🎉 Celebrating Public Schools Week! 📚 Public Schools Week is an exciting annual celebration that shines a spotlight on the incredible achievements happening every day in our public schools!

This event, led by the National School Boards Association alongside numerous organizations and partners nationwide, brings joy and recognition to communities across Wisconsin and beyond!

❤️ 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!

❗ Friendly Reminder 🏫 There will be no school for students in the Berlin Area School District on Thursday, February 20 & Friday, February 21. 😊 Thank you! Stay warm!
