Noxon High School senior Haylee Wiedeman had a clear vision for her senior project: To provide the school with vital medical emergency equipment and ensure that staff and local emergency personnel were trained to use it.
Wiedeman raised $1,700 to fund the purchase of essential medical supplies for the school. But she didn’t stop there — she also set out to find someone who could train people to use the equipment effectively. Her hard work paid off last fall, when the first training class was offered to school staff and local emergency responders in the Noxon community.
