AED: Saving Lives

Andrea, President of JTB Club

Last year, the Students In Action Leadership Team advocated for the installation of a defibrillator to help save a potential life from sudden cardiac arrest.

Chisom, a 2011 graduate, had loss her brother on a high school basketball court four short years ago. She arranged for a CPR training program for staff and students which has become part of her legacy to Benedictine Academy. Over a dozen students and staff members, including Principal Ken Jennings who Led the Way, became certified in CPR and AED.

This year, Andrea, a Students In Action Leader, is continuing this legacy as President of the newly instituted John Talbot Babbit (JTB) Heart Club. Friday, our new defibrillator was installed in the center hallway in thanksgiving to the John Taylor Babbitt Foundation.
Their club's mission will be AED advocacy, education, and also heart nutrition. If you are a Benedictine Academy family member and are interested in becoming certified in CPR, a training workshop is being planned for the second quarter of this school year. Stay tuned for further details or call Mrs. Michalski, Campus Ministry, ext. 125 .
