KENNETT, Mo. (KAIT) - As COVID-19 vaccinations increase across the country, more and more vaccination sites are beginning to put shots in arms.
SEMO Drug Pharmacy in Kennett began administering vaccines on Jan. 28.
Under Missouri’s vaccination plan, the state is in Phase 1B tier 2, which allows for the vaccination of people in high-risk individuals.
That includes people 65 and older, those who have cancer, chronic kidney disease, COPD, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, heart conditions, severely obese, pregnant women, immunocompromised people due to organ transplants, people with type 2 diabetes, and those with sickle cell disease.
Searching for a fun outdoor activity for it’s students, the Moffat County Christian Academy decided to host a “snowball” fight for its K-4 elementary students Friday morning.
The only catch? They didn’t use snow. Instead, they used old newspapers to create projectiles. Friday’s event was organized by teacher Jenna Hawkins.
“Probably the beginning of December, we were trying to come up with a fun activity to do with our kids that would be fun but safe,” Hawkins said.
The school used multiple boxes of newspapers to have the kids throw at each other, while the teachers were wearing various different Christmas-themed outfits ahead of winter break. The school used old Craig Press newspapers to have the “snow ball” fight. They set them up in different cardboard boxes in one area around the playground.
