Happy New Year and Welcome Back to Five Oaks Academy!
FOA Employees returned to work with a full day of preparation and training on Jan. 4, 2021.
The day started with a staff meeting followed by a few hours of emergency medical and active shooter training with Proactive Response Group. Faculty and Staff learned how to properly apply tourniquets, how to correctly pack wounds, and learned valuable emergency safety procedures involving active shooter situations on campus and in the classroom. Thank you to Proactive Response Group Team members Andy, Chad, and Tim for this very empowering training!
If you want to purchase a bleeding control kit (like the ones we have in our classrooms) for your home and car emergency use, visit their website at https://www.proactiverg.com/bleeding-control-kits. (If you are interested in donating to the FOA Annual Fund to help offset the costs involved with this training ($150 per person), please visit /giving/make-a-gift-online).
UMed Market was on campus to COVID-19 test all employees as well as the 40+ FOA community members who registered.
The Honey Baked Ham Company in Simpsonville delivered our employees a delicious boxed lunch.
We are so glad to have our Pre-Primary and Primary students on campus today and tomorrow (e-learning for Elementary and Middle School). Everyone will be back to a regular schedule on Thursday.
