Nick of Time Foundation, in partnership with the UW Center for Sports Cardiology, will conduct free EKG youth heart screenings for Edmonds School District students ages 14 and older. An EKG is performed that analyzes the electrical signals of the heart and the results are reviewed on-site by medical professionals experienced in EKG youth heart screens. A simple EKG can identify certain serious heart conditions that cannot be detected by a stethoscope.

For Brier Terrace Middle School technology teacher James Sullivan, the obstacles presented by teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic became a challenge: What could he do to bring teaching to life for students sitting at home?
His solution: Teach students online how to use tools using a vintage fire truck he was restoring in his home garage.
“I had great participation from the class,” said Sullivan, who returned the fire truck fully restored to its original home in Ipswich, Massachusetts earlier this month after an Ipswich company bought it from him. “Everytime I used a tool, I made a little YouTube video.”
He bought the truck, a 1934 Seagrave, for a $500 donation to retired Whatcom County Fire District 7 firefighters in Custer, near the Canadian border. They couldn’t figure out how to make it run. Sullivan determined that the truck needed a new carburetor. This truck needed some tender loving care because it had traveled from state to state since being put out of service.
Once in his garage, he thought its restoration could be incorporated into his technology curriculum – and voila, the idea to create videos was hatched.
“I decided that was going to be my COVID classroom,” he said.
Check out the Career and Technical Education (CTE) video showing how James Sullivan utilized a Fire Truck restoration project for classroom learning:
