Members of Cane River Branch of Magnolia State Peace Officers Association delivered coats to Fairview Alpha Elementary School on Jan. 30. Every year members of Magnolia State Peace Officers Association collects coats and delivers them to a local school to be distributed to children who may need a warm coat during the winter months.

When the weather begins to change and temperatures start to drop the association members do not want to see any students attending school without a coat. Many people may lack enough warm clothing to stay protected throughout the winter, and lack the money to buy that clothing. Members of Magnolia State Peace Officers want to assure students and teachers that the community is aware of their needs and willing to do what they can to ease the burden on teachers and students.
