Project Prevent visited the Intermediate school today to deliver an anti-vaping presentation to our current 5th-grade students! The presentation aimed to educate students about the dangers of vaping and help them make informed decisions about their health. Project Prevent at DMS is dedicated to promoting a safe and vape-free environment for our school community!
Today, Mr. Tim Tanner with Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center Presented Bleed Control Basics to our 8th-grade students. Each student learned the importance of receiving this training, the ABCs of bleeding—including Alert, Bleeding, and Compression—and participated in the application of a tourniquet and wound packing.
