Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Junior High Students Ready to Protect the Flock!

Since 2013, there have been over 434 school shootings in America – an average of nearly one per week.  On Tuesday, November 19th, 84 junior high school students and staff from Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School & Church received the knowledge, skills and abilities to better survive an active killer event. Conducted by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) and the Arizona Church Security Network, ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) is a set of proactive, options-based strategies, that increase church members’ chances of survival and bridge the gap between the time a violent event begins and law enforcement arrives. These participants learned and experienced the decisive advantages of proactive vs. passive response strategies via numerous live scenario drills and Bleeding Control interventions and are now empowered to help save lives!
