Join ConVal Performing Arts for its production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by William Finn, with a book written by Rachel Sheinkin. The show centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle School. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups.
Auditions will be held on Monday, February 19, after school, in the choir room.
Want to be involved but not audition for a part? Sign up for the production team or to perform in the ensemble on the audition form at bit.ly/beecvhs. No experience is needed — we'll teach you everything you need to know! See Mr. or Mrs. Moore with any questions you may have.

With direction and guidance from Jason Lambert and Leslie Holcombe, the students researched the story of Peter Pan by examining the original play Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and the films Finding Neverland and Disney's Peter Pan.
The students also journaled about their own ideas about growing up, being a child, and what the story of Peter Pan means to us today. This research and journaling led to a collaboratively written play, and it makes its ConVal High School debut this Friday, February 16, at 7 p.m.
Join us to find Neverland!

With the passage of SB 147 (2021) and RSA 193-26-a, the state of New Hampshire has mandated the completion of the FAFSA form as a high school graduation requirement, regardless of whether or not the student has plans to attend college immediately upon graduation. The new 2024–2025 FAFSA form is available now and offers a streamlined user experience to make the completion of the FAFSA easier for students and their families.
If a graduating student has no intent to go to college, there is a waiver available. The waiver must be filed with the Main Office in order to count as having completed the requirement. Students over the age of 18 can sign the waiver form themselves.
In order to better serve your needs, please fill out this form from the School Counseling Department. For more information on the new FAFSA form in the news, see this brief report on WMUR.

Conducting dissection labs gives students an appreciation of the complexity of organisms in a hands-on environment, helps them learn about the internal structures of animals, and motivates them to ask probing questions about anatomical structures and processes.

Chairman, Budget & Property Committee
ConVal School Board
It’s “Budget Season” again - that time of year when there is a lot of activity going on from a school budget and property tax bill point of view. In addition to the annual budget development process, we are also in the middle of several other “activities” that could impact future budgets and property taxes:
As such, it’s time to start our annual series of articles regarding the financial aspects of running the ConVal School District. Here’s a brief preview of some the articles we’ll be publishing between now and the vote in March:
Although a special warrant article resulting from the ongoing “Reconfiguration/Consolidation Project” being performed for the District by Prismatic Services will be included on the March ballot, we will not include a separate “Financial Article” on that. A Community Forum is scheduled on December 11, 2023.
Likewise for the recent NH Superior Court decision (in our favor) regarding the ConVal School district lawsuit regarding the adequacy of state funding for education. It is not clear at this point whether this decision will be appealed, whether the legislature will take timely action, and how much the local education portion of your property taxes will be impacted or when.
All of these new articles (as well as all previous financial publications) will all be available on the ConVal School Board website: schoolboard.convalsd.net/budget/.

Rizzo Saunders had been nominated by 18 of her colleagues and Richard Dunning, Chair of the ConVal School Board.
"Kimberly’s selection as Superintendent of the Year, is so deserving," said Dunning. "Kimberly dealt with the Covid challenge by supporting student education online to keep students involved in learning, and was able to get our students back into the classroom as quickly as possible. When confronting inadequate educational state funding, Kimberly’s leadership and testimony led to a positive outcome, for students and taxpayers alike," Dunning concluded.
Here are just a few quotes from the nomination letter written by her colleagues: "Dr. Rizzo Saunders' enthusiasm for public education is contagious, and it ignites a sense of purpose in those around her." "Dr. Rizzo Saunders has highlighted the urgent need for adequate and equitable resources to ensure that all children receive a quality education. Her actions have reignited the conversation about the basic rights of students and the essential role that public education plays in our society." "Dr. Rizzo Saunders consistently shows the courage to speak truth to power. She does not shy away from tackling difficult issues or advocating for necessary changes. Her work will have a lasting impact not only on ConVal, but on the entire state."
"I can't think of anyone more deserving of this recognition," said Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ann Forrest.

Grossi's workshop laid out the various ways that Teacher Preparation and Early Childhood Education instructors can place their students into early childhood, elementary, and middle school classrooms for hands-on training. Participants explored ways to embed practicum experiences in classrooms at a variety of ages and grade levels and with specialists such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, and family consumer science, art, music, and physical education teachers. Attendees also learned about the effectiveness of paired placements and discussed ways for students to collaborate with cooperating teachers to create, implement, and reflect on lessons.

Prismatic Services is the consulting company chosen by the ConVal School Board to analyze the pros and cons of consolidation/reconfiguration for the school district. On November 15th, Prismatic shared the data they have generated with the ConVal board members, district leaders, and school principals.
"We call this event a 'data party', said Tatia Prieto, the president of Prismatic. "It's a way to enable organizational leaders to engage with key data elements before the project recommendations and report are finalized. We gathered this information over the last five months through extensive interaction with the ConVal community."
At the three hour public meeting, ConVal representatives reviewed the data 'placemats', which were organized into 4 categories: Background Data, Community Input Data, Constituent Input Data, and Beliefs and Research Data (see also the linked file list below). After analyzing each placemat in small groups, the leaders came back together to share key insights, discussion points, and questions. Prismatic will use the input provided from this meeting to shape its recommendations for reconfiguration options as the firm begins to develop its project report.
Dick Dunning, the school board chairman, said, "Prismatic has done their job well. They started with no preconceived outcomes, and their data has been expertly and thoroughly compiled. I look forward to hearing what they recommend for the long-term success of our school district, both educationally and financially. And then, as always, the final decision will rest with the voters."
Sincerely,
ConVal School Board

There are multiple ways to run a project the size and importance of Consolidation/Reconfiguration.
The typical way is to lay out all activities, assign responsibilities and target dates up-front. Another way is more iterative (assigning target dates and responsibilities as the project moves along). For many reasons, we (Prismatic and Conval) decided in the beginning of this project to use the iterative approach. These two approaches have the same goals and objectives and will accomplish the same end.
It is now time to lay-out the activities done, in-progress and to be done with the assigned delivery dates. The best venue for this is the bi-weekly school board meeting. It is open to the public, supports on-line viewing and there is no practical limit to the number of on-line attendees. Of course you can also attend in person if you so choose.
During this meeting we will be presenting the activities that have already taken place, the ones in progress and the upcoming ones with dates. At a higher level we will be presenting the goals of the project, its phases and schedule.
Please take the time to attend either in person at the SAU Board room or on-line. The logistics are as follows: Date November 7, time 7:00 PM on line access address
https://www.youtube.com/@ConValEvents , select "2023 November 7 School board meeting" and you will be on-line. If you plan on attending in-person just show up and grab a seat.
To note: this is a recorded meeting so if you can;'t attend at the scheduled time or date you can click on the above on-line access address at any time subsequent to the live meeting that is convenient for you.
Remember this is an official school board meeting so there is no discussion between the board and public either in-house or on-line.
We are, as always, open and transparent and sincerely want community involvement. Be involved.

We had a great turnout at the individual town meetings and response to the Survey with a significant number of diverse opinions and input as to the multitude of areas we should be looking at as we proceed in our multi-faceted analysis that will provide for the development and implementation of the best possible physical model allowing for the efficient use of our educational resources. This analysis will result in an educationally sound, safe, socially responsive, community sensitive, financially responsible, organizational model while providing enhanced diversity and cultural understanding, and possible transportation savings. All to support the ConVal community and students.
The attendance at the 9 community meetings exceeded 472, not counting Prismatic folks, ConVal School Board Members etc. Responses to the On-line Survey exceeded 1,555. These are great figures and will be detailed in a further correspondence.
ConVal supports 11 physically separate schools. 8 Elementary schools, 2 middle schools and 1 high school. Our school population has been on a steadily decreasing track with ConVal now having approx. 1993 students with a capacity of 3,530 students as of Nov. 2022. Our school capacity far exceeds our current enrollment and enrollment is not expected to significantly increase in the foreseeable future. The latest demographic projections suggest a very small growth in enrollments over the next decade.
The key to this process has been and continues to be community engagement and being open and transparent in our activities.
With the analysis taking place on the opinions and input received from the individual town meetings and on-line survey we felt it better to continue with this analysis and schedule the on-line forum and follow up On-line Survey for October 23 through October 27 inclusive. Details of both and upcoming activities are below:
Prismatic will launch an asynchronous, online, moderated forum for ConVal residents that will be available for a week. There will be 3 options within the forum:
Participants will be able to view the comments of other participants and may choose to respond to them. Participants may choose to give their names, but it is not required. Inappropriate comments will be deleted.
The forum will be hosted in IdeaFlip and will look similar to post-it response activities of the Town Meetings
The on-line forum can be accessed here: ideaflip.com/drop-in/contrib/cuszxyj4bdz9/AsoJlYrkxriJ/ .
The on-line forum will be available for use 24 hours a day for the 5 days noted (October 23 thru October 27 inclusive).
.
Prismatic will launch a short, online, confidential follow-up survey that will provide participants with an overview of select district costs and recent student performance data, then ask for input. As both input opportunities will be focused on similar topics, community members may choose to only participate in one or they could choose to participate in both.
Access the follow-up survey by clicking this link: www.research.net/r/ConValComOct .
The follow-up Survey will be available for use 24 hours a day for the 5 days noted (October 23 thru October 27 inclusive).
This input analysis shows that there are many thoughts on the community’s collective minds on how to address this issue, as expected. We are in the process of summarizing this input into a cohesive form to present to you and the community. With over 1,500 on-line survey responses and over 472 community members attending the individual town meetings it will take a while to complete. We expect that this part of the input analysis will be completed by the end of October. By that time the results of the scheduled On-line forum and follow-up survey will be in process with a scheduled completion date of community input being November 15. On November 15 we (Prismatic, ConVal School Board, ConVal administration, staff etc.) will be holding a data analysis meeting (Data party) to make sure all are on the same page as relates to understanding the input received and its completeness. We will also be providing input on areas that we feel need clarification and detail figures.
The end of the data collection (input) phase is scheduled for a few days after November 15. Subsequent to the completion of this phase we will be diligently working on formulating our recommended approach to this complex and far-reaching issue.
We expect to have this project completed by the middle of December, in time for the community to review and for placing a warrant article on the school ballot, if needed.
We will keep all informed as to the results of the data gathering and analysis phase.

PSAT
The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 to students in 10th and 11th grades who registered to take the test. Scores will be available in December, and school counselors will meet with students to explain how to use the information from their score report to prepare for the SAT. Visit the College Board website for practice tests.
Several scholarships use PSAT/NMSQT scores to find eligible juniors. Juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT and do well may be eligible to receive a scholarship from the College Board.

All of the survey responses will be kept confidential by Prismatic; survey responses will only be provided in aggregate to district staff and the public.
Please see the letter here to grant parental permission for your student to participate in the survey. If you have any questions, please reach out to the main office at (603) 924-3869 where paper copies are available.

The homeroom TASC that collects the most items will win a pizza party. At the end of the week, the National Honors Society has volunteered to come around and collect the items. Please make sure all your items are in bags and/or a box. Please be thoughtful of the weight of the box (you might need two...or three).
In the past, we have collected over $2,500 in monetary donations as well as thousands of pounds of food, and ConVal has been the top collection site in the state. So let’s all show our Cougar pride and be the best in the state again this year. Thank you for your support!
Note: All food donations stay local and are distributed within the ConVal towns.

The goal of this committee is to determine the best possible, educationally rich, safe, socially responsive, community sensitive, financially responsible, and organizationally sound physical model while providing for enhanced diversity and cultural understanding in support of our ConVal community and students.
ConVal supports 11 physically separate schools: eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Our school population has been on a steadily decreasing track with ConVal now having approximately 1,993 students with a capacity for 3,530 students as of November 2022. Our school capacity far exceeds our current enrollment, and enrollment is not expected to significantly increase in the foreseeable future. The latest demographic projections suggest a very small growth in enrollments over the next decade.
We are in the process of selecting an outside organization that is experienced with activities like this from working with other school districts and states. The selected organization will provide their expertise and assist us in this project. We have issued a Request for Information, received replies, selected three organizations to receive our Request for Proposal and will shortly select our partner organization.
The key to this process will be community engagement. We will have as involved partners in our committee: community members, parents and students, Select Board members, School Board members, ConVal District Administration, teachers, and staff.
The SOC will be holding Community Forums and individual community meetings to share, discuss and receive input. We will produce a report detailing the committee’s work and determined proposals in proposing a redesign for the district.
There can be more than one viable approach recommended. Any change to the number of active elementary schools will require a 2/3 public vote to amend our Articles of Agreement.
We expect this critical activity will take approximately 6 months to complete once we select and engage our partner organization.

All 11 ConVal schools are significantly under-enrolled. This negatively impacts the students, causing educational inadequacies and inequities.
It also negatively impacts the taxpayers, who are paying to operate these underutilized buildings. Additionally, the School Board has concerns about the high cost of maintaining safe conditions for students and staff in so many buildings. Conversely, the Board is acutely aware of each town's concerns about any changes to the status quo. Lastly, another issue related to this issue is ConVal's ability to hire and retain qualified academic staff.
But the reality is that the School Board doesn't have the authority to determine what should be done to address this problem. School Board Chair Dick Dunning notes, "Because of the 1967 Articles of Agreement, the voters have to approve any changes made to our elementary school structure. And it has to be approved by a 2/3's majority."
So the School Board decided to hire a consultant to examine the issues facing ConVal and how best to move forward. Prismatic Services, the company selected, has extensive experience working with school districts in planning their futures, including here in New Hampshire. Prismatic will be analyzing our district and gathering input from our nine towns over the next several months, and issue their recommendations in December.
"We wanted to go with an outside consulting company like Prismatic Services so ConVal residents would have an objective evaluation of our district's issues," said Mr. Dunning. "And then we as a community have to decide if we want to move forward with their recommendations."
"Prismatic Services will host a meeting in each town at a time and place to be determined by Town leaders.", said Dr. Tatia Prieto, President and founder of Prismatic Services. "The meetings will be scheduled for September and October. The objective of the meetings will be to gather input from town residents about the district’s current school configuration and possible reconfigurations.
Prismatic has designed the meetings to allow residents to provide input via a variety of formats, including written responses to posted questions, prioritizing different options, short videos, and sharing with Prismatic Services consultants. Residents will be able to provide meaningful input in their preferred format, even if they only have 15 minutes to drop in."
In addition, Dr. Prieto said that Prismatic Services will be conducting a forum online in which all ConVal residents will have the opportunity to give their input. Residents will be able to respond to posted questions, view the responses of others, and respond to those responses. This forum will be monitored and moderated by Prismatic Services.
Finally, Prismatic Services plans to gather information through an online survey. The survey will give residents a third opportunity to share their thoughts about the current status of ConVal and its future.
School Board Vice-Chair Alan Edelkind is excited about what he sees. "We are about to enter a strategic school reconfiguration journey, with the goals of bolstering education quality, fostering community collaboration and optimizing our resources.", he said. "Recognizing that transitions can be challenging, we have asked a consulting firm, Prismatic Services, to carefully analyze our district, gather input from our nine towns, staff members, parents, students, and community members and help us create an educational environment that prepares our students for lifelong success and strengthens our community."
The School Board has stressed to Dr. Prieto the importance of listening to the ConVal community in drafting their report. Mr. Dunning said, “We are committed to community engagement and developing a sense of unity, and we hired a consulting company who shares that commitment."
"Our student population is shrinking, we now have just under 2,000 students with empty classrooms throughout the district," continued Mr. Dunning. "This is unsustainable and not the best use of our resources or best learning environment. The time has come to gather data, analyze and come up with a plan to ensure long-term sustainability of our educational programs and facilities."

Car pooling was one option. An alternative was to park at Peterborough Elementary School and take a shuttle bus to SMS which Liz Lawler and Jenn Sutton opted for.

