This month Wayland-Cohocton staff were given the opportunity to earn their CPR certification and Narcan administration education for free during two after-school training sessions. WC;s own Ms. Kelly Brittingham taught the CPR class as a certified instructor and each participant left with a safety mask for administering CPR. Connie Terry of the Steuben Prevention Coalition Opioid Committee trained the attending staff in the administration of Narcan to combat opioid overdose. Each attendee was presented with two doses of Narcan, gloves, and a safety mask. Training was organized by Director of Facilities and Safety Scott Manne.
Ag in the Classroom Educator Stephanie McKinley of Steuben County Cornell Cooperative Extension visited third graders where the hot topic was corn! Ms. McKinley read a book about how corn grows and all of the different types of corn and its uses. She brought along some samples of corn as well. The most fun however was playing in the oobleck - which is a cornstarch and water mixture that acts as a solid when force is applied and a liquid when it is left alone. Ms. McKinley also shared that she will be bringing updates to each visit about Lily, a young calf the Ag in the Classroom program has adopted. Ag in the Classroom connects agricultural learning to elementary classrooms through a partnership with the Steuben County Cornell Cooperative office.
