CPR Training Extended Across Campus
CPR training was recently extended to the entire Poplar Bluff R-I staff after Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital medical professionals credited our athletic trainer and coaching staff this summer for saving the life of a student athlete by using mouth to mouth.
About 85 district employees representing all buildings and numerous departments participated in the voluntary training offered by R-I Health & Drug Free Coordinator Sheryl Talkington and her school nursing staff after business hours in the Missouri Room.
“CPR saves lives every day,” Talkington stated. “We certainly have witnessed that firsthand this year.”
