This year approximately 300 Prairie Students will be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Angela Ulferts, RN, helped bring Cedar Rapids Heart to Prairie's Health and Fitness classes. "I had been tyring to get CPR here since I came to Prairie, but it was always way to expensive", said high school Health and Fitness teacher Lisa Powers. The cost to certify each student ranges from $45-$60.
An organization called CR Heart (Cedar Rapids Health Education and Resuscitation Training) is currently working with two schools. This organization runs solely on donations through companies and individuals in the Cedar Rapids area.
Students are responsible for the cost of $3.00. They will receive an American Heart Association CPR certificate for adult, child, and infant at the completion of the course. By 2010, the program is hoping to certify 400,000 teens nationally, ages 15 and older each year.
$3.00 due to School Store by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1st
