CONWAY — It was a slow start to the school year for the popular before- and after-school Project SUCCEED program at Conway schools, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But things are looking up. Jessica DellaValla, Project SUCCEED director has announced the program recently received an anonymous $50,000 donation this week. And she is hopeful the program will be back up and running at all three Conway elementary schools soon.
