Thank you Jackie OHara and the Manhattan Fire Dept and Will County Sheriff Deputy Jeff Jerz for facilitating the Stop The Bleed training for Anna Mac staff today. Side note...Deputy Jerz is also an active shooter / first responder trainer and was exceptionally impressed with our method across the district for how we secure our doors during a time of crisis to protect our students. That was very encouraging to hear. Thank you everyone.
Anna Mac ended the week with mid trimester trivia and minute to win it activities. The Chicago Bulls won it all, earning a pizza party and mystery prize. Go BULLS!
