​

Having survived multiple disasters, it is beneficial to our community to have the skills and knowledge to act when faced with an emergency.

CPR/AED only: 3 hours

Upon completion, students receive an American Heart Association Heartsaver® K-12 First Aid/ CPR/ AED Certification e-card valid for 2 years.
