St. Mary Catholic Community School recently hosted a CPR/AED and choking class for all 7th grade students. St. Mary Catholic Community School fathers and firefighters/paramedics Mr. Jake Gettler and Mr. Cory Federico assisted SMS nurse Patti Miskus with the organization and instruction of the class. There was a written exam as well as a skills assessment test. “The children did a nice job and have learned a very important life giving skill. They now have knowledge and skills to help guide them until help arrives,” said Nurse Miskus. Riley said she “enjoyed learning the lifesaving skill.” Luca said “it was reassuring that they could save lives, but he hopes that he never has to use the skill.”
