was awarded a 2013 AAA Lifesaving Award for performing a lifesaving act while attending Carlin Springs Elementary School. On June 12, 2012, a teacher was leading a line of pre-kindergarten students to the bus. One child broke free from the line and started running toward the bus lane. Inmar grabbed the child and pulled her back onto the sidewalk just prior to her entering the lane where a bus was moving forward. Three teachers that witnessed the act stated that had Inmar not reacted this quickly the child would have been struck by the moving bus.
