The Teen Living Class was honored to have Jennifer
and Terry Cochran as guest teachers this past week. Jennifer is in the
process of being certified as an EMT and she gracious accepted the offer
to instruct the 8th grade class. For four days Jennifer taught the
students how to secure a scene, basic first aid, the Heimlich maneuver,
how to safely move a victim and the basics of CPR. The students were excited
when Jennifer brought the mannequins from St. Mary’s Hospital for them
to practice their CPR skills. The students loved the hands on activities
and found out very quickly that it takes lots of practice to correctly
execute the 1st aid skills. The students would like to thank Jennifer
and Terry for sharing their expertise. Shown in the top photo are
Jennifer and Terry Cochran demonstrating the proper way to roll and victim.
In the lower photo the girls display their splinting skills.
