In this course, kids ages 11 and up will learn the basics of first aid and learn what to do if they are presented with a person who is injured, in shock, bleeding or burned. This course goes beyond just calling 911, and the information your child learns could make a critical difference if they are presented with an emergency in their daily lives! Knowledge of first aid basics is an important life skill that builds confidence as they face new and different situations as they grow. Course fee includes certification (valid for 2 years).

Join us for mythology-themed books, games, crafts, and more! Mortals welcome.

There are two sessions meeting alternate Wednesdays: grades 1-3, grades 4-6.
