McPherson County students in grades 10-12 had the opportunity to be trained in situations that involve severe trauma by Trudy Merritt from WCDH. F.A.S.T or first aid for severe trauma is a free course that allowed students hands on experiences in case they are ever faced in a situation of severe trauma. Thank you Ms. Merritt for your expertise and the trauma kits we may use at our school.
Sorry, this is a day late. Enjoy your winter break. Thursday we will do a send off for our State Speech kiddos. Please join us at 3:20 p.m.
