5th Grade First Aid


Maya applying pressure to a wound on her partner during our practice session: What to do if someone is bleeding...


5th Graders are learning first aid skills during health class.  Using information from the American Red Cross, and other resources, they are practicing skills and discussing different scenarios when an injury occurs. All this is helping students work toward the World Class Outcome of creating plans to achieve personal well-being.  Students are asking excellent questions and organizing plans for different types of injuries. Later in September, Colleen Potton, Life Safety Educator with South Metro Fire Rescue, will present information to our 5th graders about brain injuries and the effects a serious brain injury may have on a person.
