Nice start to the holiday break. It's been a while since prices have been this low in Smithville!

The MOScholars K-12 Scholarship program is changing the lives of over 6,000 Missouri students this year. It was an honor to meet a couple of the awarded families and answer questions about the program. Thank you to @CEAMTEAM and @AFPMissouri for hosting the event. #moleg
