TRUMBULL — The phone call came in like any other communication from Frenchtown Elementary School.
But Kate knew something was different right away.
“Every time the school calls, the first thing they say is, ‘Everything is OK,’” she said. “And this time the tone was distinctly different. It was the nurse calling from the school and she said everything was OK, but that they’d had a bit of a scare.”
The school was calling with jarring news — Kate’s son Adrian, a third-grade student with special needs, had choked on his school snack. But quick action on the part of school staff members had prevented what could have been a tragedy.
