🚑 Hands-On Health Learning at West Minico! 🚑

Last week, our 7th grade Health classes had an incredible opportunity to learn from real-life emergency professionals! Minidoka Memorial’s Ambulance staff kicked things off by teaching students first aid skills. The next day, students got to explore emergency response up close — with visits from the West End Fire Department, Minidoka Memorial Ambulance, and even a Life Flight helicopter landing right here at school! 🚁

Students learned how each of these teams helps save lives and work together in emergencies. What an exciting and unforgettable experience for our Warriors! 💙💛 #WarriorWay #CareerExploration #HandsOnLearning #WarriorStrong

We are incredibly grateful to our amazing community partners who sponsored this year’s Haunted Hustle! Your generosity helps make events like this possible and directly supports West Minico athletics.
