Poplar Bluff, Missouri - Modern Woodmen Chapter 1472 recently donated $400 to Poplar Bluff Junior High School for a campus beautification project.

With the funds, a string of crepe myrtles were planted along the median in the new parking lot by the 20,000-square foot addition of the facility. Lukescaping provided the landscaping services.

Modern Woodmen has supported the R-I school district through service projects in the past, including purchasing playground equipment for Eugene Field Elementary, according to district manager Brandon Woolard.
