CPR & First Aid Training
Middle School students were given the opportunity to receive CPR and First Aid training by professionals from the Good Fellowship Ambulance & EMS Training Institute. They learned CPR, AED use, relief of choking in adults and children, infant CPR and relief of choking, and use of barrier devices for all ages. A very special thank you to a generous member of the Montgomery Community for donating the cost of training for our students. We are so very grateful for our donor's support and for providing this opportunity to our students.

Recess and Winter Coats
Our temperature requirement in Lower School for wearing winter coats (not just fleeces and sweatshirts) outside is 45 degrees. We are outside at various times throughout the day, and your child will be uncomfortable if he/she is not equipped for the weather. It is quite windy on our campus hilltops so it's best to bring an outdoor coat to school from this point on for the season.
In addition, at this point in the cold weather uniform season, students need to wear solid black or gray leggings under the jumpers or 5th grade kilts. We would hate for students to miss the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors because of not having cold weather protection. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! |
