but she has a generous helping of common sense.

In this playing scenario, she has about a dozen of her smaller stuffed animals enrolled in “Baby School.” She has the stuffed animal students line up, go to the rest room, get lunch, and learn different skills.

A Christmas service project led by volunteers with Modern Woodmen of America took on a heartfelt meaning this year as multiple chapters came together to support the Baptist Children’s Village in Water Valley an organization that once forever changed the life of one of their own.
Volunteers donated food, essential household supplies, and even a new basketball goal for the children served by the Village. But the project became especially meaningful when Sammy Frank, a longtime member, helped deliver the donations.
