The Rockin’ Riders is comprised of fifth grade students who are willing to put some extra time and effort in to developing their leadership skills by organizing and delivering items for the Blessing Box and also planning school wide activities. “Holiday Joy” was the name of the most recent collection drive for the Blessing Box. Students and staff contributed items such as cake and cookie mixes plus a variety of frostings and decorations to be placed in the Blessing Box. A variety of nonperishable items were also collected. The Blessing Box is located outside of the Methodist Church in Indianola and is available to anyone in need of nonperishable items. We hope that you have a very joyful holiday season.

We got moisture. But only enough to dampen my patio deck. That won’t make a wheat crop. For as dry as it is, the wheat still looks amazingly good. If we can’t get moisture, we can at least be grateful for the many pleasant days we’ve had.
