Eighth grade students from El Roble ended three days of safety training with the help of members from the Rotary Club of Claremont. The training included CPR, first aid, disaster preparedness, and other aspects to help the students be ready for any emergency. The school’s gymnasium was full of students as the entire eighth grade class participated. In this photo, Rotarian Mike Pearlman shows the proper techniques when doing CPR. The Claremont Rotary first began teaching the classes in 1979, and has since grown into a complete “Together we Prepare” training program.
