Carterville Elementary students focused on being kind during the month of January. They learned they can be kind by: saying nice things to others, smiling, being happy for others, encouraging friends, offering to help, sharing and taking turns, caring about others, listening when others speak and using good manners.
Those selected for Students of the Month are: (BACK) Addie, Paisley, Cason, Layla, Kalli, Matthew, Ryan. (FRONT) Joselynn, Scarlett, Daniella, Kaenan, Olivia, Kennadie and Duck. – Lauren Thompson photo

Red Cross blood donors normally have to register ahead of time, but the need for all blood types is so desperate that walk-ins are now welcome.
As an additional incentive, all donors will receive a $20 Amazon gift card.
The next local blood drive will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 15, at the Joplin Public Library.
Appointments are available online.
