This Senate resolution formally commends Wendy Boyer, a teacher aide in Canandaigua, New York, for receiving the Liberty Medal, the state Senate's highest individual honor. The measure recognizes her heroic act of performing abdominal thrusts to save a student's life who was choking during lunch at a local school. By transmitting a copy of the resolution to her, the bill acknowledges her spontaneous use of first aid skills learned through a Good Samaritan course. This action serves to publicly celebrate her bravery and humanitarian efforts without altering any laws or policies.
