St. Mary Catholic Community School 7th grade students were recently certified in CPR/AED. St. Mary School fathers and firefighters/paramedics Mr. Jake Gettler and Mr. Cory Federico, along with school nurse Patti Miskus, were instructors. The students were required to pass a written exam as well as a skills assessment. “The children did a nice job & have learned a very important skill,” said Nurse Miskus.
“We are very blessed to have Nurse Miskus who facilitates this training at St. Mary School. Who knows? Perhaps one of our students will save a life someday,” said principal Tom Ruiz. All school and rectory staff, as well as 7th and 8th grade students, are CPR/AED certified.
