Muirlands: Heart Safe School

Girl Scout Troup 3803 at Muirlands Middle School are going above and beyond when it comes to a Heart Safe school. Selma Hyytinen, Maggie Johnson, Natalie Saham, Allison Foerster and Amber Watt are using the CPR Kits provided by the American Heart Association and County Supervisor Ron Roberts to get Muirlands the Heart Safe School Accreditation. They have spent the past two year to organizing CPR in physical education classes for all 7th graders, coordinating with teachers to also receive CPR training, and finding community partners to assist in teaching CPR. This year they held 3 emergency drills as part of the Accreditation process and have sent in the application. As they move onto High School they plan to take this program district wide to other middle schools during the next 4 years. They recently presented to the District Wellness Committee and to our community partners.
