Taos Municipal Schools working with Stray Hearts Animal Shelter for spay and neuter day!
I want to give an incredibly well deserved kudos and shout out to our very own Dominic Martinez, who physically utilized his CPR skills last night and saved a life!!
Dominic has been certified in CPR many times throughout his career, but came to share with me his experience and the fact that his most recent CPR course with us in district was a wonderful refresher and allowed him to quickly respond and take action last night.
Couldn’t be more proud, this is a large part of my “WHY.” It is such an essential skillset and, it brings my heart so much happiness when people can utilize that knowledge and apply it to real life emergency situations.
Strong work again Dom, you are an asset in all regards to our students and staff whom you watch over daily, and a complete blessing to the man that was able to wake up and see today because of your actions 😊❤
