Small hands, big hearts

Hume R-8 kindergarten and first grade students have been busy this week.  Besides working along side the Garden Club to plant flowers around the community, they also found time to design robots made from recycled materials.
 
The school would like to thank the Garden Club for allowing the opportunity and for providing each child with a flower.

MoDOT will start our annual mowing operations

MoDOT will start our annual mowing operations and is urging motorists to be on the lookout for slow-moving equipment.

FUN FACT #1: MoDOT mows about 400,000 acres of grass each year, which is equivalent to 300,000 football fields.

FUN FACT #2: Major and minor routes are mowed in three cycles usually starting in mid-May, mid-July and mid-September.

Between mowing cycles, report grass and weeds blocking visibility at intersections along state roads to MoDOT. Contact MoDOT’s 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1-888-275-6636) or fill out an online form at www.modot.org and click on Report A Road Concern at the bottom of the page.
