Help prepare local 4th graders for Life’s Bumps and Bruises!

The American Red Cross needs 50 volunteers to teach basic first aid for the Basic Aid Training (BAT) program. This year, the Red Cross will teach over 1,000 students in the 4th grade in Topeka, Emporia and Manhattan schools the basics of first aid:
- Check-Call-Care – responding to emergencies
- Rescue Breathing – What to do when someone is not breathing
- Ways to prevent and respond to choking emergencies
- Prevention of wounds and first aid for wounds, nosebleeds, fractures, etc.
- Prevention and emergency measures for fires and burns
- Prevention and first aid for poisoning
No teaching experience is necessary and certification in CPR/AED and First aid is not required. Volunteer assignments will require daytime availability and a time commitment of at least 2.5 hours for each class. Volunteers can teach one class or more. The choice is yours. There will be a one hour training for all BAT instructors.
Contact Sharita Davis at (785) 354-9224 or davissha@usa.redcross.org for more information.