Under ideal weather conditions, the program was conducted by Danny Canary of Skydio, an American manufacturer of drones headquartered in San Mateo, California.
Canary opened the three-hour event with an explanation of the various capacities of three models: the Skydio 2+, the Skydio Enterprise, and the Skydio X2 autonomous drone. Each drone possesses varying flying characteristics and degrees of AI-powered tools that allow drone operators to create 3D models, conduct remote inspections of facilities, guide search and rescue operations in rugged terrain, or complete damage assessments, for example, after weather events like hurricanes or the recent destructive rainfall events in western New Hampshire.
Canary showcased especially the autonomous obstacle avoidance capacity of the drones which allows the Skydio to guide itself around obstructions in its flight path. Attendees, who included students in the ConVal Summer Learning Program and interested members of the general public, were encouraged to take the controller and try flying the drone themselves.
ConVal School Board Chair Dick Dunning, who attended the event, noted: "The drone presentation today, by the CTE, offered ConVal students a chance to see multiple possibilities, for future career options, through participation in upcoming drone programs."

To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home as soon as possible.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about add, headaches, dizziness, etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. You may also click that you do not want to complete any demographics. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own. In the end you Do Not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out!
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base. You do not have to send me any information.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for two years. If you child did NOT take the test last year, 2021, they HAVE TO take it this year. Thank you,
Tod Silegy SMS Athletic Director

I am writing this letter if your son/ daughter is interested in trying out for a 2023 fall sport at South Meadow School. Try out dates for boys white and blue team soccer, girls soccer, girls field hockey, boys and girls cross country, and girls volleyball, will start on Wednesday, August 30th, right after school. All athletes will report to the gym to meet me and their respective coach.
Try out times for all fall sports will run 2:30 to 4:00 and will be at South Meadow School.
All students trying out for teams will be done with practice and off the field, course, court, by 4:05. Students may go home on the late bus, walk home, or be collected by their parents in the Back upper parking lot. Due to safety reasons, all parent pick up is out back to avoid the buses. We request you pick up your child no later than 4:10.
Students in grades six, seven, and eight, are eligible to play field hockey, soccer, and club volleyball. Students in grades fifth, sixth, seventh, and eight are eligible to run cross country for the boys or girls teams.
All students trying out must bring with them a completed parent permission/emergency form. This must be handed to the respective coach on the first day of practice. An updated or current physical form must be sent to our nurse Tricia Harris before tryouts. Updated means that your son or daughter has had a physical within the last two years. For example: If you son/daughter had a physical as a sixth grader he/she would need an updated physical as an eighth grader. Please remember THAT UPDATED PHYSICAL FORM must be sent or emailed to the SMS nurse at: pharris@conval.edu, before the first day of practice. You may download both forms on the SMS Sports website and they are also attached.
Please direct any questions to me at 924-7105 ext. 1268. I will be out of my office until August. You may email me at tsilegy@conval.edu as well.
SMS fax number is: 603-924-2064
Sincerely yours,
Tod Silegy
SMS Athletic Director
P. S.
All students for soccer and field hockey should bring with them to try outs appropriate foot-wear, shin guards, and a mouth piece. Field hockey athletes must also wear PROTECTIVE EYE WEAR and supply their own stick. Cross country athletes must bring appropriate foot-wear and clothing for running. Volleyball athletes should bring sneakers and appropriate clothing. ALL athletes should bring WATER BOTTLES. No one will be allowed to share!

Buses will leave school at 11:20 am on a modified late-bus schedule. Students are expected to leave campus at that time, unless otherwise engaged in school-related work. There will be a regular bus run at 2:20 pm but late buses will not run from the high school on exam days.
Please note that students need to return all borrowed and assigned materials — Chromebooks, library books, classroom textbooks, etc. — by the day of their last final. Underclassmen will leave their Chromebooks, English, and library books in the classroom of their last exam. For most students, this will be after their Block 4 exam on June 15.
Students who have completed their year-end exams by Thursday, June 15, are not expected to be at school on Friday.
Make-up exams will be held by arrangement with individual teachers. Students are expected to leave campus as soon as they have finished their make-ups. This is a scheduled 1/2 day; there will be no bus service to and from ConVal High School on Friday.
Have a great summer, and we look forward to seeing you in August!

First, they talked with US Army Corps of Engineers Ranger Jason Tremblay about turtle biology and the turtle nesting habitat restoration project at MacDowell. Then, Harris Center Naturalist John Benjamin took the students to the nesting grounds to look for signs of activity.
The students found two snapping turtle nests and learned how to report this information to the NH Reptile and Amphibian Reporting Program (RAARP) at NH Fish & Game. New Hampshire has six native species of turtles, four of which are threatened or endangered.
“I never knew that turtles have to travel away from water to lay their eggs and risk getting hit by cars when they do that. It was so cool to see ways to make the habitat better for them,” said one student.

Codman and Wright graduated in May from Colby-Sawyer College with Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees. Both will begin their careers at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) this August.
“It was super helpful. I really liked hearing about what college is like. It was nice to hear that everyone will feel out of place at first but it gets better after the first few weeks,” said junior Kaili Kozlowski.

In addition to doing one last activity as a class before graduation, the seniors received a commemorative, limited edition Red Sox "Class of 2023" T-shirt. Congratulations everyone, including the class advisors Rebecca Dunn and Ashley Jones who organized this great senior trip!

When someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts.
Robyn Birren, Director for School Engagement at the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Heart Association, recently visited ConVal to bring to the Careers in Education Program a train-the-trainer kit to help support "CPR In Schools," an initiative created by the American Heart Association in partnership with Dartmouth Health. "We hope that you will find this kit useful for years to come with your school and community," Birren said.
More than 1,600 people suffer from cardiac arrest each day in the U.S. Knowing CPR and how to use an AED could save their life. Or to put it in an even more personal perspective – someone next to you knowing these skills may save yours.

The objectives include teaching students about where our food comes from, living organisms, the life cycle of plants, and more. Each day, after a garden learning lesson, students head to the gardens to complete a variety of tasks such as weeding, harvesting, watering, and/or debugging. Students keep journals of their predictions, discoveries, and observations. Of course trying some fresh fruits, vegetables, and leafy plants is an added bonus!

The tour is designed for students who are upper-level students (grades 10 and up) and have completed Spanish 2 by the end of fall semester 2023.
This will be a unique opportunity for students to explore the rich culture and history of this fascinating country. The tour will take them to the capital Madrid where they will witness the vibrant Spanish lifestyle firsthand while exploring the city's famous landmarks such as the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, and the Puerta del Sol. The trip will also include a tour of the Andalusia region in the south, where students will experience the enchanting beauty of historic towns such as Seville, Granada, Ronda, and the Pueblos Blancos, the white villages nestled among the hills in the Andalusian mountains. The tour will give students the chance to learn about the country's rich cultural heritage while practicing their Spanish skills and making unforgettable travel memories.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please attend an orientation session on June 1, 2023 at 6:00 pm in the ConVal library. Questions? Please contact Señora Pacheco-McMahon at vmcmahon@conval.edu.

The competition tests the students' knowledge in such areas as forestry, soil and land use, wildlife, aquatic ecology, and current environmental issues.
"This year, we sent two competing teams of five members each," said Andria Johnson, the advisor for the Envirothon co-curricular. "They had a great time! At the end, before awards, they did a little senior sendoff and gave them all honor cords."
The photos show ConVal Envirothon team members at the wildlife station where they had to identify animal pelts, scat, and tracks. Each team also had to give an oral presentation regarding climate change and how we adapt.
Since 1991, the New Hampshire Envirothon has supported student growth and inquiry in Environmental Science, Natural Resource conservation, and STEM education under the direction of the New Hampshire Association of Conservation Districts (NHACD).

The fair featured over 20 local employers who offered full-time, part-time, and seasonal job opportunities. Branches of the armed services were also represented.
In addition to job opportunities, many of the employers offered internships so this was a great opportunity for students to connect with potential internship sites in and around the ConVal school district as well.

All four ensembles received gold medal ratings! The ensembles were rated on their tone/intonation, technique, musicianship, and overall effectiveness.
The SMS 7th and 8th-grade band went first performing "Remember Me" from Coco and "Pueblo, Land of Ancient Peoples" by John Higgins. Edward Lowy said about his Band, "It was an all-around complete performance."
Great Brook School's 7th and 8th grade band performed two pieces titled, "(Risk) Everything For A Dream" and "Black Forest Overture." "(Risk) Everything For A Dream" had a wonderful lyrical setting and "Black Forest Overture" featured a few soloists. The GBS 7th and 8th graders showed up ready to perform and they definitely delivered!
The ConVal Band performed James Swearingen's "Aventura" and a medley from Disney/Pixar's "Brave." One of the adjudicators told the Band how much he enjoyed the energy from their performance.
The ConVal Choir closed the performance with Coldplay's "Fix You" and Jacob Narverud's "Ad Astra." The Choir was heavily complimented on their repertoire.

They observed several crabs, shrimp, mussels, barnacles, periwinkle and dog whelk snails, and a larval fish.
After a picnic lunch and a visit to the Seacoast Science Center, the group picked up trash on Rye Beach.
“This was such a fun experience. It was great to see the animals and ecosystems that we’ve been talking about all year,” said sophomore Amanda Bergeron. “Picking up trash was so satisfying!” added Maeve Finn. “It feels good to know you’re making a difference.”

Young joined 14 other science educators from across the United States and Canada to learn about ecological research methods and inquiry-based instructional models. The fellowship was a unique professional development opportunity provided by the nonprofit organization Ecology Project International (EPI).
Katherine Mena and Raquel Bone Guzman, EPI instructors and native Costa Ricans, led the fellows in a variety of team building, data analysis, and nature observation activities. The group spent five days at Pacuare on the Caribbean coast and another two days inland at Tirimbina Biological Reserve in Sarapiqui.
On rainforest hikes, there were opportunities to observe toucans, poison dart frogs, and a resident crocodile. "The most amazing thing, though, was the tortugas," Young noted. Every night, the fellows were divided into three patrol groups. Led by one of Pacuare’s research assistants, each group hiked a 4 kilometer stretch of beach for four hours.
During their patrol they looked for female leatherback sea turtles, or tortugas, making their nests on the beach. When they spotted one, the fellows helped the research assistant measure the width and length of the tortuga’s carapace as well as its neck circumference. They also measured the depth of the nesting hole. As the tortuga released her eggs, a research assistant or fellow caught them in a bag.
The eggs were then carried to the hatchery, where they were buried at the same depth as the tortuga’s nest. “I felt so humbled and honored to be in the presence of these ancient creatures as they started their next generation,” Young said.
For more on the fellowship program and the research that was conducted, please see here.

The drone they used is an ANAFI Parrot, a foldable quadcopter with a 4K HDR 21 MP camera that supports up to 25 minutes of filmed flight time.
After listening carefully to the operating instructions, Assistant Principal Rick Simoneau and Technology Integration Specialist Helfried Zrzavy each took turns trying out the drone which proved relatively easy to operate and surprisingly stable in flight, despite some wind gusts.
The goal is to offer ConVal High School students a co-curricular opportunity that is devoted to drone flying, with instruction leading to a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. This certificate demonstrates that the pilot understands the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.
In addition to recreational flights, drone piloting skills can have practical career applications for students who complete the requirements for the FAA Remote Pilot Certificate. According to Zip Recruiter, "drone pilot" and "commercial drone pilot" are commonly searched positions in the current job market. The primary responsibilities of a drone pilot are to control and maintain an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Drone pilot positions are available with both the military and other governmental organizations, as well as private companies, such as agricultural operations, environmental scientists, film and television production companies, surveyors, and GIS mapping specialists. Drone pilots can expect to make $34,000-$70,000 annually.

"This morning, we changed our plans from a nature day to a town day because of the forecast - we are glad we did because it really poured today," Frau Hodgdon reported. "We headed to the 'Haus der Natur' which is a really excellent science museum. They had exhibits on everything from space to the art of taxidermy, mineralogy to dragons." One room contained a collection of "Schiachperchten" ("ugly perchten"), scary masks carved of wood and adorned with horns. The masks are worn by scary furry creatures with loud cow bells and whipping rods in the centuries-old tradition of "Krampus" runs on December 5.
"Then we all scattered to go home to pack, take naps, and squeeze some last fun in. Finally, we headed up the mountain to the Gaisberg for our farewell dinner. Jen, Danielle, Maeve, and Eva all gave wonderful speeches about how meaningful their time here was."
"Fritz Baier reminded me tonight that a tourist brings back souvenirs, a traveler brings back stories," Frau Hodgdon concluded. Addressing the parents of ConVal exchange students directly, she continued: "I hope you will have plenty of stories and pictures and this truly is just the beginning of your student's adventures abroad. We don't think tonight was an end, but a start to further adventures."

"We started the day visiting Dachau, the former concentration camp," Frau Hodgdon reported. Established in 1933 about a half-hour ride northwest of Munich, Dachau served as a model for other concentration camps that were later established throughout Nazi Germany. The camp became infamous for the atrocities committed against prisoners, primarily political dissidents, homosexuals, Jews, and other minority groups considered undesirable by the Nazi regime. The camp was also used for medical experimentation and served as a training ground for SS personnel who would later staff other concentration camps.
"It is a heavy place meant for contemplation and I am glad we started the day this way. German students are required by law to visit a concentration camp with school and I am glad students got to see something they had only read about," Frau Hodgdon noted. The school visits to concentration camps are part of Germany's "Vergangeheitsbewältigung," a continuing, national effort of confronting and coping with the country's World War II past.
The next stop was a tour of downtown Munich and the Marienplatz to have lunch and get some shopping done. "After that, we went to the BMW World, which is like a showroom for all of the BMW products including the Mini, Rolls Royce, and all their motorcycles," Frau Hodgdon continued.
"Next we headed to the Olympic Park and went up the Olympic Tower where we had a great view of the city. Finally, we headed to the 'Frühlingsfest,' which is a smaller version of Oktoberfest, just in the spring. The kids had a great time and were interested in the comparisons between German and American carnivals."
"Throughout the day, various students were in charge of getting us from one point to another and they did a great job navigating subway, bus, and train maps."

The Akademisches Gymnasium was founded in 1617 as a preparatory school for the University of Salzburg by Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg. The school's century-old mission is to prepare students specifically for university studies with a strong commitment to Humboldt's ideal of education — graduates are to become self-determining individuals and world citizens by developing independent reasoning powers in an environment of academic freedom.
As Frau Hodgdon reported: "Today was a very special day because we got to see what Austrian school is like. We visited a range of classes, each 45 minutes in length: ancient Greek, Latin, German, History, Mathematics, Art, French, English, Chemistry, Physics, Biology. The students found the comparison between cultures to be very interesting!"
After their day at school, our students visited Hellbrunn Palace, an early Baroque villa of palatial size, near Morzg, a southern district of the city of Salzburg. The original owner was Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, the same Prince-Archbishop who founded the Akademisches Gymnasium. Sittikus built the villa in 1613–19 and named it for the "Hellbrunn" (clear spring) that supplied it.
People familiar with the movie The Sound of Music will recognize Hellbrunn Palace for its trick fountains which Frau Hodgdon considered "pretty incredible engineering for the time!" The castle grounds also contain the movie's famous gazebo where Liesel and Rolf sing “16 Going On 17” and where Captain von Trapp and Maria perform their romantic duet, “Something Good.”
"Before heading home to their host families, a few students went 'kneippen,' which is an Austrian health program that involves walking in frigid water while meditating," Frau Hodgdon noted. The loosely structured late afternoon program had some students try Sachertorte, have dinner at an Italian restaurant, while a third group visited Mozart's birthplace in the center of Salzburg.

