackson and ReiJon Canty, as they became true heroes during their lunch period.
In a moment of crisis, when a fellow classmate began choking, Reign and ReiJon sprang into action without hesitation. Their calm and immediate response saved their peer's life, demonstrating incredible composure and bravery in the face of an emergency.
To honor their actions, Superintendent Taylor, along with Sheriff Crisafulli, presented the two students with challenge coins in recognition of their heroism. Reign and ReiJon’s families proudly joined them during the ceremony, making the recognition even more special.
“We are incredibly proud of their courage and teamwork. Their actions are a powerful reminder of the importance of community, courage, and teamwork within our schools,” said Mr. Taylor.
These everyday heroes serve as an inspiration to us all, highlighting the value of looking out for one another. Let’s take a moment to celebrate Reign and ReiJon for their extraordinary bravery, reminding us all of the importance of compassion and action in times of need.
Worcester County Public Schools is proud to have students like Reign and ReiJon, who embody the kindness and care that define our community.
