O’Neal and Altrusa Forge Partnership
O’Neal Elementary School recently made 100 Christmas cards for Altrusa to circulate at the Northside Nutrition Center through the Meals on Wheels program, plus students created placemats for Altrusa’s annual Christmas party.

The Poplar Bluff District Eight Altrusa has taken an interest in O’Neal since around Halloween, when the members volunteered to oversee the annual Pumpkinpalooza event and helped judge the contest. For Veterans Day, Altrusa assisted students in decorating a veterans wall designed to honor family members who have served or are presently in the military.