The students got to explore the inner city's pedestrian zone with its boutique shops and the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) at its center. The 12th-century cathedral took more than 440 years to complete and is considered a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, featuring stunning stained glass windows and a 450-foot south tower with intricate sandstone carvings.
They also visited Hofburg Palace, the once principal residence of the Habsburg monarchs, the Spanish Riding School with its 400-year tradition of raising and training the white Lippizaner horses, as well as the Nationalbibliothek (National Library) with its high-ceilinged State Hall and over 200,000 rare and historical texts among its total collection of 12 million books, manuscripts, and other cultural artifacts.
Students were also fascinated by the Albertina Museum in the heart of Vienna. The museum's collection includes over one million works of art from the late Gothic period to contemporary art, among them drawings, etchings, and prints by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, and Rembrandt. The museum also has a strong collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Egon Schiele, and Andy Warhol. On the Naschmarkt, Vienna's largest and most popular outdoor market, students got to see a wide variety of traditional Viennese foods and drinks.
As Frau Hodgdon reported: "It was a mega long day in Vienna, leaving school at 7:30 this morning and returning at 10:15 pm. But boy, did we see a lot! The kids were certainly troopers today - we walked about 10 miles in all kinds of weather today and they are exhausted!" She especially appreciated the tour guiding skills of Fritz Baier, the exchange program contact at the Akademisches Gymnasium in Salzburg: "The whole time, Fritz regaled us with stories about Vienna - we are lucky to have such a walking fountain of knowledge with us!"

The mine has been worked for over 2,600 years and was a main contributor to the economic and political rise of the city of Salzburg whose name literally translates as "salt castle."
As Frau Hodgdon reported, "We had a great day traveling to Hallein to see the salt mines. We had a fantastic tour of what a real salt mine used to look like and how salt was produced. It was awesome being underground, in tunnels, traveling in by train car, sliding down giant slides, having a boat ride, and a tour guide who explained everything in three languages!"
In addition to the exploration of the salt mine nearly 700 feet underground and almost 4,000 feet away from the entrance, students got to cross an international border underground (see photo below).
Another key takeaway of the day: one has to learn to negotiate the public transportation system with care and watch out for people on the bike paths!

Our students will spend a fun weekend with their host families and get to know Salzburg! The weather is still a bit more wintry than the 80-degree temperatures they had experienced ahead of the trip, and despite an early bloom in Salzburg, there is now a fresh layer of snow into the low altitudes of the Alps, as the last picture shows.

Eighteen students participated in the trash cleanup. They filled over 4 large trash bags during their sweep of the campus grounds and popular trail.
Students hope to make this an annual tradition at ConVal and increase participation next year!
Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events, including cleanups. The official theme for 2023 is "Invest In Our Planet."

These individual differences are referred to as chronotypes, and they are thought to be influenced by genetics. In Anne Clifton-Waite's AP Biology Class, students learned how to use DNA analysis to determine whether someone is a morning lark or night owl.
The DNA analysis involves examining specific genetic markers, in this case the PER3 gene which has two variants: a long allele and a short allele. Individuals with the long allele tend to be morning types, while those with the short allele are more likely to be night owls.
To conduct the DNA analysis, a sample of DNA is usually collected using a non-invasive method such as a cheek swab or saliva sample. The DNA is then sequenced, and specific genetic markers are examined to determine the individual's chronotype.
The procedure that students in the class learned to employ is the PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. This laboratory technique involves three main steps — denaturation, annealing, and extension. The steps are repeated multiple times in a cycle, with each cycle doubling the number of copies of the target DNA sequence. 30 cycles were performed, resulting in millions of copies of the target sequence for analysis.
Gel electrophoresis was then used to visualize the results. By analyzing the ladders that developed as the result of electrophoresis and looking for tell-tale band separation markers, students were able to determine whether their genetic proclivity tended towards being a night owl or a morning lark, or somewhere in between.
As Anne Clifton-Waite stressed to the class, while DNA analysis can provide valuable insights into an individual's sleep preferences, it is important to note that genetics is not the only factor that influences chronotype. Environmental factors, such as exposure to light and social habits, also play a role. A video she showed also emphasized an individual's chronotype can change over time, particularly during adolescence and early adulthood.

Winslow had set up ten different stations which asked students to complete tasks such as pulling a rope hand-over-hand, stacking cups, putting together puzzles, and throwing dice. Students measured their completion times or how frequently events occurred, such as any one of the dice coming up with the number 6.
The aim of this exercise in applied statistics was to generate data in a fun way and to use them for statistical concepts, such as tendency (mean, median, mode), variability (range, variance, standard deviation), and others. Students analyzed the data in terms of in-class comparisons between students and established comparisons with the respective other section of the course.
"Collecting data to make statistical comparisons of two different sections of Statistics students was the best way to illustrate the complete workflow from data generation to analysis," said Winslow.

To protect her people and save her one true love, O'Malley must confront the one woman more powerful than her: her fierce rival, Queen Elizabeth I of England.
From the writers of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon, the show combines classic storytelling and a sweeping score, with the powerful, vibrant traditions of Irish dance and song, to create a modern musical event that is both historic romance and a timeless epic.

Students in the 4th block class worked as a team to build a 5-meter long wave machine out of gumdrops, bamboo skewers, and duct tape.
Students got to experiment with the device to model wave properties such as amplitude, energy, speed, and frequency.
This was a super fun team-building and modeling activity, and the class truly rallied together to build, modify, and play with the wave generator.

Students are exploring the role that air plays in enabling a sound vibration to travel. In the activity, Act Out a Sound, students do two short experiments that explore sound vibrations. Students experiment with sound to understand how it moves through the air and then consider what would happen in an environment like space, where there is no air.
We have come a long way from strings and cups.

What sounds like an outlandish idea — bringing an entire mattress showroom into a school for a day to raise funds for student activities — proved to be highly successful with early estimates for a profit exceeding $6,000. The money raised will be used for scholarships for band and choir students.
The music department thanks the students who participated and the community for their support of this fundraiser.

Cox presented the wide variety of pathways that are open to students after high school, including 2-year and 4-year college options as well as professional and certificate programs. The presentation included a segment on the NH Scholars Program which qualifies successful completers for scholarships and college application fee waivers. Cox also emphasized that specific courses may qualify high school students for eStart and Running Start credits that bring down the overall cost of a post-secondary education.
Cox encouraged students to take the lead in being advocates for their career goals and exploring opportunities outside the classroom through co-curricular activities, community service, summer programs, extended learning opportunities (ELOs), and career exploration programs.
The final portion of the NHHEAF college and career planning presentation was devoted to the calculation of the true cost of college education, the availability of financial aid, and different ways to secure funding from a variety of sources.

The ConVal School Board wishes to thank you, the voters, for your continued support of our students, staff, and programming. Even three feet of snow, power outages, and a delayed vote could not stop your dedication to our community and our schools.
Voter approval of the 2023-2024 operating budget ensures a continued excellent and supportive education for the children of our district. For the Board and administration, this was a months-long process, developing a budget that is both educationally sound and fiscally responsible in financially difficult times. We also appreciate your support of all remaining articles, from the building capital reserve trust fund to the health maintenance trust fund.
Please help us welcome both new and re-elected School Board members: William Bryk (Antrim), R. Michael Hoyt (Bennington), Thomas John Kirlin (Francestown), Dan Harper (Hancock), Greg Kriebel (Peterborough), and Jim Fredrickson (Sharon).
Thank you again for your support. For a .pdf file with detailed results, please click here.

Students learned how to conduct an energy audit by working their way through eight stations located throughout the building. Harris Center guides taught students how to measure electricity usage with Kill-A-Watt monitors and how to evaluate the energy savings of LED lights. Students got to test the interior and exterior temperatures of single-, double-, and triple-pane windows to measure heat loss. In other areas, they applied their math skills to determine how much water the Center’s composting toilets save, and to work out how much forest area is required to sustainably grow the amount of wood used to heat the building with the pellet boiler.
Thank you, Harris Center, for this unique applied learning experience!

She will be immersed in the rainforests and beaches of Costa Rica’s Caribbean slope. Days will be spent collecting data and planning hands-on lessons near Pacuare Reserve, a field research station managed by EPI.
Young will work alongside researchers and instructors on a variety of ongoing ecological studies, such as monitoring leatherback sea turtles and observing the behavior and social structures of primates.
Throughout the program, Young and other Fellows will learn strategies they can bring back to their classrooms to help students observe, question, collect data, and critically analyze the world around them.
Established as a nonprofit organization in 2001, the mission of Ecology Project International (EPI) is to inspire youth with nature and empower them with science, fostering tomorrow’s leaders.

This letter is to inform you about 2023 Softball and Baseball Try Outs at SMS.
Try Outs for both Softball and Baseball will start MONDAY, March 27th. Try outs are for any SMS student in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th.
Softball try outs will start at 2:30 and end at 4:00 on March 27th and the team will be made by March 31. There will be no practice March 31 due to a school dance in our gym.
After try outs end at 4:00, players may go home on the late bus, walk, or be taken home by their parents after 4:00.
Baseball try outs will start at 4:00 and end at 5:30 on March 27th. and the team will be made by March 31. There will be no practice March 31 due to a school dance in our gym.
Baseball players trying out will have to go home after school and should be dropped off at the back of the SMS gym by 3:50. The back doors will be open.
No one trying out will be allowed to stay after school please.
If you pick up your child after any of the BB or SB practices, always pick up your child in the UPPER BACK LOT no later than 10 minutes after practice ends please.
All players must dress appropriately for indoor try outs: sneakers, shorts or sweat pants, t shirt or sweat shirt, baseball/softball glove and a water bottle. Hats may be worn, but only in the gym. Masks are optional for softball. PLEASE do NOT buy any new equipment for your child until the teams are made.
I expect close to 20-25 athletes trying out for each team.
Both teams will be made by March 31 and the last day of tryouts for both teams is March 30th. Roster for players making the team will be put in the girls locker room for softball and the boys locker room for baseball on Friday the 31st.
As soon as weather permits both teams will transition to the OUTDOORS.
Softball will practice at SMS and Adams Playground. All games are played at Adams playground. Boys will practice at South Meadow and play games on our own baseball field. Both practices will start at 2:30 sharp and end at 4:00.. Players will then go home on the late bus, walk, or be taken home by their parents by 4:10. Girls will be transported to Adams and back to South Meadow in time for the late bus. Softball players could be collected at Adams by there parents as well. For HOME games softball players must be picked up by their parents at Adams Playground after the game and baseball players at SMS.
Playing Baseball and Softball at South Meadow is a 4-5 weekday commitment so all players trying out must be able to make this commitment.
Players must have in their respective coaches’ possession a parent permission form by the first day of tryouts. An updated physical form must be in our nurses office by the first day of tryouts. The physical form expires every two years. Any SMS athlete trying out, that has not take the initial impact test this year or last year, must take the test before trying out. You may access how to take the test on the SMS website. See attached impact test letter please.
Thank you,
SIL SMS Athletic Director

Softball, Baseball, or The Running Club Team.
My name is Tod Silegy and I am completing my 23rd year at South Meadow School as Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director, and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Softball Coach.
To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Baseline Test, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home, this week if possible.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about add, headaches, dizziness, etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. You may also click that you do not want to complete any demographics. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own. In the end you do not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out!
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base. You do not have to send me any information.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for next year as well. If you child did NOT take the test last year or this year, they HAVE TO take it this year for spring sports.

This certainly has been a challenging few days for all of us, and we recognize that, for some of you, that challenge continues.
It is important that students have the opportunity to attend school, so school will be open tomorrow Friday, March 17, 2023.
However, many of our roads remain too narrow for our buses to travel through. In order to provide all students with the chance to come to school, we will be running limited, main-roads-only bus routes, and we will be asking families to bring students to specific locations to access transportation or, alternatively, to drive students to school themselves.
To be sure that families have the time necessary to bring their students to a centralized stop, there will be a two-hour delay tomorrow, March 17, in the ConVal School District.
Between 5 PM and 6 PM this evening, bus stops and approximate times for those stops will be shared with families; these will be shared by direct email from your student’s principal, as well as on the ConVal School District website and our social media platforms.
We recognize that this arrangement may not work for everyone. As a result, if you choose to keep your child home or are unable to bring your child to the central bus location, their absence tomorrow will be marked as excused.
Our goal is to provide every student with the opportunity to attend school tomorrow. This is neither an ideal situation nor a perfect solution, but it is the fabric of our District to embrace difficult situations and make the best of challenging circumstances.
Thank you for your support and patience as we navigate the impacts of this significant snowstorm.
Be well,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders
Superintendent
ConVal School District

Hassan visited all program areas: digital photography, careers in education, business, manufacturing, and engineering.
During her tour, Hassan interacted with students, asking them about the CTE classes they were taking and about their plans for the future, after graduation from ConVal High School. She also spoke about the legislative proposals that have been introduced in Washington to draw greater attention to the importance of career and technical education in preparing young students for their futures in the highest need jobs areas in the trades.
An unexpected fire alarm during the Senator's visit brought the entire school out into the parking lot, demonstrating the effectiveness of the school's emergency procedures. It was also a time for students and staff members to pose for selfies and pictures with Hassan in an informal setting.
Thank you, Senator Hassan, for your visit!

The event gave parents and guardians an opportunity to meet with their student’s TASC homeroom teacher, classroom teachers, and school counselor. ConVal School Board members Dick Dunning and Alan Edelkind were also in attendance to meet and greet parents.
More than 100 families came out to interact with teachers and school counselors. On breaks between classroom visits, they enjoyed seeing examples of student work, such as a wall of 2D artwork in the art wing and a slideshow of photographs for which students had won Scholastic Medals in the digital photography area. Some parents signed up to volunteer at future school activities.
Parallel to the second semester Open House, parents of incoming students also had an opportunity to visit the school and to meet principal McKillop and other members of the administration, including Director of School Counseling Terri Drogue. ATC Director Jen Kiley joined families on tours of the Applied Technology Center facilities.

I am writing to inform you of an incident at Peterborough Elementary School, where an apparent hoax phone call made a non-credible threat against school safety. Similar hoaxes have been carried out against other districts in New Hampshire today, and we have coordinated with the New Hampshire Department of Education in response to this incident.
At 11 a.m. today Peterborough Police responded to Peterborough Elementary School after receiving a call claiming shots had been fired at the school.
Students were not present at the time, since vacation week remains ongoing. The threat was thoroughly investigated and deemed to be an instance of “swatting,” similar to those that have occurred at schools throughout New England in recent weeks.
Peterborough Police, out of an abundance of caution, conducted a building search and perimeter check, confirming there were no unauthorized individuals on or near school property, nor any threat to the school.
The incident remains under active investigation by the Peterborough Police Department. Please see this press release from the Department of Safety.
I know news like this can be concerning, and even though it was a hoax, it’s a matter we take with the utmost seriousness. Thankfully, we have no reason to believe that there is any danger to students or staff stemming from this incident.
If any parent or guardian has any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders
Superintendent

The rally began with a spirited tic-tac-toe game played with jerseys and each of the four classes — freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors — forming teams.
The basketball game proved to be the audience favorite with students and staff cheering both teams and applauding wildly when either of the teams scored.
In between the quarters of the game, there were more class-related contests, including a ConVal Quiz game that tested student familiarity with ConVal-centered trivia, such as which sports team last won a state championship.
Though much of the Unified vs. Faculty/Staff exhibition game was close, it ended with a rather decisive final score of 62:48 in favor of the Unified squad. Congratulations!

ILS students make and sell various types of breads (e.g., pumpkin, banana, banana chocolate chip). Each slice is reasonably priced at $1 and all proceeds go to help a member of our ConVal Community.

