Our Community Foundation has awarded a grant to Washington Community Schools for Washington High School’s Heart Saver CPR AED Course.
The grant will provide for program upgrades that will allow students and teachers easier access to the required course.
“The grant will be used to purchase a digital copy of the course. That will make it much easier for students and teachers to complete it,” says JoAnn Meese, RN, BSN, Washington Community Schools Nurse.
The course teaches participants how to recognize medical emergencies, when to call for help, and life-saving techniques. “With both teachers and students having this knowledge, more lives can be saved should an emergency occur,” added Meece.
The $250 grant was awarded through the Foundation’s mini grant program, made possible because of donor gifts to discretionary funds.
