This annual City Year Little Rock event was held at the Robinson Center where education-focused leaders gathered to celebrate the nonprofit’s mission in a panel discussion with AmeriCorps members serving in local schools. The Susan Purvis Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Melinda Modica, principal at J.A. Fair K-8 Preparatory School. Proceeds from the luncheon went toward supporting students in Little Rock and Jacksonville to help them reach their full potential through learning, exploration and growth.