On their tour of the Region 14 Applied Technology Center at ConVal High School, DCS students enjoyed getting hands-on with student woodworking samples, such as puzzles, wooden dice, nutcrackers, and handmade “Thor” mallets that high schoolers had produced for their midterm exam.
In the engineering lab, they learned about additive and subtractive manufacturing. Engineering teacher Karen Fabianski showed off a student project that combined both techniques — a laser-engraved chess board (subtractive manufacturing) and 3D-printed chess pieces (additive manufacturing).

CTE Month takes place each February to celebrate the accomplishments of CTE programs and the importance of CTE for students of all ages.
To showcase the wide variety of career-preparing course options that are being offered at the Region 14 Applied Technology Center (ATC), middle school and elementary school students of the ConVal School District were invited to tour the facilities and connect with teachers in the various programs.
On Monday alone, 170 students visited the ATC to explore classes and see demonstrations in digital photography, woodworking, elementary education, business, computer networking, programming, robotics, and game design. By Friday, more than 700 students are expected, including visitors from neighboring district schools such as Conant, Boynton, and Highbridge Hill.
CTE Month is a public awareness campaign that is hosted by the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and is sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.

Chair, ConVal School Board
The day to vote on the 2023-24 ConVal budget is March 14th in your local polling place. All households in the nine towns in our regional school district will receive an annual flyer with the budget and the warrant articles, and information on your voting locations and times. We sincerely hope you will make the commitment to vote for the school budget on the 14th — our students are counting on you.
We all know it’s crucial we make good decisions. If you have children enrolled in the district schools, if you are a community-oriented person who believes in investing in our children, or if you are simply thinking about real estate values and taxes, the school budget vote makes us sit up and pay attention.
But the issues are complicated and straightforward, understandable facts can sometimes be hard to come by. The ConVal School Board would like to offer some information that we believe is important to your decision. The Board has posted a series of articles on the ConVal School Board website. The information includes the proposed 2023-2024 budget, a PowerPoint including highlights of the proposed budget, the warrant, a sample ballot, an explanation of the trust funds, and information on how property taxes are determined. You can find that information here: schoolboard.convalsd.net/budget.
There is a Community Forum on March 6th at 6:00 PM in Lucy Hurlin Theatre, whose subject will be the proposed budget. The Forum is live-streamed at this link: youtube.com/c/ConValEvents. You will be able to find the recording on YouTube, after March 6th. You can also contact your school board representative with questions, those representatives are also listed under the school board link.
The ConVal 2023-2028 Strategic Plan is now finished and approved and moving into implementation. You can find the plan in the "Quicklinks" section of the ConVal website under the heading "District Strategic Plan 2028."
Included in the proposed budget is the ability to begin the work of reaching our identified student-centered outcomes. The increase in the budget is at 1.35% — an accomplishment during these challenging economic times. Kudos to the school and SAU administration: their hard work and ability to balance student needs and taxpayer limits was accomplished through skill and creativity.
Public education is facing challenges across the country. ConVal has fared better than most but the ever-decreasing state funding and an onslaught of legislation and unfunded mandates present serious barriers.
Despite this reality, our schools continued to gain recognition and awards. In academics and the arts, last year alone, the ConVal High School Choir won a Gold Medal and the ConVal High School Band won a Platinum Medal at the Great East Music Festival (well-deserved!!). A ConVal High School student won first prize at the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival, “Everest to End Duchenne.” Juniors and seniors achieved: 15 AP Student Performance and 4 Scholars With Honors Awards; 4 Scholastic Writing and 35 Scholastic Arts Awards; 2 National Merit Scholarship Commendations.
The GBS and SMS Robotics teams respectively won First Place and participated in the World Championships in Dallas. A ConVal Applied Technology Center student garnered the Best Overall Project award from the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIANH).
ConVal students also demonstrated good citizenship, winning the First Prize in the American Legion Oratorical Contest and the DAR Good Citizen Award. Two high school students received the Peter R. Marsh Foundation Silent Servant Award in the fall.
Our sports teams brought home their share of honors as well, among them the Division 3 State Championships, Middle School Girls Cross Country, teams A & B; SMS Boys Soccer, 2nd in Tri-County Championship; ConVal High School Lacrosse WMUR Hometown Hero Award; Athletic All-State Honors for ConVal High School Boys Soccer, Golf, Girls Field Hockey, Soccer and Volleyball; the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Sports Awards (ConVal High School Soccer and Volleyball); Keene Sentinel Player of the Year Awards Soccer and Volleyball; Keene Sentinel Player of the Week Honors Boys Soccer, Football and Girls Volleyball. And just weeks ago, two Cougar alpine skiers qualified for the NHIAA Division II Meet of Champions.
Our staff are great, too, and were recognized for their excellence this past year: ConVal staff received the School Librarian of the Year Award and the New Hampshire Society for Technology in Education Technology Impact Award. The Applied Technology Center was recognized by the New England Association of Woodworking Teachers with the Program of the Year Award. ConVal High School's soccer coach received the Division II Soccer Coach of the Year Award, and a Great Brook School teacher was a semi-finalist for the honor of New Hampshire Teacher of the Year.
Beyond classroom learning, our students enjoy expanded educational opportunities with a variety of community and state-based organizations: the Harris Center for Conservation Education; Lab Girls; the Cornucopia Project; and New Hampshire Fish and Game.
There are cooperative partnerships with the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF); Keene State College; the Community College System of New Hampshire; Upward Bound; Career Day; and Stem Fest UNH.
Our students are matched in Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs) and internships with a wide variety of local employers. They engage with service organizations like the Rotary, the Lions Club, and the Daughters of the American Revolution. They also regularly connect with local emergency management departments, fire departments, and police departments; local libraries and senior centers; and community organizations like the River Center and the Grapevine.
In addition to classroom visits by a wide variety of local artists, such as writer-illustrator Marty Kelley and Cy Montgomery, our students also get to expand their physical education and movement skills through artist–in-residency programs like those offered by the Wunderle's Big Top Adventures Circus and the New Hampshire Dance Institute (NHDI).
Music enrichment activities are provided by Monadnock Music, the Temple Band, and Electric Earth Concerts. At the high school level, student writers and photographers gain valuable experience through their collaboration with the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript by editing and publishing "The Link." And for those who are interested in serving as first responders in their communities, ConVal offers EMT training, scenario-based firefighter training, and LNA certifications.
All of these expanded learning opportunities are designed to help connect our students to the nine towns that make up ConVal, explore the rich cultural resources in our district, and offer them pathways to their future careers.
Again, the budget for which we are asking support is conservative: the operating budget has a 1.35% increase over the current year’s budget. In the face of declining state revenues, the school board fully recognizes both its responsibility to taxpayers and to the children and families of these nine communities.
The need for an education that prepares our students for the rigors of independent and informed decisions and action in our democracy has never been greater. The Board is fully invested in comprehensively addressing one of our most pressing problems — managing the cost of education while maintaining excellence and equity in education for all students.
We hope that you agree and vote yes for the budget.

This final article will review how the school budget is used to calculate the “local education” portion of property taxes in the nine towns in the District.

Good afternoon,
We wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the ConVal School District’s afternoon plans.
All afterschool activities have been canceled.
To ensure that students stay warm and are safe, we will be adding walkers to bus routes. Additionally, the bus company will be working to drop every student off as close to their home as possible taking into consideration that some of the bus fleet cannot access some of our most rural areas.
We anticipate that this modification will cause our buses to be approximately 20-25 minutes late. We share this so that you will not be concerned if your student(s) are late, we strongly encourage you to keep to after-school routines related to your student’s arrival home or to after-school care in the event that the buses do not run as late as anticipated.
In order to accommodate the change to the bus schedules and to attempt to create a cushion for the tardiness of the buses, we will dismiss the middle and high school students approximately 10 minutes early. Elementary schools will message parents when buses have left the elementary school buildings.
We recognize that extending the time of bus routes is not ideal, please be patient as we work to be sure that all our students are transported home safe and warm for the weekend.
Be well,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders
Superintendent

It’s “Budget Season” again - that time of year when there is a lot of activity going on from a school budget and property tax bill point of view. As such, it’s time to start our annual series of articles regarding the financial aspects of running the District.
We’re going to take the same approach to these articles as we did last year. This series will address those aspects of these that are either new or specific to this year.
Prior to that, our financial articles built a base of knowledge about the school budget and the property tax process. So, if you need a refresher, those documents are still available on the School Board website Budget “Archives”: schoolboard.convalsd.net/2020/11/
With that in mind, here’s a brief preview of some the articles we’ll be publishing between now and the vote in March:
These new articles (as well as all previous financial publications) will all be available on the ConVal School Board website: https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/budget/
This article includes information on:
We’ll let you know when we post new material.
FY24 ConVal School Budget Schedule
Included below are the key dates and events associated with this budget cycle. The first three have been completed:
The two most significant changes this budget cycle include:
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 articles in this series – they will discuss the proposed FY24 budget and how it might impact your property tax bills.

The targeted focus of the grant is to help school districts expand access to attaining industry-recognized credentials for students in career technical education programs.
With the funding, the ATC will purchase the Snap-On Precision Measurements Instruments Certification Kit and offer Train-the-Trainer professional development to two instructors so they may teach students how to measure accurately. The Kit includes measurement tools such as tape and rule, slide calipers, gauges, angles, micrometers, and dial gauges.
"We are thrilled that our students will now be able to obtain this industry-recognized certification," said Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders. "We wish to thank the New Hampshire Department of Education for this generous grant, which will surely help advance our students' knowledge and prepare them for successful careers in the trades. We would also like to offer a special thanks to Jennifer Kiley, Director of the ATC, for her hard work in obtaining this competitive grant."
The ATC’s local industry partners have repeatedly shared that the need to measure accurately is an essential skill for their employees and one they often find lacking in job applicants. By providing the students the opportunity to become certified in multiple modes of measurement, the ATC seeks to make graduates of the CTE programs more career-ready.
The ATC plans to first train Manufacturing and Engineering students and eventually open the program to students and staff in the Automotive Tech and Construction Trades pathways.
Students who earn the Precision Measurements Instrument Certifications may elect to go on to earn the Advanced Measuring Instruments Certification.

They had to design a scientific experiment involving salt (their current unit of study), propose a hypothesis, conduct the experiment following the scientific method, and then present the experiment and its results to students and visitors in class — and do all of it in German!
The students’ presentations ranged from the effect of salt water on Gummi bears and the importance of adding salt to rice crispies to how adding salt to water affects buoyancy and how different types of salt (Himalayan rock salt, iodized salt, and kosher salt) melt ice differently. All student experiments were solidly researched and well presented in the target language.
Congratulations to all students in the two classes who combined science knowledge and German skills in such an impressive manner!

The Solidworks software is used to assemble the parts, transfer the CAD file to a two-dimensional .jpg file, and then convert it to a RoboDemo (.rd) file that is used to create training simulations and product demonstrations. The .rd file contains the computer instructions to control the speed and feed rate for a laser engraver/cutter.
This unique take on the lantern design assignment was created by senior Wyatt Beaulieu.

We hope you have weathered this storm. We are ready to welcome students back to school tomorrow, March 17, 2023. We will have a two hour delay and will follow our usual schedule for a delay, with arrival between 10:20-10:40 AM.
Due to the continuing hazardous road conditions in many towns, there will be some significant changes to bus routes. In many cases, buses can only travel on main roads; therefore, families will need to transport their children to the identified bus pick-up/drop-off locations, which can be found below as well as on the Conval district website and social media sites. Any student who cannot be transported to school by families or to the designated bus pick-up/drop-off locations will be considered absent excused.
Bennington/Pierce Bus Stops
Please contact the bus company by phone at (603) 924-9211 for any questions regarding the routes, if you have other questions or concerns please reach out to me.
Warmest regards,
Beth Gibney
Principal

The rules were simple: decorate your TASC homeroom door in a holiday theme, but without leaving any damage to the door or obstructing the door windows and handles.
The Class of 2023 took photos of each decorated door after TASC on December 19. The photos were uploaded to a Google Form and shared so the whole school could vote for their favorite.
The winner was announced Friday morning. Selected "most favorite door" by students and staff was the TASC homeroom of Mr. Winslow who scored 50 points for the freshman class in the year-long school spirit competition. Congratulations!

New to the program this year will be the addition of the Peterborough Elementary Fourth Grade Choir which will be performing three songs under the direction of Hannah Petrick.
The ConVal High School performers will entertain the audience with a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from traditional Hannukah Festival music, performed by the Concert Band, to "Tom Sawyer" by the Canadian rock band Rush, played by the Contemporary Band.
The vocal ensembles will perform an equally wide-ranging repertoire: there will be traditional songs like "The Sleigh" and "Winter Wonderland" to modern classics like "This Christmas" by soul singer Donny Hathaway and "Don’t Save It All For Christmas Day" by Celine Dion.
As is now tradition, the Annual ConVal Winter Concert will conclude with "Christmas Festival" which will give visiting alumni and audience members a chance to sing along to a medley of holiday songs.
The Annual Winter Concert is an audience favorite. Please arrive in time to get a good seat!

This year, the students' legislative proposals cover a wide range of issues: expanding affordable housing in the state; teaching world languages, starting at the elementary school level; reintroducing grey wolves into their traditional New Hampshire habitats; improving recyclable packaging guidelines; reassessing helmet laws; and restricting the expenditure of political action committee (PAC) monies to the last two weeks of a campaign.
Once formalized, these proposals will be carried forward to the pre-legislative session in March 2023, where state officials will be elected from participating high schools and two students from the state will be selected to participate in the Youth Advocacy Day in Washington, DC. In April 2023, an all-encompassing two-day model legislature session will be held at the State House in Concord.
Youth and Government, also known as Model Legislature and Court, is a program of the YMCA that has been in existence for nearly seven decades. The purpose of the program is to prepare high school students for political citizenship in local, state, or national government roles. The program serves approximately 300 teens from 30 schools throughout New Hampshire.

"The community appreciated all the effort that the students brought to provide wonderful music to the friends and families of Francestown!

There were simple, traditional designs but also elaborate builds with snowmen, swimming pools, and Christmas trees on the virtual lawn outside the gingerbread house. Some designs featured candy fire coming out of the chimney, and some had Santa on the rooftop.
The completed gingerbread houses were judged on such criteria as cultural authenticity, neatness, and creativity. The overall favorite was gingerbread house #5.
So that all students and staff could enjoy seeing their work, all student designs went on display on the lunch serving counter in the cafeteria.

The program will include the following song selections:
"The Great Clear Twilight" (Austin Schend)
"All Through the Night" (arr. William Averitt)
"All is Quiet" (Josh Sparkman)
"October Sun" (Daniel Elder)
"Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" (arr. Paul Langford, originally performed by Celine Dion)

With the changeover from fall to winter sports, FCVA is looking for volunteers.
There is an immediate need for Saturday, December 10. According to FCVA Volunteer Chair Jen Bergeron: "Specifically, we are in need of volunteers for Saturday's all-day Wrestling Tournament. We're looking for people to work the stand for however long they can, and for others who can donate crock pots or other food items."
To volunteer, please follow this SignUp Genius link. Prior volunteering experience is not required, and you can choose which winter sports team to support.
"Volunteers can earn money for any FCVA team they choose, for every hour or food item," Bergeron continued. "All those who volunteered and contributed in the fall season earned $28 per hour/item for the team of their choice. We also gladly accept food and money donations!"
Friends of ConVal Athletics fosters a spirit of cooperation and support among ConVal athletes and the broader community. For more details, please visit the FCVA Facebook page or contact Jen Bergeron at fcvavolunteer@gmail.com with any questions you may have.

