First Aid with Mrs. Crousser


Today was an exciting day at Unity!  Mrs. Crousser came over from the high school with some of her HOSA students to teach us some basic first aid!
 
We watched a short video on first aid, and then the real fun started!  Some of the HOSA volunteers acted out first aid scenarios to see if our Unity students could come to the rescue!  They did great!

Here, Derick treats one of the high school students for an imaginary case of heat stroke!


Jonathan got to treat a laceration!  He stopped the bleeding and dressed the wound like a champ!

Kassie was presented the challenge of coming to the aid of a choking student!  Mrs. Crousser helped Kassie perform abdominal thrusts to help the choking victim.

We had the best time learning basic first aid and now we are ready to help on the spot when it's needed!

After the presentation, the high school students administered a short first aid quiz.

The class passed with flying colors and proved that they are "smarties" when it comes to first aid.  Their reward?  A smartie from Mrs. Crousser and her crew, of course!
 
Thank you Mrs. Crousser and HOSA for a great afternoon!  We appreciate each of you being so generous with your time!
 
Stay Tuned... tomorrow I'll be featuring one of our students and her amazing art work!
