Summary
Elementary Principal Rita Platt reported Jan. 14 that 2nd-grader Levi was recognized by Saint Croix Falls PD and the Chisago County Sheriff's Office for a life-saving 911 call; Platt also described a separate classroom seizure where staff medication and an immediate district notification aided response.
Elementary School Principal Rita Platt told the board that a second-grade student, Levi, was honored after making a 911 call that helped save his grandmother; Saint Croix Falls Police Department and the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office participated in an in-school presentation and award. Platt said those law-enforcement officers visited the school to teach students about 911 and to present Levi with an award.
Platt also described a separate incident during which a first-grade student had a seizure; the special-education teacher and a paraprofessional responded quickly with medication and called 911. Platt noted the district’s new notification system alerted administrators Craig Broeren and Rita Platt immediately, enabling an expedited on-site response, and she thanked staff members Kirk and Derrik for acting as first responders. The minutes record these events and a Polar Party celebration after 131 students completed the winter reading challenge.
