SMB is proud to be Joplin R-VIII's Outstanding Business Partner for the month of February.
Thank you, Columbia Elementary School, for your nomination!

Congratulations to Southwest Missouri Bank for being selected as the Joplin School District's Outstanding Business Partner for the month of February 2010! SMB was nominated by Principal Lori Musser in appreciation for their support of Columbia Elementary School.

"SMB is a quiet partner," says Musser. "They don't toot their own horn, and people of the community do not know the huge contributions they make for the kids of Joplin. They help because it is the right thing to do and not because they want to receive recognition. But, they deserve to be recognized!"

"Southwest Missouri Bank is honored to be named an Outstanding Business Partner by Columbia School," states an SMB representative. "We are committed to the schools and students of southwest Missouri. As a locally-owned community bank, we understand that our future is tied to the success of our region, and success is tied to a strong educational foundation. Thank you, Columbia School!"
