Jordan Mendoza, bottom, Pablo Pinales and Caidyn Sulffridge, all from Parson Hills Elementary School, howl like coyotes Friday morning with the performance of country and western singer Marshall Mitchell at the school in Springdale. The first-graders were participating in the annual Economics Stick Horse Rodeo that used cowboy themes to teach lessons including scarcity and opportunity. Because of the rain, activities were moved from Parsons Stadium back to the 17 elementary schools that participated.
