While most students were sleeping in on their first day of Thanksgiving break, the members of the National Honor Society (NHS) at Mount Pleasant High School were up bright and early for their yearly Adopt-a-Highway program. The MPHS NHS takes care of a two-mile stretch of Highway 271 extending from FM 1734 to the intersection of Highway 271 and Business 271.
A stroll through “Carols in the Park” at the First United Methodist’s Church Ministry Center in Pittsburg will quickly bring back the true meaning of Christmas. Over 25 people have been a part of this event that only takes place every two years.
