Our Cigarroa Auto and Diesel students had the opportunity to receive hands-on instruction and a first-hand presentation on CPR and Stop the Bleed!
Students learned valuable life-saving skills, including how to respond during medical emergencies, perform CPR, and control bleeding until professional help arrives.
Since our students spend a lot of time working hands-on in the automotive and diesel shops, learning these skills is especially important. Having the knowledge and confidence to respond to an emergency can make a real difference and even save a life!
A special THANK YOU to our school nurses for taking the time to share their knowledge, demonstrate these important skills, and provide our students with valuable real-world learning experiences. We truly appreciate your time and dedication!
Preparing our students with skills that go beyond the classroom!
