The Craig/South Holt elementary volleyball practice that is normally held on Wednesdays after school at Craig, will be held on Thursday, September 24, for this week only. Practice will conclude at 4:45 pm as normal. If you have any questions, please reach out to coaches Rachel or Katie.

Just wanted to update the Craig R-III community. In the last hour, one of our LHLC caregivers passed out and we called the ambulance out of an abundance of caution. All the children are safe and the emergency is over. The children had several adult supports all around during this incident.

We want to thank the quick response of our emergency responders, the professionalism of our caring and trained staff, and the various levels of people who helped make a scary episode a testament to the great people we have in our community and district.

The day is back to normal; no worries whatsoever; all connected parties are being communicated with as necessary.

Thanks for your concern as we work through this sensitive employee situation.

Direct any calls or concerns to Dr. Matt Copeland 660-341-3844
