Precautionary Safety Education at Elementary School Health Fairs

St. Croix Valley Chapter American Red Cross was one of twelve agencies who participated in Stillwater Area School District’s “Elementary Schools Health Fair”.   The goal of the fair was to teach kids how to keep themselves safe and healthy.  Each participating agency tailored their educational topic toward information and training that they specifically provide to the community.

About 300 third through eighth graders at Rutherford and Stonebridge Elementary Schools learned these important health and safety measures through interactive hands-on activities.   Red Cross taught the students about different types of wounds and how to safely stop bleeding and correctly apply sterile bandaging.  Each student then answered a quiz from question posed by each agency.
