STATEMENT FROM BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT DR. TONJA M. WILLIAMS ON GOOD SAMARITAN AND BPS TEACHER ADMINISTERING LIFE-SAVING CARE
BUFFALO, N.Y. (December 7, 2023) – I am so very proud of the heroic efforts of Mr. James Damon, a BPS teacher. His selfless and courageous acts helped save the life of a stranger in need. Everyone should learn CPR; you never know when you could save a life. During this season of giving, it’s heartwarming to hear that Mr. Damon, who teaches at Emerson School of Hospitality, PS 302, quickly and selflessly acted to save a fellow Western New Yorker's life and about the importance of knowing CPR. This act of bravery reinforces that Buffalo is truly a “City of Good Neighbors.”
