Monte Fronk taught a CPR class to participants in the District 1 Wii Du program on Thursday, June 18. Students learned how to do chest compressions on adults, children and babies, and they also learned to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED).
Students who completed the class were Freddie Mitchell, Music Anoka, Tierra Day and Kaitlin Wind. Staff members Kiana Morrison and Katye Simonson also received their CPR certification.

These activities are offered to all eligible reservation service area youth ages twelve (12) through twenty (20). There are no income eligibility limits for this program. Cash incentives and awards are made to any Wii Du youth who meet program participation and achievement goals. For information contact the Department of Labor at 800-922-4457 or 320-532-7407.
