Thanks to our awesome first responders our school is now a Project Adam Heart Safe School! I couldn’t be more proud of this team for jumping all in and being willing to help and learn. They did an absolutely amazing job and our school is very lucky to have such a group as this. If you see one of them today thank them and be extra nice. They had a lot of cardio yesterday :) --Nurse Bain
