House Bill 5 now requires schools to train (not certify) students on CPR prior to graduation. This requirement does not include this year's seniors, but goes into effect for next year's graduating seniors. Therefore, we will be providing CPR training for all Juniors after the SAT test on Feb. 25. Students will watch a video about CPR, then they will each get a chance to do hand compression on a CPR dummy. We are going to be singing "Staying Alive" from the 70's movie with John Travolta to keep the rhythm of the compressions. So, if your Junior son or daughter comes home humming that tune, you will know where they got it!
Ms. Lyons, the Cedar Ridge Campus Testing Coordinator , sent the following message to all Juniors through their school email about SAT testing day.
