CPR is a crucial life skill to have when a life-threatening situation presents itself. And these situations can occur at any moment on any day. It could happen while you’re at home, at work, or even while just living your day-to-day life. For this reason, having the proper first aid training will be paramount in preparing you in the event that such a circumstance happens. For 5th graders to practice this skill in PE could save a life someday.

This project will support the needs of all 5th grade students at my school. Knowing basic CPR skills is a wonderful skill for all demographics.

February is Heart Health month. I make students aware of how to keep their hearts healthy. We jump rope and embrace the importance of being heart healthy. With the Manikin and face shields, I could reach over 75 students each year. The Manikin is light enough to assemble in a station like assembly. Students would receive instruction through a demonstration and them they will be hands on to learn.