The title of her workshop, which she presented in collaboration with R. Lennon Audrain, was "Designing and Implementing Grow-your-own Education Programs using Work-based Learning."
The presentation addressed the "grow-your-own (GYO) teacher programs" under the Education & Training career cluster in school districts. According to the workshop description, as schools and districts continue to build these programs, "it will be essential that they use best practices for teaching their students the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to — and capturing their interest in — work in the education field. In this session, GYO and Education & Training teachers will learn how to design and implement work-based learning experiences that are grounded in best practices for teaching their students how to think and act like education professionals."
As part of its mission to provide educational leadership in developing a competitive workforce, ACTE seeks to empower educators to deliver high-quality CTE programs which ensure that all students are positioned for career success.

Working their way through the maze, students gained proficiency moving around — under obscured vision conditions — through doors, diminished clearances, as well as over and under obstructions. During the exercise, students were working on communication and becoming more familiar with their air packs.
The New Hampshire Fire Academy & EMS campus in Corncord provides scenario-based trainings that cover a wide range of emergencies, including firefighter survival instruction, aircraft emergencies, and hazardous material response.

Huntington Architectural Woodworking Company and the PHAZE Welding Technology Center — to explore the manufacturing process, from design to finished product.
"Both of these facilities offered hands-on demonstrations of all the steps that are involved in production," said Michael Scaramellino. "The tour guides also gave advice regarding potential internship opportunities as students advance in the Manufacturing program at ConVal."
"But what made this experience truly special," Scaramelliono continued, "is that they also shared what expectations and skills employers and companies are looking for as students make career choices and get ready to enter the workforce."
If you are looking to learn more about Manufacturing & Engineering, please speak with your guidance counselor to see what course options are available in ConVal's Applied Technology Center next semester.

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!
Wrestling is about building Self-confidence!
Wrestling is everything you are now, building upon that, and creating ………….where you want to Be, “The Master of your own Success”.
Are you up to the challenge to create a better YOU!
The Middle school wrestling season begins the last week of November after Thanksgiving

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."

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!

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.
What topics are being presented?
There will be three presentations at this forum being:
QUALITY CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURES & CLIMATE
SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURES FOR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY
EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES, FINANCIAL PROCESSES, AND INFRASTRUCTURE
MAINTAIN HIGH QUALITY STAFFING THROUGH RETENTION, RECRUITMENT, AND CULTIVATING AND MAINTAINING A DESIRABLE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

This will be the third presentation and with Q/A’s is scheduled to take 15 minutes.
Meet and greet.

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.

Based on Agatha Christie’s 1939 mystery novel by the same title, the play follows a group of ten guests who have been invited to the castle by a mysterious stranger. Though none of the guests know each other, nor their host, it becomes clear in the course of the evening dinner that what they all have in common is that they bear responsibility for the deaths of others. One by one, the guests meet their fate under bizarre and inexplicable circumstances.
"I will be the first to admit to being the kind of person who watches a gruesome true crime documentary to 'relax' at the end of a long day," said Liz Moore. "Who doesn’t enjoy a great 'whodunnit' with a few twists, turns, and head-scratching clues to unravel?"
The play has generated extraordinary student interest and participation. "There are not words to properly describe how exciting it was to have 33 students audition (for only 11 roles)," Moore noted. "We have not had that many people audition for a straight play in my 13 years at ConVal. We’ve double-cast two previous productions, but NEVER triple, and never have we had specifically identified understudies."
The following table illustrates the various ensembles ("Stage Right," "Stage Left," and "Back Stage") and the student participants in their respective roles:
[table id=74 /]The play's production staff includes: Esther Janis, AJ Mackensen (Stage Managers); Jennifer Hopkins (Lighting Designer); Josh Ellis (Sound Designer); Elijah LaCroix (Sound Effects); Frank LeBlanc (Microphone Tech); Kettu Reynolds (Properties Manager); Isabella Stehly, Max DePoyster (Costume Design); Christian Hall, Mike Scaramellino, Jim Wickham (Set Construction); Anna-belle Buchanan, Kai Flynn, Alyssa Hamlin, Alex Williams (Crew); Jason Lambert (The Voice); and Liz Moore (Director, Season Producer).
Moore expressed gratitude to the many others who helped in the production: "We have had support from SO many within and without our building as we rebuild our program after the pandemic. We cannot thank you enough for your support for the Arts and all it brings us."
Opening night is November 3 at 7:00 pm, followed by performances on November 4 (7:00 pm) and on November 5 (2:00 pm and 7:00 pm). Tickets — $5 for students, staff, and seniors $5.00, $10 for adults — can be purchased online by clicking here.

Great Brook School's Maryanne Cullinan recently collaborated with colleagues from around the world and presented research at the Transformative Play Initiative Seminar that was held at Uppsala University in Gotland, Sweden.
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.”

My name is Tod Silegy and I am starting my 23rd year at South Meadow School as Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director, and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Soccer Coach.
To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home, this weekend if possible.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about add, headaches, dizziness, etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. You may also click that you do not want to complete any demographics. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own. In the end you do not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out!
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base. You do not have to send me any information.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for two years. If you child did NOT take the test last year, 2021, they HAVE TO take it this year. Thank you,
Tod Silegy SMS Athletic Director

While at the pond, students learned about Henry David Thoreau's life while residing at Walden Pond and the legacy he left behind for all Transcendentalist enthusiasts. The Education Director from The Walden Woods Project provided guided tours throughout the conservation land.
Students went to the Walden Pond visitor center/bookstore, explored the replica of Thoreau's cabin, walked to the original cabin site, and several of them decided that it was just warm enough to splash around in the pond.
The day before the field trip, students had painted rocks to leave at the growing memorial adjacent to the original cabin site, so a little bit of ConVal from 2022 will remain in the woods.
Despite the foggy, overcast weather, it was a beautiful day to be outside, enjoying nature.

ConVal High School students attended presentations about how they can further their education in dedicated CTE programs at Keene and how they, as technical program completers in the Applied Technology Center at ConVal, could already earn college credit.
The ConVal High School student group broke out into two class sessions, one before lunch and one after, based on the programs the students are currently in. One group went to ceramics and learned about clay. The instructor demonstrated how to make tiles and invited students to sculpt a self-portrait blindfolded. Additional activities included science and engineering mini-lessons, a 3D printing demonstration, and a visit to a photography exhibit.
Keene State currently offers CTE students up to 8 college credits from work accomplished. Scholarships are available for students who major in chemistry, biology, and sustainable product design and innovation – as supported by the STEPS Program and the Delmar Ogg Scholarship Fund.

This tradition was established in the late 1990s by Steve Bartsch and John Reitnauer, two recently retired A&P teachers and ConVal administrators.
The second unit in Anatomy class is Histology, the study of the cells and tissues that make up the human body. Students use microscopes to observe and diagram 22 different tissues found in mammalian organs and they learn to identify each one by sight. Often they will notice that a certain tissue resembles something familiar such as marshmallows or the rings of a tree stump.
Histo Art offers students a chance to express their observations in a creative way. This year, students painted sunsets, rubber-soled shoes, cherry blossoms, planets, weasels, and papayas inspired by their favorite tissues.
Over 75 students, teachers, parents, and administrators attended the show and voted for their favorite piece. The top four vote recipients will be announced in class Monday morning.

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.

Chairman, Budget & Property Committee
ConVal School Board
It’s “Budget Season” again - that time of year when there is a lot of activity going on from a school budget and property tax bill point of view. As such, it’s time to start our annual series of articles regarding the financial aspects of running the District.
We’re going to take the same approach to these articles as we did last year. This series will address those aspects of these that are either new or specific to this year.
Prior to that, our financial articles built a base of knowledge about the school budget and the property tax process. So, if you need a refresher, those documents are still available on the School Board website Budget “Archives”: https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/2020/11/
With that in mind, here’s a brief preview of some the articles we’ll be publishing between now and the vote in March:
These new articles (as well as all previous financial publications) will all be available on the ConVal School Board website: https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/budget/
This article includes information on:
We’ll let you know when we post new material. Stay tuned.

"We will present on various topics like Tracht (traditional clothing), Geschichte (history), Essen (food), Sicherheit (security), etc. and then we will sing and dance, dressed in our Dirndl und Lederhosen," said Cindi Hodgdon.
The Oktoberfest tradition dates back to 1810 when King Ludwig I of Bavaria married Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen and the residents of Munich were invited to celebrate their wedding with a multi-day festival that included horse races and food served in enormous festival tents. The king's decision to repeat the horse races, spectacle, and celebrations in 1811 launched what is now the annual Oktoberfest tradition.
Today, Oktoberfest is the world's largest “people’s festival” featuring music, food and drink, as well as a traditional traveling carnival. In Munich, Oktoberfest runs during the 16-18 days from mid September to October and attracts more than 6 million national and international visitors every year.

The play follows a group of ten guests who have been invited to an isolated island castle by a mysterious stranger. Though none of the guests know each other, nor their host, it becomes clear in the course of the evening dinner that what they all have in common is that they bear responsibility for the deaths of others. One by one, the guests meet their fate under bizarre and inexplicable circumstances.
With its spooky and mysterious aspects, this play is perfectly timed for Halloween. Opening night will be November 3 at 7:00 pm, followed by performances on November 4 and 5. Tickets — $5 for students, staff, and seniors $5.00, $10 for adults — can be purchased online by clicking here.
[qms_post_excerpt] => Set construction is underway for the ConVal Theatre Arts Program production of And Then There Were None …, a stage play that is based on Agatha Christie’s 1939 mystery novel by the same title.

Felicity wants everyone to know that we will raise them all year.
They will be released to the wild in late May or early June. We will help them grow so they will have a better chance to escape predators. Everyone should know that these turtles are not our pets and people should never take animals out of the wild and keep them. They should not purchase animals as pets and then release them either. Ms. Sutton hopes that by raising these delicate wild animals, the students will learn how to research, collect data, and care for our natural world. “The turtles help us learn in so many ways, and it is our job to pay it forward and respect their local habitat.” A special thank you goes out to Susie Spikol of the Harris Center for Conservation Education for helping to provide us with this opportunity for a second year.

During their time in the United States, the Austrian students will also have opportunities to go on field trips to see sights in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York.
This year marks the in-person return to the ConVal High School-Akademisches Gymnasium exchange between students from ConVal and students from Salzburg. The program has facilitated successful abroad experiences for students of both schools for more than twenty years.

In all, 200 pounds of food items were collected at the game, which was combined with the food purchased with a $250 Hannaford gift card donated by WMUR, $507 in cash donations and a $25 Shaw’s gift card.
The canned goods drive is organized by WMUR and the New Hampshire Food Bank, with schools across the state participating through Friday, Sept. 23.
Teacher Greg Morris’ advisory group earned a pizza party, donated by Friends of ConVal Athletics, for their efforts to collect the most donations of any advisory.

Anime Club is a positive place that promotes students to share their love and knowledge of anime, as well as appreciate Japanese culture. Members participate in viewing, drawing, discussing and learning about anime-related topics. No previous knowledge about anime is required to join, everyone is welcome! The attendance policy is: "come when you can."
According to advisor Rachel Berten, "The club is probably going to meet Thursdays after school, twice a month, but that could change depending on member availability. We plan to talk about Anime, watch anime, and possibly read manga. We have toyed with the idea of doing pen pals, trying different Japanese foods, learning to draw anime."
"One day," Berten concluded, "I would love to go to an animecon with the students, but that's a long ways off."
If you would like to join or get more information, please contact club advisor Rachel Berten at rberten@conval.edu.

Collection bins are located in TASC homerooms, and there will also be collection bins at each home game this week. The TASC room that acquires the most number of items will win a Pizza party hosted by the FCVA. We will coordinate a pick up at each of the TASC homerooms at the end of this week and on September 23.
In the past, we have collected over $2,500 in monetary donations as well as thousands of pounds of food, and ConVal has been the top collection site in the state. So let’s all show our Cougar pride and be the best in the state again this year. Thank you for your support!
Note: All food donations stay local and are distributed within the ConVal towns.

In the morning, Principal Heather McKillop and School Resource Officer Justin Hyland greeted students on the apron. After the reading of the Pledge and of the School Mission Statement, students went to their TASC homerooms to connect with their homeroom mentor and fellow students in their TASC group.
After TASC, students proceeded through their regular schedule of classes and had lunch in the cafeteria during Block 3. Principal McKillop stopped by several classes to greet new and returning students.
The day ended with dismissal at 2:20 pm under bright sunny skies.
All in all, it was a fairly routine first school day — just what many were looking forward to after the disruptions caused by the pandemic for the last two years.

“We are pleased to welcome Lionheart Academy to the greater ConVal community this fall, and are committed to fulfilling our statutory obligations in support of students who will be attending.
“I am aware of some conversation among our stakeholders regarding ConVal’s responsibility to Lionheart and its students, and felt it important to outline those responsibilities in a clear and concise way.
“ConVal is responsible for providing transportation to students attending Lionheart who would otherwise attend Peterborough Elementary School. As a result, ConVal will provide transportation to Lionheart students residing in Peterborough or Sharon.
“Additionally, subject to space limitations, Lionheart students who reside outside of those two communities, in Antrim, Bennington, Dublin, Greenfield, Francestown, Hancock and Temple, will be permitted to utilize existing stops on the Peterborough/Sharon bus network. This accommodation goes above and beyond our statutory obligations but is a step we believe will ultimately support students and families in the broader ConVal community. ConVal will not be expanding transportation services to accommodate additional bus routes to service the charter school.
“ConVal is also responsible for facilitating our district’s resident students’ special education needs, regardless of whether they attend one of our schools. We have been in regular communication with our colleagues at Lionheart in order to facilitate the learning needs of students in their special education program.
“Our core goal is supporting student learning, and we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Lionheart to ensure students have the resources they need to succeed. We look forward to a productive relationship with Lionheart and remain committed to fulfilling our responsibilities to all students in our district.”

The theme of her speech were the 13 years that the children of the ConVal communities spend as students in district schools.
"In those 2,340 days," Dr. Saunders remarked, "we don't just teach, we put band-aids on, put lost teeth in envelopes, we wipe noses, we tie shoes, we help select healthy foods. ... We teach them to play well with others, that they can trust others. ... We aid in teaching them how to work our their differences, and to express their emotions appropriately, so they can build healthy relationships with their peers throughout their lives. Every day counts."
Addressing academics, she observed: "In those 2,340 days, we teach them to read, so that they can discover and explore the knowledge and wonder that this world holds for them. ... We teach them to write so they can express themselves, explain themselves, and share with others their hopes and dreams for themselves and our world. ... We take them from learning to count objects to applying math in ways that will help them discover patterns, create models, and assist them in discovering ways to examine and solve problems. ... We teach them about community so that they can better understand the foundations of our democratic republic and are prepared to participate, promote, and protect it from those who seek to change the fiber of the country that was created for the people, by the people. Every day counts."
"In those 2,340 days, we don't just teach, we inspire, we comfort, we encourage, we support, and we celebrate. ... We enable our students to not only do well in school, but to help them do well in their lives outside of school — not so we can lead them, but so they can lead us to a brighter future. Every day counts."
"I look forward to our continued work together," Dr. Saunders concluded, "Please make every day count for our students, for our colleagues, and for our community."

