CONWAY — On June 11, the SAU 9 and SAU 13 Joint Board members got to hear directly from their main constituents — students at Kennett High School, who shared their experiences this past year in the ELO (extended learning opportunities) program.
ELOs allow students to earn credit through learning experiences that take place outside the traditional classroom. Seniors Carys Gove and Joselyn Gigli, and juniors Nola Bradeen, Jenna Burnell, Elena Kupetz, Zach Rossman and Hadley Spittler shared their ELO experiences.
