Levi Phillips is the Helpful Hedgehog of the Week for March 9-13, 2026. Levi brought his mom and dad to talk to the class about Levi and their careers. Levi’s dad works for a bank and Levi’s mom works for MSU. Students learned how money is made, the safety features included in money and that Missouri is the only state with 2 Federal Reserve Banks, one in Kansas City and one in Saint Louis. Levi likes Legos, Lacrosse, animals, and the color orange.
Students were treated to doughnuts and some paper money! Thank you Levi, Mom and Dad!

On Friday, Greenwood Rho Kappa students traveled to Kansas City to visit the Steamboat Arabia museum. The Arabia sank in 1856 in the Missouri River. Its immaculately preserved artifacts were excavated in 1988 and are housed in the museum. They toured the museum and completed a service project as the museum prepares to move. What a wonderful opportunity for our students!