Dear parents of ANY South Meadow School Student that would like to play a 2022 fall
sport at South Meadow School, starting August 31, 2022.
My name is Tod Silegy and I am starting my 23rd year at South Meadow School as
Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director, and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Soccer
Coach.
To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL
athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and
there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is
healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified
by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to
sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to
resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play,
your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion
Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it
compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home, BEFORE August 31.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that
will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code,
then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s
demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about add,
headaches, dizziness, etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure
how to answer these questions. You may also click that you do not want to complete
any demographics. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test
on their own. In the end you do not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out!
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test
data base. You do not have to send me any information.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at
SMS, and the test is good for two years. If you child did NOT take the test last
year,2021, they HAVE TO take it this year. Thank you,
Tod Silegy SMS Athletic Director

Dear parents of ANY South Meadow School Student that would like to play a 2022 fall
sport at South Meadow School, starting August 31,
Live for the first time since the pandemic, the ConVal Summer Academy's musical production of "Little Mermaid, Jr" delighted audiences with its three performances on August 4 and 5.
This magical example of stagecraft for younger and older students brought together an ensemble cast led by Alissa Cutting as Ariel, Daniel Sleeper as Prince Eric, Beau Olesky as King Triton, Isabella Stehly as Flounder, Rowan Davidson as Sebastian, and Haley Serafine as Ursula. Ace Smith (Andrina), Hannah Leahigh (Arista), Avery Swasey (Atina), Megan Millbauer (Adella), and Hadi Lancaric (Allana) showed off glittering voices in the choral numbers. Doc Cassidy was wonderful as the comical crab-hunting as Chef Louis as was Jazzy Woodhouse as Carlotta.
All of the participating students — Kaylyn Ross and Ryan Whitney as Flotsam and Jetsam, Madigan Rogers as Pilot, AJ Mackensen as Grimsby, Miriam Metzler as Seahorse, and Isabella Erikson, Collin Harris, Ellie Kiley, Grace Lacroix, Juliette Langley, and Morgan Salisbury as the Merfolk — contributed strongly to the performance that proved to be a treat for all senses, with vivid visuals provided by the lighting crew of Frank LeBlanc and Kettu Reynolds.
The ConVal Theatre production of "Little Mermaid, Jr" was expertly directed and choreographed by the Summer Academy trifecta of Elisabeth Moore, Brian Moore, and Rachel Diemler. Josh Ellis served as the Technical Director.
Thank you all for bringing live theater back to ConVal in such a spectacular way and thank you, audiences, for your continued support of Summer Academy's theatrical productions!

In addition to the robes which indicate the highest level of academic degree the wearer has earned — bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degree — the different colors of the hoods that are worn over the shoulders indicate the specific field of study in which the degree was obtained.
After everyone's attire has been properly set with the help of colleagues, there is time for a quick group photo before heading off to the stadium to lead the procession of 162 graduates to the commencement ceremonies.

Following up on the Athletic and Academic Awards and Scholarship Night on Wednesday, on Thursday they got to enjoy the traditional Senior Breakfast at ConVal and then took off for their senior trip which took them to Six Flags of New England in Agawam, MA.
"This past week was busy and full but it was a week of celebration and fun," said graduation advisor Jim Wickham. "I sincerely enjoyed working with this group of students in my role as graduation advisor."
"The graduates were attentive during rehearsals during the week, and worked hard to be prepared for graduation on Friday," he continued. "On Wednesday, Superintendent Dr. Rizzo Saunders took a moment on the mic to tell the graduates that this was a phenomenal dress rehearsal, maybe the best she's ever seen."
"Thursday was filled with activities, starting with Senior Breakfast and then straight to the buses for Six Flags. It rained most of the bus ride there, but it was mid-70s and sunny the entire time we were at the amusement park. The students were thrilled by the roller coasters and other rides. The 80 seniors couldn't have asked for a better concluding experience, especially since they had missed out on fun group activities and days like this during most of their high school careers."

"I believe it is important to tackle current events in the class," said Mike Wozmak.
The prompt for today's news-based discussion came from Marketplace Morning Report. While some students still reviewed the podcast online, Wozmak made sure to check in and engage with students individually before facilitating an informed whole-class discussion.

On June 14th, starting at 6:00 Sharp, the SMS Athletic Department will be hosting the 2021-2022 All SMS Sports Athletic Awards Ceremony in the South Meadow School Gymnasium.
Parents and their athlete or athletes are invited.
Dress is casual, but nice. Please park in the back of the school and come into to the back of the gym as well. There will be about 336 seats available on a first come first served basis, with overflow chairs available as well. The front doors will be locked. Students and parents can sit where they like.
Coaches will introduce their teams, briefly speak about their season, and present some individual awards.
Our two SMS principals will be awarding the male and female SMS 8th grade athletes of the year, and the 8th grade male and female unsung athletes of the year.
Each athlete will receive a South Meadow School Athletic Certificate. Water and cookies will be at the tables that hold 8 people each.
Please come if you can and you will see a fantastic awards ceremony that not many other schools do. This is the final time that our athletic students will be together this year, so I am hoping for a lot of fun.
Sincerely yours,
Tod Silegy
SMS Athletic Director

The tradition is more than 16 years old and originally started with an idea by a group of students who wanted to make their last art class in their final year especially memorable. Since then, graduating seniors have kept up the ritual.
Also part of the tradition is for students to take a photo with the ceramics teachers, some of which you can see below.

As German teacher Cindi Hodgdon explained, students chose which music to perform, watched the original English version, then translated the dialogue and song lyrics into German themselves. They then learned the texts, blocked the play, procured the props, choreographed the dances, and rehearsed the numbers — initially, on their own with a substitute because Frau Hodgdon was out with COVID.
"The performance itself was a genuine ensemble production," Frau Hodgdon said. "We had one German 3 student, one previous (last year) German 4 student, and the booth was managed by two German 3 students. Everyone else, 14 students, were AP-level students."
"Grease was the culmination of five semesters of German together," Frau Hodgdon added. "I am always so proud of how the students come together to form a tight-knit group that is thrilled with their achievements, and feels like a family. They really do go together like 'rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong.' This year was no exception, and I am so amazed by them!"

This event followed the Spring Fest hosted by the National Honor Society and took place after school. 17 teams participated, and volleyball coach Amanda Hinton refereed the games.
Students and staff formed themed teams of six players each. The outdoor volleyball court had been rototilled and then flooded by the Peterborough Fire Department so as to create the perfect Mud Volleyball court. Kona Ice, water coolers, sunshine, and a great crowd created the perfect atmosphere for a truly great, muddy time.
The "Mud Buds" placed first and "BDE" placed second in the single elimination tournament style event. The "Mud Buds" — Captain: Malachi Page, Jake Daniels, Fletcher Maggs, Zach Burgess, Dan McCall, and Wyatt Beaulieu. Team "BDE" (Bryson Defeats Everyone) — Captain: Austin Klonel, Garret Rousseau, Bennett Saxe, Ethan Kinney, Addison Dodge, and Caleb Norford.
Congratulations to both teams on this success, and thank you to everyone who helped organize and participated in this fun event!

There were activity options on the calmer side, such as a quiet space for reading a drawing, chess, board games, and making cards for hospitalized children. Students who preferred being physically active could participate in corn hole, jam frisbee, kickball, "Just Dance" rhythm games, four square games in the bus lane, and flag football on the JV field.
For students more interested in mental skills games, there was trivia in the gazebo, a Dungeons & Dragons competition, "Minute to Win It"-style games, German games, and custom puzzle creations. Last but not least, there were opportunities for artwork, from elaborate face paintings to arts and crafts on the sidewalk.
The ConVal Spring Festival is organized annually around the release of the ConVal Yearbook which took place in the ConVal cafeteria where students picked up their copies and signed each other's yearbooks.

The students, under the joint direction of Brian Moore and Jim Wickham, prepared a program with a rich palette of musical selections. The program included sung pieces as diverse as "Try To Remember" from the 1960 Musical The Fantasticks to a contemporary hit by Sam Farrar and Sara Bareilles, "Gonna Get Over You." Music performed by the various band ensembles spanned the range from Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" to renditions of The Eagles' 1977 hit "Hotel California" and the soundtrack to the movie The Avengers.

Their work contributes to a large, ongoing research project surveying the population of redback salamanders.
John Benjamin, a naturalist from the Harris Center, came to teach students in Anna Muncy, Valerie Moran, and Randy Stetzer's biology classes about ecology topics and the natural world we have right outside in ConVal's backyard. Students explored the woods while conducting a Bioblitz and line transect surveys. Additionally, they learned to use technology to ID the species around them. Their collected data contributed to a collaborative research project (SPARCnet) that utilizes 6 cover board research plots set up by ConVal students several years ago that biology classes have been able to continue to learn from.

Sister Juanita Durgin, their instructor, welcomed them to the profession with stories from her own career as a nurse and instructor. She challenged the students to give thought to what type of people they wanted to be and to name what values were important to them.
Durgin reminded them to keep that value at the center of who they were because it affects all aspects of your life, from what jobs you take to the people you hang out with. "Your jobs as nurses are not just to heal," Durgin said, "but also to accompany people in their pain and fear."
Students also shared their own insights about the LNA certification and the impact it had on them. Howard liked learning about the residents and their pasts, and Kamieniecki liked how the residents and the students made each other laugh. Rupp shared that she feels committed to the career and is excited to be close to achieving her goals. She dedicated her work in the field to her cousin, who she hopes to help care for. Pelkey shared that she is joining other family members in the profession and dedicated experience to her grandmother.
All four students will be taking their state certification exam on Wednesday.

By now many of you have heard about the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. We are writing to you this evening to let you know that we recognize that our students, staff, and parents may be apprehensive about coming to school following this event.
Please know we will be sure to have a larger adult presence at pickup and dropoff. Additionally, we have spoken to the local police departments, and students and parents may also notice that local police officers are more present than they usually are.
It is important to note that we have had no indication or threat of violence toward our students, staff, or schools. Safety of our students and staff is always our number one priority, and we will continue to work together to provide a safe and secure environment for our students and staff.
Should you feel that your student needs additional support, please contact your student's principal to discuss ways that we can best provide assistance. The following resource may also be helpful: Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers.
Thank you for your continued support, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
Best,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders
Superintendent of Schools

The event provides opportunities for every student — from public, private, and homeschooled groups — to showcase their talents within the context of professional local artists who perform and share their craft.
This year's theme was "Bugs, Bugs, Bugs" and featured bug illustrations created by ConVal High School students. Bug-themed face paintings and hands-on art opportunities were busy all day in different venues: Depot Square, Putnam Park, the Monadnock Center, the Unitarian Church, the Peterborough Town Library, the Town House, on Grove Street, and various other locations.
At noon, all eyes turned to the Giant Puppet Parade as it proceeded from Peterborough Elementary School to Putnam Park. The parade featured ConVal elementary school children who had created outfits, paper mache art, and banners that celebrated the theme of "Bugs, Bugs, Bugs."
Since 1993, the Children and the Arts Festival has been held in Peterborough. It typically attracts 5,000 visitors to the town.

The event was co-founded by students Abbey Shumway and Callie Boisvert and raises money for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.
All run/walk participants who donated $20 or more received bright green T-shirts and there was a great raffle thanks to donations from local businesses. $2,000 of the $5,000 fundraising goal was achieved through online donations before the run/walk even started. All funds benefit the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention which is now an official sponsor of the event.
"I am so proud of the dedicated hard work Abbey and Callie accomplish each year to raise awareness for this important cause," said Principal Heather McKillop who participated in the walk. "The event was a wonderful opportunity to show support for 'breaking the silence' and de-stigmatizing mental health issues," added Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ann Forrest who completed the run, representing the SAU.
Anyone interested in helping Abbey and Callie reach their $5,000 goal can contribute to their Break The Silence cause by using this link for online donations.

He also excelled in sports as the co-captain of the ConVal Varsity soccer team.
As a senior, Selmer signed up for military service in the New Hampshire Army National Guard. While serving, he pursued a college education, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Accounting and Finance from the University of New Hampshire in 2019.
Selmer now works as a Financial Services Consultant in the Risk Advisory division of Ernst & Young (EY) in Boston. Ernst & Young is an international company with headquarters in London that oversees one of the largest professional services networks in the world. Along with Deloitte, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, EY is considered one of the Big Four accounting firms.
Selmer also continues to serve in the National Guard as a Sergeant First Class (E-7).
Here is David’s reflection:
"Reflecting back, ConVal provided me with perspectives and skills that I still carry forward. Whether it was math concepts taught by every math teacher (I think I had almost all of them), English and humanities discussions taught by Mr. Lambert and Mr. Clark, to the exploration of musical expression with Mr. Wickham, Ms. Morin, and Mr. Aines were all greatly impactful and gave me the courage and base knowledge that I needed to be successful after high school."
"High school is and was an amazing opportunity to discover yourself and step out of your comfort zone. I wish more students would appreciate the opportunities they are afforded as it is a great time to make mistakes and learn who you are. I was very focused on music as I thought my professional career would lead me to be a musician who graduated with a music degree. Consciously, that decision to live a musician's lifestyle was not appealing to me and I needed some other profession to support my professional and financial goals."
"The main inflection point that led me to where I am now was my decision as a ConVal senior to enlist in the New Hampshire Army National Guard nine years ago. This helped refine my college decision — UNH tuition is waived for Guard soldiers — and structure my future to allow me to focus on key decisions such as classes and my professional career rather than stressing about college loans and expenses."
"While taking gap years, summer classes, and intense 20 credit semesters, I was able to graduate with over 150 academic credits (military leadership classes helped) which was important to allow me to qualify for the CPA (certified public accountant) certification after graduating with both an accounting and finance degree. College led me to a career in financial services consulting with major accounting firm Ernst & Young (EY) which has provided numerous opportunities to grow my future in countless ways."
"My military service has continued, where I recently responded to the State's COVID-19 mission for 16 months. I was asked to manage an unemployment call center, personal protective equipment (PPE) warehouse, and co-lead the non-vaccine supply effort for all of the vaccine sites across NH. Without my experience in high school leading the band percussion section and varsity soccer team, I would not have felt confident in my leadership capabilities to be discovered and to develop in these important roles years later."

The idea behind this newsletter is to keep 5th grade parents informed of what students are learning, events coming up, and reminders of important assignments and other miscellaneous happenings. The newsletter is created, designed, and written completely by the students. Editing is also done by the students with the help of Mrs. Hayes and our fantastic Technology Integrator, Theresa Berna.
Mrs. Berna has worked with students over the last few weeks to teach them the skills needed to put together this amazing newsletter. Students have worked very hard and we are so impressed with their creativity, cooperation, and dedication!

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. Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 7-9PM.
What is a community forum?
A community forum is a meeting where people 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. After the three selected topics are over we have allowed time for the 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 will mean that the community forum will be recorded as a video on YouTube 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 be on YouTube servers forever.
To access this YouTube feed, click on this link ConVal Events. Or type in this link https://www.youtube.com/c/ConValEvents, then select the “2022 May 12 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?
We will be posting, approx. one week in advance of the forum, an outline of each presentation so you will have time to formulate your questions and send them in advance of the forum, if you desire. We will also include in that communication the email address to use.
What topics are being presented?
There will be three presentations, as follows:
Presented by Administration
Presented by Administration
Presented by School Board members

"I was fortunate enough to have an incredibly positive high school experience at ConVal. I played field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, and was involved in clubs like Student Athletic Leadership Team, while also serving on Prom Committee and helping out, on an as-needed basis, with student council."
"Serving in leadership roles throughout my time at ConVal instilled the confidence I needed to serve as a leader in all aspects of my life. I will always be grateful for all of the mentors I had along the way, whether that was upperclassmen, coaches, faculty, or staff. My involvement in athletics and extracurriculars ultimately shaped the direction of my career. I proudly chose Recreation Management and Policy as my path of study, where I realized that I could pursue a career in what I loved the most."
"From an academic standpoint, I feel that I was more prepared than most of my peers when I went to college. I obtained several academic skills at ConVal that not only transferred into my life as a college student, but into my life as a regular citizen in society. ConVal always harped on the importance of note-taking, meeting deadlines, studying, group projects, etc. Spoiler alert – you will need those skills beyond high school. Whether you decide to enter the workforce, enlist in the military, go to college, pick up a trade, volunteer, etc., you will always need to be able to work with others, you will always have a schedule, you will always need to remember details, etc. The skills that ConVal had taught me through academic schooling have been utilized in my personal and professional life."
"During my 4 years at ConVal, thanks to Mr. Bowman, I was lucky enough to tag along with the student council on their annual trip to New York City to volunteer with the Youth Service Opportunities Project, where we engaged in service experiences that provided us with hands-on volunteer work throughout the city. I believe these trips were the moments that defined my passion for volunteering."
Since my time at ConVal, I have volunteered in a few capacities. I volunteered with UNH Athletics where I gained a well-rounded understanding for the Division 1 sports world. I also volunteered with Northeast Passage, a non-profit Recreational Therapy and Adaptive Sports program. I coached youth sled hockey for participants with physical disabilities. My love for sports only grew deeper through this experience and I consider it a privilege to have contributed to these kids' lives at any capacity."
"After my graduation from UNH, I made a big move, 1200 miles from home where I landed in Nashville, TN. I accepted a job as a Program Coordinator at Vanderbilt University where I support students who are entering into the medical fields. Working in higher education has been such a rewarding experience, and I have learned so much from my colleagues and students who come from all different backgrounds and interests."
"I am still heavily involved in volunteering, working at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee where I help organize and sort food for underserved populations in middle Tennessee. I am also a volunteer coach for a girl’s youth hockey team with the Nashville Jr. Predators for the 2022-2023 season where I look forward to my involvement in the Nashville hockey community."
"My time at ConVal laid the groundwork for what was to come in my next chapters. The faculty and staff who choose to work at ConVal are one of a kind, and we are so lucky to know them. I feel truly grateful for the time I spent in the district and the education I received."
"If you are a current student, my word of assurance would be that you are almost always more prepared for things than you think you are. My word of advice would be to learn from every person and opportunity that you are presented with, to enter every situation with an open mind, to listen more than you speak, and to never judge people by their cover. Like Mr. Putnam always says every morning: 'Win the day!'"

