March is Red Cross Month. During this time of celebration, SW Washington Red Cross along with corporate sponsor Fred Meyer, is honoring Real Heros in our region. Today, we salute the recipient of the Education Hero award which is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.

Heather Stackhouse was working for Hockinson High School as a Para Educator in Leslie Ruby’s classroom.
While having lunch, Leslie choked on a piece of vegetable. Unable to dislodge it by herself, and unable to cough, breathe or speak, Leslie went quickly into a nearby classroom for help.
Knowing she only had seconds to respond, Heather used abdominal thrusts until the object dislodged and flew out of Leslie’s mouth. Thank you, Heather!
