Fifth Grader Saves Classmate from Danger

A fifth grader named Matthew in Montgomery County became a national hero after bravely stopping a younger student from walking into traffic near school. Using quick thinking and courage, he blocked the path and ensured safety until the car stopped. His heroic act earned him a rare national award from AAA Mid-Atlantic, one of only two kids in the country to receive it this year. Matthew’s actions perfectly embody the spirit of the AAA School Safety Patrol program — kids stepping up to protect each other and make smart, brave choices.
