Rylan, who attends St. Marys Elementary School, knew he had to help, so he performed the Heimlich maneuver on the younger student and the quarter came loose, the district said.
Rylan said he learned how to do the Heimlich by watching YouTube videos.
"We are so proud of Rylan's level-headed thinking and quick response to the situation," the district wrote. "Awesome job, Rylan!
