Neosho graduation to be held at Bob Anderson Stadium
Neosho Daily News
Recently, the Neosho School District (NSD) has hosted graduation at the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center at Missouri Southern State University with growing class sizes prompting the move.
Now, with a new turf field at Bob Anderson Stadium, graduation is coming back to Neosho this year on May 13.
NSD Superintendent Dr. Jim Cummins confirmed to the Neosho Daily News he had spoken with the Newton County Health Department about the graduation with the guidance being to maintain distance from other families if possible.
Last year, due to the pandemic, a drive through graduation ceremony took place in front of the high school in June.

Last week was cold, but it has been colder
Wes Franklin
Neosho Daily News
Last week, the temperature in the Neosho area dropped to a frigid 14 degrees below zero (-14 Fahrenheit) at one point. That’s pretty darn cold.
I know lots of folks had busted water pipes, and also had to struggle to keep livestock alive.
However, that isn’t the coldest it has been here.
The record low in the State of Missouri is 40 degrees below zero (-40 F), set on February 13, 1905, in Warsaw, Missouri, according to the National Weather Service. Warsaw is about 150 miles northeast of Neosho. I couldn’t find exact data for Neosho on that date, but it was 29 degrees below zero (-29 F) in Gravette, Arkansas (30 miles south of Neosho) that same day, so it’s safe to assume that the low temperature in the Neosho area was probably somewhere in between.
