Students in the West Hempstead and Mineola school districts were taught CPR Wednesday as part of a program by the American Heart Association

Those who participated received a CPR & First Aid Anywhere Training Kit, which contains inflatable mannequins, AED training simulators, training DVDs and lesson plans.

Local tax and accounting services firm - DSJ Advisory Group - provided the funds to make the kits possible.

The physical education teachers taught the students how to perform CPR with the kits they received.
