Whiz Kids of the Week: Abegael Admete and Grace McCaffery

This week we celebrate two quick-thinking Girl Scouts who came to the aid of a fellow student:

Abegael Admete       

Age: 11      

Grade: 5         

Grace McCaffery       

Age: 10      

Grade: 5         

Blessed Sacrament School   

On March 16, when a classmate fainted, Abegael and Grace didn’t miss a beat. In the hallway outside the school gym, when one of her classmates started to faint, Abegael quickly stood behind her classmate and eased him to the floor. 

Then Abegael, with the assistance of classmate Grace, tried to revive the classmate who fainted.  Grace went to summon help from adults who then took charge of the situation. 

Through their quick thinking and actions, Abegael and Grace both upheld the Girl Scout Promise to "help others at all times."

Thank you, Abegael and Grace, and congratulations on being selected as our Whiz Kids of the week!
