Twelve Student Ambassadors from grades 3-6 began their CPR and First Aid training classes this week. Mrs. Johanna Flannigan and Mr. Lee Crosier spent 1 hour with the ambassadors teaching them the reasons behind and the process of CPR on an adult and the Heimlich Maneuver for choking victims. The children began their training by watching a video that depicted a real life situation where CPR was needed to save a gentleman’s life. From there, the children worked in small groups to perform CPR on a dummy. They learned how to determine if CPR was needed, how to get bystanders to help out, and how to do chest compressions as well as breathing for an unresponsive victim. Every ambassador was ready to jump in and practice these skills. Next, the ambassadors learned what an AED is, where ours is located at St. Jude the Apostle School and how to use it to aid in CPR. These ambassadors have 2 more classes before they are issued their certificates of completion for the course. Thank you Ambassadors for working and training to make our school and community a safer place.
