The Jones-Hardy Post No. 385 American Legion and American Auxiliary of Moran gave USD 256 students a sizable boost recently. The groups donated $1,750 to Marmaton Valley Elementary School Librarian Diane Smith, with the funds going toward purchase of a book vending machine for students. Another $1,250 went to the Marmaton Valley High School forensics team, to help fund a trip for students to compete at an event in Chicago later this month.
