October 7, 2016 Dear Parents/Guardians: We have the opportunity for our students to participate in a Canadian Red Cross First Aid Course for students in grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 called ‘PeopleSavers’ level 3 combined with the Kids Safety First: At Home All By Myself Workshop. Both programs are taught through interactive activities and instructed by Catherine McEwen, a certified Canadian Red Cross First Aid Instructor and Training Partner. These programs will give your child the confidence and knowledge to handle emergencies but more importantly recognize unsafe situations and know what to do. The topics covered in the First Aid course are; what’s in a first aid kit, calling EMS, emergency action steps, scrapes, cuts, wounds, nose bleeds, heat burns, choking, allergies – epipens, and poisons. The At Home All By Myself Course teaches the participants how the rules change when home alone, the home alone checklist, things that the children should and should not do when home alone, and much more!
