CONWAY — “You matter” was the message that motivational speaker Bobby Petrocelli shared with Kennett High students and staff during a 40-minute presentation in Gary Millen Stadium on Wednesday morning.

Petrocelli, nephew of Boston Red Sox great Rico Petrocelli, shared with the Eagles his path to Conway, overcoming personal loss and the importance of believing in yourself. He mixed in a little humor along the way and even got the hometown flock to sing the “SpongeBob SquarePants” theme song.
