When we donated 13 AEDs & held a SCA prevention assembly in 2020, we didn't imagine how proud & honored we would be to witness National School Dist being designated as Heart Safe by Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego Project ADAM. Their commitment to prevention is second to none! #HeartMonth

#NSDnow made history as the FIRST elementary-only heart-safe district in the nation! With cardiac emergency plans, AED accessibility, CPR-trained teams, and community support, every step reflects dedication, resiliency, and hope. #StriveTogether #ProjectAdam #HeartSafeDistrict

Last night we celebrated Mr. Saul @ #NSDnow ’s board meeting. More than half the department “stayed up late” to cheer him on as February’s employee of the month! We #StriveTogether in the Transportation Department to set the standard of service for our community.
