CPaRlington Event for All AISD 8th Graders
The Arlington ISD has been invited by the CPaRlington coalition to participate in a world-record-setting event where all district eighth-graders will receive CPR training. A Guiness World Records official will be on hand to evaluate the record attempt.
The CPR training event will take place November 17, 2009 at Cowboys Stadium from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. AISD will provide all students with a sack lunch at no cost. Students will be able to eat lunch at the stadium before returning to campus.
CPaRlington is a city-wide initiative that was created with the sole purpose of training 10 percent of Arlington’s population to administer CPR. In order to realize this ambitious goal, mass trainings are being offered at different locations throughout the community.
8th grade students will receive a permission slip in their classes on Thursday and one is available by clicking on the link below.Please complete the permission slip below and return to campus no later than Tuesday, November 10. Failure to do so will result in your child being unable to attend the CPaRlington event. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office with any questions.
