With the summer quickly approaching, kids and teens will be looking for jobs to earn extra money. Whether they find work at a daycare, recreation center, or as babysitters, knowing CPR is an invaluable and desired qualification.

The Temple Terrace Fire Department will be providing the American Heart Association’s Heartsaver First Aid CPR June 9, 9 a.m.-noon. The class will be at .

The course will be open to students ages 12-17 only.
