Streets around the courthouse were cleaned up last week by a few students from Terry Riley’s class. They were part of a group of 450 Platte County R-3 High School students who performed community service in Platte City. The crew included Brian Fergason, Chris Flenker, Steve Cameron, and Marq Israel. Other crews painted, planted flowers and washed windows.
