FRYEBURG — The school year is nearly over for Fryeburg Academy's Class of 2015, but before the school's 223rd class graduates next Sunday at 2 p.m., the 141 senior Raiders (down from 160 last year and 175 two years ago) will be together one last time for Project Graduation.
The students will head out on an adventure Friday and return the following day.
