Funding approved for new Snow School Plan is to build elementary school on middle school property BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
FRYEBURG — Two years of work behind the scenes by a number of citizens and educators has paid off. C. A. Snow School has been chosen as one of only six schools in Maine to receive funding for construction or renovation. With state funding, the current plan is to build a new K-5 school on the Molly Ockett Middle School site. "It was great news," Gary MacDon-
ald, superintendent for MSAD 72, said, earlier this month. "We were No. 5 on the list of about 80 schools in Maine who applied last fall. This is incredible news and everyone here is so excited — now the reality is the work really starts." Building committee members George Cunningham, Dave Knapp, Kit Trumbull, Billie L'Heureux and Zacary Shivers, all of Fryeburg; along see SNOW SCHOOL page 16
