Teachers Delinquent on CPR Training
A high school senior and Girl Scout Ambassador has taken matters into her own hands. She surveyed her high school teachers to determine how many had CPR training.
Surprisingly, only one-third of the teachers were currently CPR certified, while most had neither CPR training nor experience.
So Amanda has set out to make sure at least two-thirds of the teachers get CPR certified, or re-certified. She’s enlisted the help of a local fire department, and she’s looking for additional instructors who are willing to teach the teachers CPR for free.
In addition to this worthy goal, she’s raising money to buy two defibrillators for her school.
Go Amanda!
Be a Hero. Learn CPR!
