Jamestown (CSi)   The Teen Emergency Response Team at JHS will hold exercises on Thursday May 4.

Approximately 103 students of the freshmen class will be participating in a disaster exercise.  The students will act as the responders during a mock bleacher collapse scenario with JHS drama students acting as victims.

Students will utilize their newly-learned CERT skills under the direction of local emergency response agencies and school staff.  The exercise will give students a chance to practice and refine their new capabilities should they need to respond to an actual disaster or emergency event in the future.  Prior to the exercise, there will be a brief graduation ceremony with the students receiving their Teen CERT diplomas.

Due to the large amount of students participating in this year’s class, there will be two separate exercises and graduation ceremonies.  The first group starts at 9:01 a.m. with the second group following at 10:21 a.m.
