Additionally, Ms. Lane participated by playing percussion on one of the pieces alongside her former college classmates! 🎶 Overall, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience.

❤️ Happy Heart Month! We are excited to share that the Berlin Area School District is officially recertified as a Heart Safe School! ❤️ Thanks to our partnership with Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory), we have successfully renewed our Heart Safe School status. This amazing program, run by Children’s Wisconsin and the Herma Heart Institute, is dedicated to preventing sudden cardiac death through a comprehensive plan. Here’s what we’re doing: • Placing AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in our school buildings. • Forming a cardiac emergency response team. • Conducting AED drills to prepare for emergencies. • Educating our staff on how to recognize warning signs and implement prevention strategies. AEDs are easy to use and allow anyone, even those without medical training, to provide quick defibrillation to individuals of all ages. ❤️ By empowering our schools and communities, Project ADAM not only saves lives but also boosts our readiness for sudden cardiac arrest situations. This initiative is a tribute to Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old who sadly lost his life while playing basketball at school. Project ADAM is making a difference in schools across the nation, reinforcing the cardiac chain of survival. We extend our sincere appreciation to ThedaCare Orthopedics for their continuous support of our CPR/AED education program! ❤️ Let’s celebrate Heart Month together and continue to promote heart health and safety in our school community!

This event is a fantastic opportunity for Berlin Middle School to showcase our dedication to STEAM education and encourage parents and kids to work together, learn new things, and explore the wonders of these fields. 😊 We can't wait to see how this event will spark creativity and inspire our future innovators and problem solvers. Stay tuned for more exciting details on how you can join in on this enriching experience! 👏 A big thank you to the Webster's Grant Foundation for making this possible!
