Early this week, all juniors at SHS participated in first aid, CPR, and AED training. When asked his thoughts on the training, health extraordinaire, Mr. Ault had this to say, “The great thing about health class is that what you learn is practical and can be applied to your life immediately. The CPR/AED/first aid training is another example of this. The juniors now have the knowledge on what to do in life or death situations which is so important.”
The training was a success with students learning new, life-saving skills that are very useful. Overall, the training was a necessary thing to teach students.
