Spotlight on Co-Curriculars
This week: PE
Damar Hamlin, safety for the Buffalo Bills, thanked the St. Gabe students for taking the time to learn hands-only CPR and become heart heroes. He explained how lucky he was to have people around who knew what to do when he suffered a cardiac arrest on the field during a game.
K-8 students watched a short video going over the 3 steps: 1. call 911, 2. get the AED, 3. push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
Mrs. Morris did a demonstration using a training AED.
Then students got to practice! They learned the importance of giving specific individuals jobs for calling 911 and getting the AED. If you just say "someone call 911" into a group of people, it's possible no one calls since they each think someone else will.
And then it was time to try pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest. The song "Stayin' Alive," by the Bee Gees, was playing so students knew how fast to push.
Junior high students ended with a video that showed the effects on blood flow if pushing wasn't deep enough or fast enough. They also learned about the Good Samaritan Law, which encourages bystanders to assist in emergencies without fear of being sued for unintentional harm during their assistance.
