CONWAY — Summer officially ended Wednesday morning for some students in MSAD 72, while children in SAU 9 head back to classrooms today for the 2019-20 school year. Students at Fryeburg Academy and grades K-6 in SAU 13 will start class on Tuesday, after Labor Day.
Schools in MSAD 72 — Molly Ockett School, Brownfield-Denmark Elementary School and New Suncook Elementary in Lovell — started Wednesday, and by all accounts, there were a lot of happy youngsters.
