by Yosef Schatz ('16) This past Tuesday, the 9th and 12th grade students were trained in basic CPR and in the usage of an AED. Charlie Wohlberg ('07), former student council president and current paramedic and Director of Training and Frontline Health, very generously came by with his team to present about the importance and skills, and to individually train each student over the course of the day. He prepared slides, went step by step through the process of CPR, and stressed that without CPR, the person has a significantly higher percentage of dying while waiting for the ambulance. He also demonstrated CPR for the students to watch on a dummy and showed the students multiple videos of real life situations. Students were then dismissed and throughout the day groups of ten students were called down to learn how to preform CPR if the circumstance came up. They learned how to actually perform CPR using the dummies displayed by the paramedics, and they also learned how to use an AED. The 10th and 11th graders are scheduled to receive the same training this coming Wednesday. It was a successful day where students learned an important life skill and one the students will need if, God forbid, they were put in the circumstance. We cannot thank Charlie and his team enough for giving up their time for this critical training!
