Grant helps keep Project SUCCEED in Pine Tree Elementary Funding for after-school program was among the cuts ordered by the state BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Emotions have been up and down for those involved in the popular Project SUCCEED at John Fuller, Pine Tree and Conway Elementary. For awhile it looked like there might not be any funding for the program at Pine Tree School, but organizers have been able to secure a grant for $414,960 from the New Hampshire Department of Education. The other two schools are already in the fourth year of five-year grants. A year ago voters defeated town funding for the elementary school program, prompting the community to raise $20,000 over the summer to match an anonymous $20,000 donation. This spring, voters went to the polls in April and overwhelmingly supported a $59,950 warrant article 1,040 to 478, setting the district up well for the 2011-12 school year.
