Yesterday, Katherine Clarkson, a music teacher at Sangaree Intermediate, accepted the Berkeley County Sheriff Office's Citizen Service Award. Mrs. Clarkson was nominated for this award by the school's SRO after she saved the life of a student who was choking in the cafeteria by performing the Heimlich maneuver. Way to keep a sharp eye, Mrs. Clarkson!
