CPR Awareness


In conjunction with Healthy Heart Month, USD 465 and Winfield High School (WHS) is pleased to announce they will offer the American Heart Association "CPR in Schools" program this month. The Junior Class at WHS will receive the "hands-only CPR" training.  Training classes for students will be held on February 14 and 15.  According to the American Heart Association, the "goal is very simple - to save lives, and to empower Kansas high school students to be lifesavers by giving them the skills and confidence needed to help during a cardiac emergency".

"Bringing awareness about CPR and the idea of hands-only CPR – just starting compressions – will benefit both our students and our community," stated school nurse, Lorri Greenlee. 

USD 465 has partnered with the Winfield Community CPR Project, #HeartSafeWinfield. Members from this initiative will be assisting with the training at WHS. 

The Kansas State Board of Education approved the addition of CPR training to the Kansas Health Education Standards beginning with the 2018-2019 school year.   

School Nurse Lorri Greenlee spoke to the USD Board of Education at Monday night's meeting on February 12 about incorporating CPR into the curriculum at WHS
