PROJECT OVERVIEW:

                       

                        The Play All Day Parks Program is an exciting initiative to build over 45 new joint-use parks. This is an ambitious goal made possible by strong collaboration between the City of San Diego and the San Diego Unified School District to expand recreational opportunities in San Diego. The initiative strengthens the long-standing partnership between the city and the school district to maximize the shared use of public facilities and resources for educational and community use.

 

                        The Cubberley Elementary School Joint Use Field project includes installation of a new natural turf field with irrigation. Features include a decomposed granite walking and running path, a drinking fountain, security gates, and fencing. The new natural turf field and joint-use features are for community use after school and during school breaks. Students have exclusive use during school hours.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

                        San Diego Unified’s capital projects are funded by San Diego Unified School District’s Propositions S and Z, which are local bond measures approved by San Diego voters to repair, renovate and revitalize neighborhood schools. In addition to renovation and replacement, bond projects include classroom technology, facilities to support College, Career and Technical Education, classroom air conditioning, safety and security upgrades, and other facilities improvements at traditional and public charter schools throughout San Diego Unified.

=?Windows-1252?Q?MEDIA_ADVISORY:_Teacher, _student_being_recognized_by_Ame?= rican Heart Association for student’s use of Hands-only CPR to save a life

Media Advisory from the San Diego Unified School District, Aug. 29, 2018

Teacher, student being recognized by American Heart Association for student's use of Hands-only CPR to save a life

WHAT: A former Golden Hill K-8 student recently used her Hands-only CPR training to save the life of a young relative. The student received training last year from her teacher at Golden Hill, Robin Carby. Carby is receiving an award from the American Heart Association for her efforts to teach this life-saving technique (the student has chosen to be recognized privately).

WHEN: Thursday, Aug. 30 at 9:15 a.m.

WHERE: Golden Hill K-8, 1240 33rd St. (92102)

BACKGROUND:

In 2016, San Diego Unified partnered with the American Heart Association and the County of San Diego to begin offering Hands-only CPR training to students in the district using a $100,000 grant from the County.

The Hands-only CPR training is designed for students in grades 3-12. Most physical education teachers in the district have been trained, and in turn, many have trained their students. In just two years, thousands of district students have received training.

The former Golden Hill student is the second San Diego Unified student who has used their Hands-only CPR training to save a life. In September, Green Elementary third grader Dmitri Meram helped save his mother's life after she bumped her head and passed out.