This forum will take place both at the Lucy Hurlin Theater at ConVal High School and via live stream on Thursday, May 12, 2022, 7-9 PM.
Learning from our previous two forums, we felt that the live stream community also needed to be heard and participate in the forum. Live stream participants will be able to submit questions to the forum presenters, school board and administration during the forum via email.
As we provided in the first two forums the live feed will be on YouTube so the forum can be viewed interactively or, if needed, at your convenience any time after the forum is over.
We will also be posting, in advance of the forum, an outline of each presentation so you will have time to formulate your questions and send them in advance of the forum.
We are putting together all the necessary logistics to make this community forum a success for all. We will send out a more comprehensive communication prior to the forum that will contain all of the needed details.
Schedule for communications:
Initial communications – 4/27 – This one
Main communication including all details about the forum - 4/29
Forum Agenda – 5/5
Preview and early questions - 5/5
Please mark your calendars for this forum. Thursday, May 12, 2022, 7-9 PM.
We thank you in advance for your participation.
Your ConVal School Board and Administration

Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.
In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the dialectical theatre works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
Participating students include: Doc Cassidy, Hadi Lancaric, Dan Sleeper, Haley Seraine, Jessica Hench, Liasiah Torres, Beau Olesky, Nick DiNino, Alissa Cutting, AJ Mackensen, Nicole Davison, Isabelle Stehly, Esther Janis, Rowan Davidson, Annelise Strong, Avery Swasey, Max DePoyster, Alexander Humphrey, Hannah Leahigh, Kalyn Ross, Morgan Salisbury, Makila Sesito, Ace Smith, Kaitlyn Stone, Luca Stowell, Alex Williams, Jazzy Woodhouse, Caroline Stultz, Rex Schaub, Jennifer Hopkins, Elijah Lacroix, Josh Ellis, Fransisco James, Frank LeBlanc, Rhiannon Moore, and Kettu Reynolds.

For two thirds of them, this was their first visit to a post-secondary institution because in-person visits were not permitted during the COVID restrictions of the last two years.
The tour included a stop at the John Lyons Center, a modern, 19,000-square-foot academic building. It includes state-of-the-art classrooms, seminar rooms, study lounges, a learning commons, group study areas, faculty offices, and a café.
After the tour, students shared what they had learned about the college admissions process. For many, the visit reinforced the School Counseling Department's recommendation to start the process early. "The earlier you start, the better," noted one student. "Start the FAFSA [financial aid process] right away on October 1," agreed another.
Students also commented on what they observed about college life: "There's a lot of flexibility in college. It's easy to meet new people."
For many, the trip to New England College served as an inspiration to organize similar tours for themselves, planning to visit both in-state colleges and out-of-state universities in the months to come.

To this purpose, students in Cindi Hodgdon's German III class learned how birthday parties are being celebrated in German-speaking countries and what party games are typically organized.
One of the traditional German games is "Schlag the Topf" ("Hit the pot") which dates back to the Middle Ages. One player is blindfolded and given a wooden spoon with which they have find — and hit — an upside down pot on the floor. The remaining party guests guide the player with calls like "heiß" (hot) and "kalt" (cold) or "kälter" (colder), depending how close or far the player is to finding the target. Once the pot is hit, the player gets the prize hidden beneath it.
The Venn diagram below shows where American and German birthday celebrations differ and where they overlap.
What a fun way to learn another language!

Read More: New Elementary School Websites [site_name] => Dublin Consolidated School [school_color] => #52759f [qms_source] => dcs ) [694] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 15747 [post_author] => 9 [post_date] => 2022-04-17 07:38:00 [post_date_gmt] => 2022-04-17 11:38:00 [post_content] =>"Haelli restriction," "enzyme dilution," "Annaeling," "Taq polymerase master mix," "DNA extraction buffer," "TAS2R38 gene variations" — if none of these terms come up in your daily conversations, you are certainly not alone. But to the students in Valerie Moran's Biology Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) last week, these were the concepts and building blocks for an experimental study on genetic predispositions to their individual sensitivities to bitter tastes associated with phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) or glucosinolates.
At the beginning of this day-long, in-school field trip, students were divided into two groups — tasters and non-tasters — depending on whether they found a medical PTC test strip as tasting bitter or neutral. Typically, the ratio of tasters to non-tasters varies between populations but every test group normally has some tasters and some non-tasters. On average, 75% of people can taste PTC while 25% cannot. The students in Moran's class were evenly divided between tasters and non-tasters (10:10).
Following this initial assessment of the test groups composition, the scientific research began. Classical Mendelian inheritance dictates who can taste and not taste PTC; however, other factors contribute to the strength of this trait. The combination of inherited alleles along with the interactions between other genes that control facets of taste affect the overall reaction to PTC.
The ability to taste PTC is now linked to the presence of the protein taste receptor 2 member 38 that is encoded by the TAS2R38 gene on chromosome 7. This gene has 2 alleles: the dominant allele (T) confers the ability to taste PTC, while the recessive allele (t) confers the non-taster phenotype.
Sequence analysis of the TAS2R38 gene revealed that PTC taster and non-taster alleles can differ due to SNP’s at 3 distinct locations along the 1143 base pair long coding region of the gene. Each SNP leads to a change in the structure of the receptor protein which affects how well the receptor protein can bind to PTC, which affects the person’s ability to taste PTC.
Students evaluated the presence of one of these SNPs in their own DNA sequence in order to determine their genotype. Students then extracted their own DNA, amplified a segment of the PTC-tasting gene through PCR, used restriction enzymes to identify a possible base pair change in the target sequence, and visualize their genotype on a gel. This allowed students to see how well genotype predicts phenotype.
In doing the extended lab, students learned to explore three molecular biology techniques: DNA extraction, PCR (amplification of their DNA), and gel electrophoresis. The lab also provided students with the opportunity to explore the connection between their genes and their expression, something most people never get a chance to experience.
The type of information that students gathered during the ELO could one day be used to help prevent and treat disease, as well as design new drugs tailored to an individual's genetic profiles.

To do this, they used pH and conductivity sensors plugged into a Vernier digital interface.
The students found that chemical compounds, such as salts, that form electrolytes when dissolved in water had higher conductivity and more acidic pH's. Compounds such as sugar that do not make electrolytes had lower conductivity and were less acidic. They were surprised to find that distilled water had a slightly acidic pH of 6 while hydrochloric acid was extremely conductive.

In this assignment, the students exercise total choice in their work, selecting every aspect of their work through knowledge they have learned and shared in class.
In addition to learning music theory, instrumentation and techniques of composition, students have studied functions of film scoring through various types of media to determine how to create music independently that aligns and enhances the actions, thoughts and emotions of characters, plot and their development.
"I am very proud of each of them for expressing themselves through music in such wonderful and brilliant ways," said Moore of his class.

In a simplified variation of these games, students use a hand-drawn pathway and dice to randomize choices from an envelope which get them to conjugate present tense verbs. Students pick a verb from the pile, roll a die and then conjugate the verb based on the number of the roll.
Next week, students will take their knowledge of games and verb conjugation and will be creating their own games to help their classmates practice verb conjugation.

St. Lawrence University offers an exchange program that is based in Vienna, the capital city of Austria whose history dates back to about the first century AD. Vienna is renowned for its cultural offerings, and the St. Lawrence exchange program’s courses in psychology, history, art, and music take advantage of this unique environment.
Here is Keenan's reflection:
"This semester I have been studying abroad in Vienna, Austria, through an exchange program at St. Lawrence. When I was a student at ConVal, I took two semesters of German with Frau Concannon. During this time, I was able to gain an understanding for the language but also the areas that speak German as a mother tongue. It was through this course that I gained an appreciation for some of the unique linguistic and cultural differences in Germany and Austria. This experience gave me an idea of many of the possibilities that studying abroad in a German speaking country could offer. When I arrived in Vienna, I was able to place into a slightly higher German course, having taken none in college, due to my courses at ConVal."
"I have skied my whole life, and during my time at ConVal I was a member of the alpine ski team. My love of skiing that I developed at Crotched and racing at ConVal is another large reason that I am studying abroad in Austria. This deep-seated love of skiing was also a big reason that I chose to study abroad in Austria. Ski racing at ConVal really improved my skiing abilities, and combined with my lifetime of skiing I was set on skiing when I went abroad."
"Since I have arrived in Austria I have travelled many times to ski in the Austrian Alps. A wonderful train system takes me across the country — Vienna is farther from the alps than you think — to the towering peaks of the Alps. Having skied many times here this winter, I must say that I am extremely grateful that I ski raced at ConVal. I will admit my bias, my amazing mother is the coach of the team, but the skills that I learned racing have given me the ability to ski the craziest of lines on the most beautiful mountains in the world."
"At ConVal I was also able to work with End 68 hours of Hunger. This was a program that I learned about through my time in the National Honor Society (NHS) and provides an amazing service to our community. I was lucky to be able to work with them stocking food after school. The mission of End 68 is to provide food to those students outside of school hours who may not have consistent access to meals, and I have learned that to bridge this recurring time of food insecurity is extremely important. I was so inspired by the wonderful people that put their time and effort into this group and am very happy to have gotten to know and work with them all."
"When I got to Vienna, I made the decision to run a marathon. At ConVal, I ran for enjoyment outside of my sports, and always loved taking long runs down beautiful Francestown roads or up the back of Crotched Mountain. Having run a few half marathons, I decided that now was as good a time as ever to run a full marathon. I found out that the Vienna Marathon is on April 24, which is towards the end of my time abroad. I know that many people run marathons to raise money for charity, and when I committed to the Vienna marathon, my mind immediately went to End 68."
"My time at ConVal prepared me for the amazing experience that I am currently living. The German courses prepared me both linguistically, but also culturally, to fully experience and appreciate this experience. To be able to understand many cultural experiences and also communicate with people in German is something that German at ConVal allowed me to have immediately upon my arrival in Austria. The skiing, both on the ski team and with my wonderful friends at ConVal, gave me the idea to ski abroad and the abilities to take advantage of the Alps. My time working with End 68 hours of hunger inspired me to use my marathon to raise money for an amazing cause."
"I would also like to say that I would encourage every student who continues their studies after high school to go abroad. This experience is truly once in a lifetime. No matter where you go, the ability to learn about different cultures and see the world is truly amazing. I would also encourage everyone to work with many of the amazing groups, including End 68 Hours of Hunger, that work with ConVal students.

ConVal's team is open to riders grades 7-12. Practices are held out of the Kilkenny Horse Center in Greenfield. The team is coached by Kathy Kelly and Dawn Catalanotti.
Saturday's competition had to end early due to weather conditions, but many of our team's riders were able to compete and we had multiple ConVal riders placing. The riders who did not get to compete will be able to make up the missed classes in the next show.
ConVal's team has 12 riders of varying grades and riding experience. The team captain is Anthea Curtis, a senior at CVHS. Other riders are: Emily Casey-Hughes, Abigail Hackett, Ryanne Hennessy, Delaney Ingalls, Lucy Jackson, Mariah Kiblin, Aubree Lamothe, Ellie Smith, Norah Smith, Rebekah Southwick, and Addison Traffie.

Youth & Government is a co-curricular opportunity that is offered by the high school; Chris Heider is the club's advisor.
Sophomore Gabby Ramsden was elected Chief Justice of the NH Supreme Court. Other ConVal students that took on leadership positions were Wyatt Beaulieu, Eva McCullough, Hayden Kaltsas, and Laramie Wilson. It was a great session with many of the students' bills making it to the full House and Senate for debate.
Youth & Government is a national program of the YMCA that involves thousands of teens nationwide in state-organized, model-government programs. Teens from across every state meet in their local Youth in Government groups throughout the year to discuss and debate issues that affect citizens of their state and to propose legislation. The program culminates with teens serving as delegates at their state conference, debating bills on the floor of the legislature.
The state conference takes place in April and is held at the state capitol of Concord. Here, students have an opportunity to experience state government by electing their own youth officials. Elected officials include the governor, the House Speaker, senate president and chief justice of the supreme court. Other delegates participate as members of the House and Senate, Executive Council, Supreme Court, Lobbyists or Press Corp.
Students are responsible for writing their own legislation prior to arriving in Concord. This legislation is compiled into a billbook from which the work of the House and Senate committees is derived.

The newsletter is created, designed, and written completely by the students. Editing is also done by the students with the help of Mrs. Hayes and our fantastic Technology Integrator, Theresa Berna.
Mrs. Berna has worked with students over the last few weeks to teach them the skills needed to put together this amazing newsletter. Students have worked very hard and we are so impressed with their creativity, cooperation, and dedication!

Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. One of the goals of the unit is to explore practical applications of philosophical ideas.
To that end, the class previously read an essay based on Matthew Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft and discussed the value of the DIY mindset.
As a hands-on project, students were able to put their beliefs into action by repairing flat bicycle tires. After completing the task, the class discussed how they felt about completing the repair themselves, if they felt a closer relationship with the technology, and whether they would elect to pay for a bike shop to complete the service in the future or continue to do the repair on their own.

A resident of Peterborough, Thibault taught in the ConVal High School mathematics department from 2005-2010. His children are all ConVal graduates.
After a dozen years working in the Milford school district, he considers his return to Peterborough a welcome homecoming. “It’s nice to be back home,” Thibault stated. “It is a good time for me to be at ConVal.” Much of ConVal High School felt immediately familiar to Thibault who also noticed some of the school improvements that had taken place in his years of absence, from the addition to the gymnasium wing to the more recent renovations in the science areas.
Thibault holds an Assistant Principal certification and is working on an educational leadership program to obtain a New Hampshire Administration/Principal certification. “The opening of this position was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with some of the brilliant, compassionate colleagues who molded me into the educator that I am today,” he said, “I am looking forward to the many positive things that are on the horizon.”

