Summer is almost over — at least for the students of our local school districts. Most of the schools in the Neosho Daily News coverage area go back to school this week, and on Sunday, Aug. 22, we have special pages planned to showcase the students' first day of school. Take a photo of your children going back to school, and send it to Rick Rogers at rrogers@neoshodailynews.com, for publication in the Aug. 22 edition. Deadline for submissions is 5 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 19. Photos sent after Aug. 20 will not be able to be published. Thank you!
