For The Cure...

During the month of October, North Montco Technical Career Center (NMTCC) students sold “Cupcakes for the Cure” and sold various flowers on “Flower Fridays” to raise money during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. NMTCC students raised over $2000. All money raised will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. Thank you to everyone who supported this worthwhile cause!

Heroic Student

This month, Protective Services student, Jeremy Boyce (12th grade, North Penn), had the opportunity to use the skills he learned in the classroom while he was at work. While Jeremy was working at Wal-Mart, he heard an announcement of an accident. He responded to the location and found a man lying on the floor who was turning blue and having heart attack. Jeremy immediately took control and directed 911 to be called. A registered nurse and Jeremy then performed CPR on the man until the Emergency Medical Technicians arrived. Jeremy also assisted with placing the man in the ambulance.
Jeremy has since found out that the man survived this attack. It appears the man had a blood clot in his heart and when Jeremy and the nurse performed CPR, they were successful in dislodging the clot which saved the man’s life.
We are proud of Jeremy for immediately taking action and using his skills to save this man’s life!

Farewell to our friends from Germany

Yesterday, our friends from Germany headed home. Many of the students wanted to stay. Amid tears and promises to stay in touch, our German friends reluctantly headed to the airport. It was a very emotional goodbye but many friendships were made. Our students are looking forward to visiting their new friends when they head to Germany in February 2011.

Cupcakes for the Cure

North Montco Technical Career Center Culinary Arts students baked pink iced cupcakes which were sold to students in the school in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In just two days, students raised over $500. The sales will continue twice a week throughout the month of October. All money raised from the Cupcakes for the Cure sale will benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research.
