KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.- Students in Mazama High School’s Service Learning Class are helping their school get prepared for a potential future emergency.
The 18 students volunteered their time on Friday to prepare 165 Emergency Response Team (ERT) backpacks under the direction of Service Learning Class Teacher Mary Mateos.
These ERT backpacks provide staff members with everything they need to help during an emergency.
The Klamath County School District says these students took a task that would normally take two days and completed in under two hours.
Mateos says the purpose of the class is to make students aware of opportunities to serve the community and make it a better and safer place.
