Recently, Trooper Conner Mabie from the Michigan State Police visited Mrs. Koenig's first aid classes at Plainwell High School. Under guidance from Trooper Mabie and other MSP Troopers/Cadets, students engaged in various scenarios to practice their first aid skills. Later in the day, Trooper Mabie shared insights on traffic stops, emphasizing how students should conduct themselves if they are pulled over while driving. Subsequently, students took turns acting as the officer, driver and passengers during a simulated traffic stop. It was a fantastic learning opportunity for the Trojans!
