Discovery 7th Graders Learn Lifesaving CPR Skills

Seventh grade students at Discovery Middle School are gaining important, real-world skills through their Wellness classes by learning how to perform CPR and the Heimlich maneuver.

As part of the unit, students were taught proper CPR techniques, including how to administer chest compressions and rescue breaths. They then practiced on both adult and infant training dummies to simulate real-life scenarios.

In addition to CPR, students also learned how to perform the Heimlich maneuver, a critical skill used to help someone who is choking.

Through this hands-on learning experience, Discovery’s 7th graders are building confidence and understanding the importance of acting quickly and safely in emergency situations—valuable skills that could one day help save a life.
