“Sherry Sabotka has been our CPR/First Aid instructor since our school opened in July of 2007. She is wonderful. When we call to set up a training she is very flexible to our needs of a specific time and day of the week to accommodate our 25+/- staff. During the training she is very thorough, well prepared and makes it fun as well. She is so friendly and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for CPR/First Aid classes.
Great Job Sherry!!“
