Winter is that time of Year when we challenge ourselves, our teammates, and our competing schools to the great sport of wrestling. One thing for sure, It is Definitely time to roll out the mats and get to the business at hand “MAT TIME”
So, in two weeks, this year’s wrestling program will begin and should be an exciting one. With many returning wrestlers, it makes for a great team environment, full of personal challenges as well as future team building. For you new wrestlers trying the sport for the first time, it means a solid base of experienced athletes and coaches willing and able to teach you the fun aspects as well as the hard, tough workouts associated with this awesome sport. No one sits on the bench, and you determine how well you do. You want to become a stronger, leaner, faster, more agile and flexible person? Wrestling does that! You want to earn respect from your friends and fellow students? Wrestling does that!

For a recent assignment, she created a website that features her own work and the work of an artist, Bailey Arend, who also works in clay.
"What I especially liked about Lydia's website was how well thought out it was," said Mitschmyer. "Not only does she share and reflect on her creative process — including drawings of what she intends to do in clay and at what stage her pieces are in the design and making process — she also includes her SMART goals for the remaining weeks of the semester. This is exemplary work, both from an artistic viewpoint and from a web-based communications perspective."

This store will be open TWICE: Opening 11/20 and closing 11/28 for Christmas (we will message you if ANYTHING won't be ready in time - can happen if things are coming from west coast) and then again for later, December/January open/close for anyone who missed the first round!
To get to the sales, follow this link: https://cvhs-winter-22-23-fanwear.itemorder.com/shop/sale/.
IMPORTANT:
- As you may be aware, there are still issues with the supply chain for apparel. At the time of the store opening, all items were available. This can change at the last moment - and we may have to change brands due to availability.
- Images show the basic ConVal logo - you may chose THAT logo ("NO sport") or your WINTER sport of preference. We set the store up just a wee bit different this year with general items AND then a section for each sport. You can access a sport by scrolling down OR clicking on the tabs at the top.
- Once the store closes, we will order products and as soon as they arrive, we will begin embroidering & screen printing.
- All purchases will be bagged and delivered to the high school for pickup (we will email you with that information).

There were holiday decorations handmade by crafters and makers of all sorts as well hand-knit and crocheted clothing items by local artisans. In addition, representatives from national brands and direct sales vendors presented a wide variety of merchandise. Former ConVal High School Director of School Counseling Kim Chandler reserved a space to share her book Covered Bridges of New Hampshire, a photographic history of all sixty-one covered bridges in the state, presented in then-and-now comparisons.
A student-run food court offered hot meals (soups, chili, mac & cheese, meatballs, kielbasa), sweet treats (cookies, muffins, and brownies), snacks (popcorn), as well as coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and soda.
The Holiday Craft Fair was organized by the Class of 2023. The class advisors, Rebecca Dunn and Ashley Jones, were happy to see the tradition continue under the leadership of the senior class. Said Jones, “The students put a lot of work into organizing and promoting the fair. Their enthusiasm was reflected in the great number of visitors who enjoyed the event.”

On Thursday, the school welcomed seniors for the annual Temple Senior Thanksgiving Feast. The Temple Recreation Department pays for all the fixings, including 200 pounds of turkey, while staff and student families cook it all and drop it off in the am. There were 18 pies were cooked by the children at TES. They also performed songs for the seniors!
We are so thankful for the return of this tradition which means so much to the staff and students as well as to the wider community of Temple.

ConVal High School in the Lucy Hurlin Theater.
Thursday, November 10, 2022 at 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Your ConVal School Board and Administration are finalizing the activities for the next ConVal Community Forum on Thursday, November 10 at 6:30-8:30PM. We are excited about providing you this opportunity for a constructive, open, informative and meaningful dialog. With an activity such as this there are lots of things to know so you can be prepared for participating in and making this a successful experience. To learn all about this activity please see below:
Where and when is the Community Forum?
ConVal High School in the Lucy Hurlin Theater and via Live Stream on Thursday, November 10 at 6:30-8:30PM.
What is a community forum?
A community forum is a meeting where there are presentations and all can discuss, share knowledge, and talk to each other about topics of mutual interest.
Why do we need a community forum?
School board meetings, being business meetings, provide a limited venue for The ConVal School Board and Administration to engage with our community. We believe in being open and transparent in all of our activities. We believe in ensuring that the ConVal community is engaged and informed. A community forum is one mechanism to achieve these goals.
How do I attend the Community forum?
We are providing two ways for the public to attend the community forum. You can come to the Lucy Hurlin Theater at ConVal high school to attend in person or you can attend the forum via a Live Stream feed from the forum.
How is the Community Forum organized?
We have selected three important topics to be presented. Each topic will start with a presentation and after the presentation there will be an opportunity for either audience to ask questions. Each question will be answered by the presenter or by a member of the School Board or Administration. We have also allowed time for both audiences to ask questions on any other school district relevant topic. There will be a moderator that will control the flow of information and activities at the community forum.
How are questions presented?
After each of the prepared topics are presented, the in-person audience will have an opportunity to ask questions directly to the moderator who will direct the question to the appropriate person to answer. Members of the audience that are remote and on the live-stream will be able to submit their questions via email ( to community forum members. These folks will select questions from the emails received and give to the moderator who will direct the question to the appropriate person to answer.
How do I attend remotely via live stream and how do I submit questions?
The live stream will be done as a YouTube event. This means that the community forum will be recorded as a video on U-tube so that not only can it be viewed as it is taking place but it can be viewed at any time after the community forum is completed as it will always be on YouTube servers..
To view this forum via live stream at 6:30 PM on Thursday, November 10th, click on this YouTube link ConVal Events or type in this link https://www.youtube.com/c/ConValEvents then select the “2022 October 10 Community Forum” video from the list of available videos.
To send in a question via email please use the following email address Forum@conval.edu.
Why should I attend the ConVal community forum?
It is your money, it is your school district, it is the education of your children, and it is your community. Be involved. Make a difference.
How do I get some information about the presentations prior to the forum?
A draft copy of the ConVal Strategic plan is available for your review. The link address to click on to review the draft copy is below. You will have time to formulate your questions and send them in advance of the forum, if you desire. To send in a question via email please use the following email address Forum@conval.edu.

