Even though school has been in session less than a month, Melissa Squire and Brooke Ballantyne have passed off CPR in their first aid class. When their teacher asked them to come help him last week, they had no idea what would happen next.
"We didn't know it was that big of an emergency," Brooke said.
When the girls got there, a seventh-grade student wasn't breathing and the PE teacher had started CPR.
"We hooked her up to the bulb valve mask, and we forced oxygen into her, and we started doing compressions on her," Melissa said.
Their first aid teacher then told them to get the school's defibrillator. From their class, they knew exactly where it was kept.
"This defibrillator told us a shock was needed," Brooke said.
Melissa and Brooke used the machine to administer that shock, and the girl suddenly started breathing again. When paramedics arrived, they took her to the hospital.
