2 min read

The Cape Coral Police Department has honored two more students — one from Caloosa Middle School and the other from Oasis Middle School — with "Do The Right Thing" awards.

Lilly Early, 7th Grade

Caloosa Middle School

Lilly shared information with school administrators that helped them intervene with another student. School administration was quickly able to take care of the situation by informing the parents and providing the student with support.

The CCPD thanked to Lilly for being a shining example of what it means to "do the right thing."

Christopher Leon, 8th Grade

Oasis Middle School

Christopher was a passenger in his mother's car when she told him she was having trouble breathing. Something had caused her to go into anaphylactic shock. She pulled over as her breathing difficulty increased, and Christopher tended to her until he recognized she was no longer breathing. Christopher quickly began CPR while waiting for emergency personnel to arrive. Christopher's quick response and calmness under pressure likely saved his mother's life.

This is the second time Christopher has received a "Do The Right Thing" award.

The CCPD thanks Christopher for being a shining example of what it means to "do the right thing."
