USD 504 Neosho Heights Principal Cindy Sanders shows a recent mural by Joan Allen of Chetopa. Setting the Stage for Success is this year’s theme, Sanders said.  The theme is based on Hollywood and movies and the theme is tied in with lessons with that theme. A first grade class has already read a short story and watched a short movie and compared them. There are decorations and movie posters in each room and in the front foyer of the attendance center. Joan Allen also paints seasonal murals on The Hairloom and Oswego HealthMart windows and also in Riggs Drug at Chetopa.