The draft document can be accessed here, and members of the community who would like to provide feedback on the substance of the report, such as stated goals and benchmarks for success, can do so by emailing strategicplanpubliccomment@conval.edu.
Public comment on the Strategic Plan is open from November 3-14.
“The community has been an instrumental part of the process of developing this plan, which will serve as a guiding document for us as we navigate the next five years and work toward our core goals of better serving our students,” Rizzo Saunders said. “The public comment period on the draft document is a final, critical step in completing this plan and I’m hopeful the community will continue its robust participation in this process.”
The strategic planning process began last fall following the creation of a Strategic Plan Steering Committee and subcommittees consisting of staff, parents and community members. As part of the strategic planning work, community members were invited to take part in a survey on their vision for the future of the district. In all, 750 members of the community responded to the survey.
Following the completion of the survey, ConVal contracted Think Strategy to conduct focus groups to provide deeper insight into community members’ feedback.
Six subcommittees – Curriculum and Instruction, Finance and Capital Planning, Co-Curricular and Athletics, Personnel, Wellness, and Technology – reviewed survey results and focus group feedback on their areas of concern and developed draft goals based on that feedback. The Strategic Plan Steering Committee subsequently worked to develop priority areas for the District and goals for the administration. The resulting strategic plan will guide ConVal’s work through 2027, when the strategic planning process will be renewed for the next five years.

Cullinan, who has been teaching in ConVal since 2005, has been pursuing her Ph.D. at Lesley University and is focusing her research on role-playing games (RPG) as a way to maximize educational accessibility. Over the past year, she’s collaborated with Rich Oxenham of Bath, England, who founded Hatchling Games and is the creator of the RPG Inspirisles.
Inspirisles is a completely original all-ages Tabletop RPG promoting storytelling, empathy and Deaf awareness with an emphasis on cooperation.
Inspirisles is designed to teach hearing students basic sign language and deaf awareness. Cullinan used the game as part of an elective course for seventh and eighth graders at Great Brook. Those students’ experiences served as the subject for Cullinan and Oxenham’s presentation highlighting the use of the game to build cultural awareness and teach American sign language to middle school students.
“Teachers need to be increasingly creative to meet the needs of students, who will need thinking skills as well as content in the real world," Cullinan said. "Roleplaying games are an academically understudied pedagogy, even though teachers have seen them do wonders with kids. It's amazing our little school can be part of research and journal articles that help forward the use of RPGs all over the world!”
In addition to her work with Inspirisles, Cullinan has been collaborating closely with Jennifer Genova, a middle school social studies teacher in Salem to develop a theoretical matrix meant to help educators select or create RPGs that maximize their students’ social-emotional or academic development. Their shared work was the subject of a second presentation at last week’s conference, which focused on analyzing RPGs and their use in educational settings.
“I am very proud of Maryanne’s commitment to discovering creative ways to engage students in rigorous academics and cultural competency,” Great Brook School Principal Kat Foecking said. “She is the kind of out-of-the-box thinker that drives educational innovation, which directly benefits our students.”

