Three students at Lower Dauphin High School were recently recognized by Lower Dauphin Communities That Care and Hummelstown Police for doing the right thing over lunch in the cafeteria.

Amber Abela, Kaitlyn Hoffman and Nathaniel Wolfe were nominated by assistant principal Stephanie Vaughn for their quick thinking during an emergency situation on Sept. 8, 2022. One of their classmates experienced a medical emergency, and, Vaughn said, the trio jumped into action by getting the nurse immediately, notifying the closest teacher, turning the student on their side to prevent them from choking and even running to get the AED located outside the gymnasium. All three students remained calm and listened for directives from the trained staff members who arrived.

The high school juniors were recognized and rewarded with a gift card to Target; a Do the Right Thing T-shirt, pencil and certificate; and a Subway coupon. This month's program sponsor was Commonwealth Financial Associates.

The Do the Right Thing program recognizes students in the Lower Dauphin community who have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments, attitude or outstanding efforts. For more information, contact program director Angela Durantine at adurantine@ldsd.org.
