McArthur Elementary Custodian Celebrated For Saving A Student’s Life

March 11, 2025

It’s no secret that Mr. Anterio at McArthur Elementary School is an angel.

And last week, custodian Anterio Minor was truly an angel for a student that was choking. Anterio is credited with saving the student’s life by performing the Heimlich maneuver.

On Monday, the entire McArthur Elementary family came together to celebrate Anterio as a hero.

    I know that childs family is so thankful for him. Instead of living every parents worst nightmare their baby got to come home because of this man. I’m a mom that lost a child 6 years ago and what he did may seem small to some people but by doing that one thing he saved a mother from a lifetime of tears every single day for the rest of her life on top of saving a life. He deserves to be called a Hero.

    Sometimes in life there is an opportunity to step up and make a difference. On that day Mr. Minor answered the bell.

    Anterio Minor is truly a great person. And a hero to the children in his family, always going above and beyond. And you’re be surprised how many call him Dad even though they aren’t his. He is a very caring person.