Chairman, Budget & Property Committee
ConVal School Board
Budget “Guidance”
We’ve all felt the impact of rising costs and we’ve all pulled up to the pump recently and “enjoyed” the lower gas prices now compared to a few months ago. When we develop our budget, we need to acknowledge that costs are going to be higher, but just how high? The fact that the FY24 School year will run from July ’23 through June ’24 makes it more difficult.
Salaries and benefits for District staff account for more than 70% of our costs. District voters approved a three-year contract for teachers, paraprofessionals, and specialized service professionals this past March. FY24 will be the second year of the contract - which establishes the FY24 salary increase for the majority of the District’s employees. This reduces some of the uncertainty associated with estimating the effect of inflation to include in the proposed budget. Several other multi-year contracts in place also help.
The Board recently provided the Superintendent with “guidance” to be used to develop the initial FY24 budget: maintain the status quo. In other words, do not include any significant new programs but do include planned upgrades to technology, curriculum, etc.
Annual School Board Budget Meeting
The annual School Board Budget meeting will be held on Saturday November 5th at the District offices. The Superintendent and staff presented will present the initial proposed budget. This will be an informative meeting – decisions on specific aspects of the budget will be discussed and voted on at regularly scheduled Board meetings. You will have several opportunities to review, discuss, and eventually approve it. We encourage and welcome your participation.
Stay tuned for our next article in this series – it will discuss how the FY23 school budget affects your property tax bill.

Included below are the key dates and events associated with this budget cycle. The first three have been completed:
- June 30, 2022 – last day of FY22
- “Preliminary” Property tax bills issued
- July 1, 2022 - 1st day of FY23
- Audit of FY22 financials (ongoing)
- Aug/Sept 2022 – Board developed and approved “FY24 Budget Guidance” to be used by the Superintendent and staff to develop the proposed School Budget for FY24
- November 5, 2022 – Annual School Board Budget Meeting
- November/December – Towns issue 2023 Property Tax bills
- January 2023 – Board finalizes and “approves” proposed FY23 Budget
- Public hearing on proposed Budget – January 10, 2023
- January 2023 – 2nd Board sponsored Community Forum (date TBD)
- February 7, 2022 – Deliberative Session
- March 7, 2022 – Voting day (FY24 Budget)
- July 1, 2023 – 1st day of FY24
The two most significant changes this budget cycle include:
- the “return” to taxpayers of unused funds from FY22. The exact amount will be determined when the ongoing audit of FY22 is completed, but we already know that the amount will be significantly lower than the unprecedented amount “returned” from FY21. This will be covered in detail in the next article.
- Inflation is going to be the “wild card” for FY24.
Budget “Guidance”
We’ve all felt the impact of rising costs and we’ve all pulled up to the pump recently and “enjoyed” the lower gas prices now compared to a few months ago. When we develop our budget, we need to acknowledge that costs are going to be higher, but just how high? The fact that the FY24 School year will run from July ’23 through June ’24 makes it more difficult.
Salaries and benefits for District staff account for more than 70% of our costs. District voters approved a three-year contract for teachers, paraprofessionals, and specialized service professionals this past March. FY24 will be the second year of the contract - which establishes the FY24 salary increase for the majority of the District’s employees. This reduces some of the uncertainty associated with estimating the effect of inflation to include in the proposed budget. Several other multi-year contracts in place also help.
The Board recently provided the Superintendent with “guidance” to be used to develop the initial FY24 budget: maintain the status quo. In other words, do not include any significant new programs but do include planned upgrades to technology, curriculum, etc.
Annual School Board Budget Meeting
The annual School Board Budget meeting will be held on Saturday November 5th at the District offices. The Superintendent and staff presented will present the initial proposed budget. This will be an informative meeting – decisions on specific aspects of the budget will be discussed and voted on at regularly scheduled Board meetings. You will have several opportunities to review, discuss, and eventually approve it. We encourage and welcome your participation.
Stay tuned for our next article in this series – it will discuss how the FY23 school budget affects your property tax bill.

While Read Across America is a year long endeavor, March is a time when many schools, such as AES, highlight this celebration. Below you can find some more information about where this comes from and why it is important. We are so proud of our GBS community for participating in this special event to promote reading at the elementary level.
Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA) and guided by a committee of educators, NEA’s Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.
The titles and resources featured by NEA’s Read Across America include books that students can see themselves reflected in, as well as books that allow readers to see a world or a character that might be different than them.

Strategic plans act as a roadmap for the District to follow during a five-year period, highlighting specific projects and goals for long-term sustainable growth. The most recent strategic plan was created in 2016 and lasted through June 2021.
The survey will gather input about long-term strategies and goals that are most important to community members. Data collected will help the District to shape a strategic plan that reflects community priorities.
The survey is open to all stakeholders – parents/guardians, students, staff, and residents of Conval’s nine sending communities.
“We ask everyone to take a few moments to complete this important survey,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “This input is vital in guiding the District to develop a strategic plan to serve our students that reflects the goals and visions of our community.”
The survey is open and will remain live through Tuesday, Feb. 1. To take the survey:
- Parents/guardians of students, click here.
- ConVal District staff members click here.
- Students, click here.
- Community members, click here.
A draft of the strategic plan is expected to be completed by June 2022. The plan will be reviewed by the School Board and implemented after approval.
More information about the strategic planning process can be found on the district’s website here.
