Open Mic #2
This week was extremely hectic. Grades were due by mid-week. Sandy Springs Fire Department visited on Monday and worked with over 450 students teaching them basic CPR skills and giving each student a kit with a DVD and manikin for free. Its a program called CPR Anytime where each person who attends commits to teaching five family members or friends how to do basic CPR. The students were very receptive and participated wholeheartedly in the training sessions. Some of my HOSA students assisted the firemen and provided additional support during the training sessions. Overall the project was a big success.
Hi, Paulette - grade posting times are always hectic and makes one appreciate keeping grades up to date!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about your Fire Dept activities and I can imagine how much your students enjoyed this experience. I also expect that the Fire Dept went away with a good impression from your students and program and that should reap benefits on down the road.
What a great effort in Sandy Springs!!! I love to hear of services like these happining. It seems like some of these are dying, kids make fun of boy and girl scouts and these organizations have alot to offer. The students had to be happy to assist a professional they admire! I have to agree with dr. m in keeping up with grades, I will get one or two days behind on occcasion and that is more than enough for me. If I were to get further than that behind I dont know how I would catch up. I bet you have a great program and your students will reflect your hard work in the future. Sometimes we will not see the effects of our work, but it happens just the same. Ken B
