Safe Place for ALL!
Sonora Middle was recognized as a Heart Safe School on Friday! This means we successfully implemented a quality sudden cardiac arrest program of awareness, training, and effective emergency response to promote a safe environment for students, visitors, and staff. Thanks to the Nob Hill Fire Department, Central EMS, and Arkansas Children's for their support.
