Students return for in person learning

On October 19, the first cohort of Emergency Medical Technician students returned to in person instruction along with their teacher, Mrs. Penny Kelly.  At this in-person class the students learned airway skills that would otherwise be difficult to master in a virtual setting.  Mrs. Kelly looks forward to teaching each subsequent cohort of students on the upcoming Monday's.
