The Mount Ephraim Fire Department, Station 45, was dispatched at 15:27 hours on Friday, December 1, 2006 in front of 602 North Black Horse Pike, the WaWa, for a two car motor vehicle accident. Basic Life Support unit 297, Haddon Heights, came upon the accident moments after it was dispatched. BLS 297 ascertained that they had a two vehicle MVA with one entrapment. Camden County Communications re-toned the assignment and added Rescue 32, from neighboring Bellmawr, as Mount Ephraim\’s rescue is temporarily out of service. The MEFD is awaiting the arrival of the new truck which should be in a few weeks. The truck is currently being mounted with special equipment and having the lettering and painting completed.

Family & Friends CPR Anytime Personal Learning Program

Staff from Cooper Hospital administered the one hour training to the students. Each student received a CPR Anytime kit which contained a personal inflatable CPR manikin-\”Mini Annie\”, CPR Anytime Skills Practice DVD, an American Heart Association CPR for Family and Friends booklet and accessories for the program. The students are asked to instruct five family members and/or friends once they return home.

 

Battle of the Books Competition

Both of our teams from the RW Kershaw School, and 7^th/8^th grades, won the Battle of the Books Competions. The 7^th/8^th grades team won their competition first May 2 and the 5^th/6^th grades teams won on May 9. This is the second year in a row that the 5^th/6^th grade team won first place in the competition. The days of the competitions were extremely stressful for our students. The students showed great composure, knowledge, maturity and made their classmates, teachers and administrators very proud. Over 30 students from the RW Kershaw School competed again this year. This is the fifth year that the Mt. Ephraim district has competed. Each student had to complete as many books as they could out of the 15 titles that were required this year. Also, as part of the team eligibility, students must have attended meetings after school. The students were very proud and excited to display their winning banners.
