The quick-thinking of Maiya George saved her mother’s life, and the Rising Starr Middle 7th grader is being lauded for her actions.
When Maya’s mother was choking, she performed the Heimlich Maneuver, which she learned in Meehan Murphy’s Family and Consumer Science class.
The Peachtree City Fire-Rescue Department honored her heroic efforts with an official recognition.
Very proud to have young people like this in our community! Well done, young lady.
