CONWAY — The last day of school is here for students in SAU 9, and for the first time in three years, it will feel normal when they are dismissed.
“It’s been so nice,” John H. Fuller Elementary Principal Danielle Nutting said Wednesday. “The last couple of weeks have felt very normal, and on Friday, we’ll have our traditional end-of-year celebration.”
