St. Mary's 7th Graders Learn Life Saving Skills

St. Mary Catholic Community School recently hosted a CPR/AED and choking response class for all seventh-grade students. St. Mary parent and firefighter/paramedic Mr. Jake Gettler assisted school nurse Mrs. Patti Miskus with organizing and instructing the class.

Students completed both a written exam and a hands-on skills assessment. They did an excellent job and learned a very important, life-saving skill. They now have the knowledge and confidence to provide help until professional assistance arrives.

7^th Grader, Ayumi said, “It’s a good life skill to have… it’s important to know,” and Mackenzie added that she “thinks everyone should know it.”

St. Mary Catholic Community School in Crown Point serves students from Junior Pre-K (for three-year-olds) through eighth grade. The school’s famous Spaghetti Supper will take place on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. For more information, call 663-0676.
