8th grader Angie Seacrist paints on a Keith Haring inspired mural Wednesday afternoon in Johnson Junior High's cafeteria. Seacrist and fellow student Noreen Smith came up with the idea for the mural while in Mr. Ed Marin's art class. Smith and Seachrist then pitched the need for the painting to school principal John Balow who approved it. The painting touches on themes such overcoming adversity and being a positive example around your peers. Michael Smith/Wyoming Tribune Eagle
