tics all together and you

The Kiwanis Club of
Stone County encour-
ages all the children to
work on these character
traits and good citizen-
ship and to believe in
themselves and achieve
their goals.
Paul Rigby, Vice ,
President of the stone
County Kiwanis Club,
presented the certifi-
cates with their folder of
goodies to the March
Terrific Kids at
Perkinston Elementary
and at Stone Elementary
School on March 29th.
Along with a Terrific Kid
bumper sticker for their
parent's vehicle, they
received Terrific Kid
pencils, rulers, buttons,
stickers, and a certifi-
'cate from Pizza Inn. You
could see the excitement
across the gym at Stone
and cafeteria at
Perkinston when it was
announced there was a
gift certificate from
Pizza Inn! It was a joy
to see the reactions of
the second-graders at
Perldnston and at Stone
when their classmates
were identified as
Terrific Kids. Looks
like there's a whole lot
of Terrific Kids in our
second grades who
know how to be
thoughtful and enthusi-
astic!
As Mr.Rigby explained
to the group of second-
graders, we will return
to each School each
month and recognize a
second grade who have
been identified as
Terrific Kids for that
month. He encouraged
all of the students to
display the character
traits of a Terrific Kid,
to be thoughtful, enthu-
siastic, respectful,
responsible, inclusive,
friendly, inquisitive, and
capable - to do their
best in their relation-
ships with others and in
their school work.
Congratulations go to
the children selected as
Terrific Kids for the
month of March, 2o12.

Weekly MS gas prices
Mississippi, Aprfl3o-
Average retail gasoline
prices in Mississippi
have fallen 5.2 cents per
gallon in the past week,
averaging $3.66/g yes-
terday. This compares
with the national aver-
age that has fallen 3.3
cents per gallon in the
last week to $3.81/g,
according to gasoline
price website
MississippiGasPrices.co
m.
Including the change
in gas prices in
Mississippi during the
past week, prices yester-
day were 6.1 cents per
gallon lower than the
same day one year ago
and are 8.3 cents per
gallon lower than a
month ago. The national
average has decreased
8.6 cents per gallon dur-
ing the last month and
stands lo.4 cents per
gallon lower than this
day one year ago.
"Unsurprisingly, the
average price for a gal-
lon of regular self-serve
continues to drop in a
majority of communities
across the United
States," said
GasBuddy.com Senior
Petroleum Analyst
Patrick DeHaan. "The
national average now
stands nearly lo-cents
per gallon lower than
the same date a year
ago, but will we hear an
end to complaining
about gasoline prices at
the pump? Perhaps the
rhetoric will wind down,
but with summer
around the corner, any
sudden increase in price
of gasoline will have
Americans virtually call-
ing for the heads of
politicians in
November," DeHaan
said.
GasBuddy operates
MississippiGasPriees.co
m and over 250 similar
websites that track gaso-
line prices at over
14o,ooo gasoline sta-
tions in the United
States and Canada. In
addition, GasBuddy
offers a free smartphone
app which has been
downloaded over 20
million times to help
motorists find gasoline
prices in their area.