The completed objects are dried and fired in an electric kiln and finally decorated where different ceramic glazes and painting techniques are employed.
The class was encouraged to experiment and explore forms other than the traditional cylindrical vessels. As Holland Calcutt, a freshman student in the class, explained it, “The ceramics class began a collaborative challenge putting a twist on a teapot form inspired by nature.”
Ceramics is one of the most longest-standing art forms to have emerged in human history. The oldest known ceramic figurine, the so-called "Venus of Dolní Věstonice," traces back to the Czech Republic in 29,000–25,000 BCE, during the Upper Paleolithic period. A 2012 study published in the journal Science confirmed that the earliest known ceramic pots, found in Xianrendong Cave in China’s Jiangxi Province, were made during the height of the Ice Age.
This means that the creation of ceramic objects predates the emergence of agriculture in the Neolithic period by some 10,000 years, and the medium continues to be explored by master potters worldwide today.

Since graduating from ConVal, Alisha has obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Bioengineering at Stanford University and is still at Stanford pursuing a medical degree. Her goal is to use scientific innovation to help patients achieve the best care possible.
Here is Alisha's reflection:
"During the summer of my junior year at ConVal, I did an internship at Monadnock Community Hospital with the help of Mrs. O’Neil. This was my first exposure to the world of medicine, and I absolutely loved it. I was able to rotate through the different departments around the hospital, including same-day surgery, radiology, and pediatrics."
"While this experience sparked my journey into medicine, my career path was solidified during my senior year at ConVal when I faced homelessness. In September of 2014, I became homeless due to a domestic violence incident at home, which left me estranged from both of my parents. Luckily, the Andersons have given me a place to stay and call home. I am grateful for their continuous kindness, generosity, and love."
"As a result of my homelessness, I was removed from my parents’ health insurance, and I was unable to seek care when I fell ill in December of that year. I had to learn how to navigate the medical system and apply for health insurance at the age of 17. Luckily, I found myself in a supportive and caring community at ConVal. My guidance counselor, Ms. Knarr, helped me to apply to state Medicaid in between my classes. This experience made me realize how challenging it may be for patients who come from a similar background as me to access the health care they deserve. The health care challenges I faced inspired me to pursue a career in medicine so I could help my patients overcome the challenges they face in their own care."
"I will forever be grateful for the kindness I experienced from Ms. Knarr, the Andersons, and the entire ConVal community when I was going through this difficult time. The support and flexibility from my teachers made a big difference in my life. At the time, I was working two part-time jobs to support myself, while juggling a full-time schedule of AP classes and leading multiple after-school groups, including ConVal Interact, the Math Team, and Spanish Club."
"Due to my limited time outside of school, I would sit in the guidance office with Ms. Knarr and work on my college applications. Without the support of Ms. Knarr, my teachers, the Andersons, and my friends, I may not have had the opportunity to attend Stanford. While at Stanford, I decided to pursue a degree in bioengineering due to an experience I had during my senior year in AP Biology. During our final weeks, we had to watch a TED talk and present the talk to the class. After watching a few, I stumbled upon a talk about a new technique for hip replacement surgery using the patient’s own stem cells. It was eye-opening and inspiring to see innovation changing the way we practice medicine."
"Bioengineering was a perfect fit for me as it allowed me to apply my love for science to medical applications. During my senior year at Stanford, I developed a medical device, called OpticLine, with a few of my classmates as a part of my senior capstone project. OpticLine utilizes optical interrogation methods to detect infection earlier in peritoneal dialysis patients. Peritoneal dialysis patients are at a higher risk of getting an infection since they do dialysis on their own at home. A small mistake like not properly washing your hands can result in touch contamination and infection."
"I would have never aspired to be a physician-scientist if it weren't for the patients I have had the opportunity to interact with along the way. The work I have done with OpticLine has inspired me to work on solving gaps in current medical practice. In April of 2019, my team and I won KidneyX’s Redesign Dialysis Phase 1 prize competition, which is a national innovator accelerator competition for dialysis products. We were invited to speak about our device at the KidneyX Summit in Washington, D.C. At the KidneyX Summit, I was able to talk to patients one-on-one about our device, which was an invaluable experience. Not only were we able to get feedback, but we also were reminded by patients themselves of the importance of our work. My drive towards innovation stems from interactions I have had with these patients; their experiences, concerns, and challenges continue to inspire the work I do. I will continue to use my scientific knowledge and creative thinking skills to solve real-world medical challenges."
"If anyone is interested in learning more about applying to college, applying to medical school, conducting basic science research, or are just simply wanting to chat about life, please feel free to contact me at abirk96@stanford.edu. With the amount of support and guidance I have received along my journey, I am more than happy to help anyone in any way I can."

Born in Heidelberg, Germany, Duvekot is a writer, vocalist, and guitarist. She holds three top songwriting awards, including the Kerrville New Folk Competition’s Best New Folk Award, Boston Music Award for Outstanding Folk Act, and Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
The students worked in groups to create lyrics which required them to properly use similes and metaphors, German figurative language and personification. The final song title was "Irmadillos Traum" ("Irmadillo's Dream").

The students in AP German were fascinated how, with guidance, they could be so creative in a foreign language. Junior Audrey Lang noted: "It was so fun and our song was wonderful. I hope to hear it on Spotify! It was cool that lyrics I wrote ended up in a class song!"
Senior Sarah Holdredge admired Duvekot's songwriting skills: "She is so talented! It was really cool to see how she could turn our words into a song." Junior Donny Sweeney agreed: "Writing songs with other people is an interesting exercise! There were no negatives - only positives!"
Senior Elli Ward summed up the class activity this way: "Simply put, her music and writing a song with our class makes me happier."
The classroom visit by Antje Duvekot was sponsored by the Goethe Institut of Boston which serves as the German Culture Center for New England. Its mission is to engage schools in the fields of cultural education related to German-speaking countries.

The $10,000 grant is part of Stanley Black & Decker's Empower Makers Global Impact Challenge and will benefit ATC's Construction Trades Program. The grant supports vocational skills training and reskilling programs in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Funding will be used to expand the Construction Trades Program to include career pathways in the electrical and plumbing fields for the 2022-23 school year.
"This support for the Construction Trades program will have a tangible impact on closing the workforce gap, and we’re grateful to Stanley Black and Decker for their contribution,” Conval Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “Opening career pathways is core to the ATC’s mission and I’m glad that it will benefit from this chance to work toward that goal through this funding.”
According to Stanley Black and Decker, there are 430,000 open construction jobs in the U.S. and 10 million unfilled manufacturing jobs worldwide. This substantial workforce shortage is due to the decline in skilled trade workers. The company estimates that by 2028 there will be three million job openings in skilled trades in the U.S.
"We are so grateful for this funding," Mascenic Superintendent Chris Martin said. "These industries need skilled employees and we will be providing students with the experience and instruction needed to be successful and find jobs with the help of this grant."
Through ATC's Construction Trades Program, students explore several different career paths, while learning foundational skills necessary for those trades. The program currently offers carpentry, masonry and HVAC pathways.
"There will be an even greater demand for skilled trade workers in the next decade, and we are pleased to be doing our part to rebuild the trade workforce," Jaffrey-Rindge Superintendent Reuben Duncan said.
“Stanley Black & Decker is immensely proud to support the ATC as they work to skill and reskill the next generation of trade professionals,” said Stanley Black & Decker Vice President of Social Impact Diane Cantello. “Our purpose is to support ‘Those Who Make the World,’ and being able to fund educational programs and non-profits that are revitalizing trade careers directly connects to our core mission. Thanks to this year’s Makers Grant Recipients, together we will be one step closer to closing the trade skills gap.”

One of the challenges instructor Dan Guillou sets for the students is to create an unbreakable bond between two aluminum cans. More advanced students are also working with the CNC plasma cutter. Senior Steven Van Etten recently created the structure that houses the fire extinguisher on the center’s mobile welding truck.
Students will soon be preparing to participate in a state-wide competition where they can measure their skills against their peers in the state.

In this project, students were asked to choose a personally meaningful memento from home — an object with a story behind it. Six pictures of the memento were taken, in different locations and setups, and uploaded to the students' Google Classroom folders.
During the classroom critique, students observed such details about the photos as the creative use of depth of field, imaginative lighting, artistic use of the f-stop, or the use of a "Dutch angle."
The final chosen photo will be uploaded to the student's blog, accompanied by a short story about the importance of this object and the memory it holds.

"Read Across America" is an initiative by the National Education Association (NEA) to encourage reading. It originated as a single day event in 1998 on the birthday of popular children's author Dr. Seuss and has since expanded into a year-long program with special celebrations in March as National Reading Month.

As the automotive teacher Russell Wilson of Mascenic High School shared, “The Region 14 ATC program is providing students with career-driven curriculum to meet the needs of the automotive industries' ever-changing demands."
"In addition to lessons learned about modern automotive technology, we are pleased to announce that an electric vehicle and some classics have been added to the shop. The electric vehicle is designed to be assembled through several easy-to-grasp modules and provide students with the principles necessary to enter into our new clean energy future."
Students develop their skills by also working on older donated vehicles. "Our classics include a 1941 Dodge Power Wagon military truck and a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air," Wilson continued. "These vehicles give students a glimpse into the history of the automotive industry. The 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air seen in the photographs is getting an engine swap with a period-correct stock replacement. Students are making amazing progress and are learning what it takes to do the job the correct way.”

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.

The Chamber Choir, Mixed A Cappella, Contemporary Band, Jazz Band, Select Choir, Concert Choir, and Concert Band all performed a wide-ranging repertoire of traditional, modern, and contemporary music.
Of particular note was the Concert Choir's performance of "Measure Me, Sky!" by Jonathan Reid, a lyrical piece based on the poem by Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Leonora Speyer. Another highlight was the ConVal Band 's rendition of "(Risk) Everything For A Dream," a composition by Richard Saucedo to celebrate United Sound, an organization whose mission it is to remove barriers and foster social change through music by putting instruments into the hands of special needs students (see photos in the slideshow above).
"Our students are truly exceptional!" said Principal McKillop after the concert.

After working closely with the teachers in these courses, he started looking into the unmanned aircraft industry and what opportunities were open to him.
Since graduating from ConVal, Timmons has attended the University of North Dakota, known for its world-renowned aviation program. He is pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautics, Dual Majoring in Commercial Aviation and High Altitude Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
Timmons is employed as a Certified Flight Instructor at UND Flight Operations and is currently in training to become an Instrument Instructor and Multi-Engine Instructor.
Here is Palmer's reflection:
"The second half of my time at ConVal was spent trying to complete as many technical/STEM classes as possible. I finished the entire engineering curriculum, including an independent study involving modeling aircraft using CAD and CNC machines. I got involved in the programming classes and dabbled in robotics."
"The various projects I completed in these classes helped me explore unmanned aircraft technologies after I had already been interested in flying airplanes for many years. These interests led me to go to the University of North Dakota where I could pursue a degree with a major in each of these areas."
"In my first year, I was able to earn my Private Pilot Certificate, allowing me to fly on my own whenever and just about wherever I want. Continuing on, and studying hard to ensure I did not fail any check rides, I finished my junior year by earning my Commercial Pilot Certificate with multi-engine and instrument ratings."
"At the same time, I worked with highly advanced drone aircraft, such as the Insitu Scan Eagle and the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator which was a relatively easy skill set to adapt to after receiving excellent training in programming and coding at ConVal."
"By far my favorite experience has been flying aerobatics. After earning my tailwheel rating and getting involved in various events, I was able to get a spot practicing with the Aerobatics Team. After lots of training, I was able to compete in my first aerobatics competition with a flight that earned the second-highest score in my category. The entire competition was a truly unparalleled experience."
"During my senior year, I reached my most challenging and significant achievement to date and became a Certified Flight Instructor. The following semester, I was selected for a class 50 out of over 300 applicants to be hired on by UND Flight Ops as a Flight Instructor, which has been my job ever since."
"The concept of becoming a pilot was something that never seemed like a realistic, attainable goal until I was actually getting into flight training. I imagine there are plenty of high school students in the same position as I was. I encourage them to talk to me if they are interested in becoming a professional pilot, or look into local flight schools and book a discovery flight."

My name is Tod Silegy and I am starting my 22nd year at South Meadow School as Physical Education Teacher, Athletic Director, and Boys Soccer Coach and Girls Softball Coach.
To play a sport at the high school level or middle school level in the ConVal district, ALL athletes must take the Initial Impact Concussion Test. This test is not a competition and there is no score, but the test does create a baseline for each athlete’s brain when it is healthy.
Hopefully this will not happen, but if your child does receive a concussion that is verified by your primary care physician while playing a sport for SMS, your child would have to sit out practices and games until your primary care physician clears your child to resume participating. Once the primary care physician clears your child to resume play, your child would have to take the Post-Concussion Impact test. The Post-Concussion Impact Test would then be compared to your child’s Initial Impact Test Baseline, and if it compares well, your child would be allowed to resume play for SMS.
Please have your child take the Initial Impact Test at home, BEFORE March 28th.
Below is the link to take the Initial Impact Test. Your child should be in a quiet place that will be undisturbed until completed. Click on the link, then put in the Impact Test Code, then follow the prompts until you get to the “start test.”
Ideally a parent should help your child get through the first part of the test’s demographics. The test asks for name, birthdate, etc., but also questions about ADD, headaches, dizziness etc. My experience tells me many student athletes are not sure how to answer these questions. After the test is started, your child should be able to handle the test on their own.
In the end you do not have to do any emailing of results. Just sign out.
All information goes to and is stored in the ConVal Athletic Initial Impact Test data base.
This test is good for any other sport your child would like to play throughout their year at SMS, and the test is good for two years.

"Taken together, the budget and warrant articles advanced by the board and approved by voters represent a strong commitment by the district to support students of all ages through robust programming, as well as the retention and recruitment of excellent educators," Theberge said. "On behalf of the board, I want to thank voters for their overwhelming support of these guiding principles, which will help ConVal build on its successes and look ahead to a strong future."
Each of the board-sponsored articles passed by a margin of 60 percent or more, paving the way for an expanded public preschool program, as well as a fully-funded operating budget for the coming fiscal year. Voters also widely supported a new collective bargaining agreement between the district and the ConVal Education Association.
The new collective bargaining agreement will run for three years, beginning this summer, and calls for step salary increases for years of experience for classroom teachers, pay raises for paraprofessionals serving as substitutes, a 0.5% annual increase in employee healthcare contributions and the establishment of a fund for repayment of employee student loans. The new agreement will result in cost increases of $877,844 in year one, $737,576 in year two and $714,868 in the final year.

Eligible students and adults will have the opportunity to recover credits for classes they may have previously failed, take a class to get ahead on credits/graduate with their cohort, or complete credit requirements for their high school diploma.
ConVal ADP is considering offering night classes this spring in the following areas:
Classes will run for ten to twelve weeks (one night a week, 3 hours per class, day of week to be determined by the course teacher). The anticipated start date for courses will be the week of March 21, 2022.
Courses will run through June 6, 2022. For adults or students not currently enrolled at ConVal High School there will be a registration fee of $150 per course.
If you or someone you know is interested in taking night classes at ConVal this spring, please fill out the Adult Diploma Program Night Classes Google Form. Filling out this form is essential to implementing this program. We will not be able to run courses if there is not enough interest. Please fill this form out at your earliest convenience.
For more information on the requirements of the Adult Diploma Program, please visit: https://cvhs.convalsd.net/school-counseling/adult-diploma/. If you have any questions about the program or would like to receive an ADP Application, please contact Adult Diploma Director Tyler Mudrick at tmudrick@conval.edu.

The game got off to a fast start with both teams scoring points, including some 3-pointers. During each of the four playing periods, there were multiple rotations which gave everyone on the Unified and the faculty sides opportunities to play.
The game ended with a close final score of 44-40 in favor of the Unified Team.

Vice Chairman, ConVal School Board
It’s that time of year--time to vote on the ConVal school budget. The day is March 8th in your local polling place. All households in the nine towns in our regional school district will receive the annual flyer with the budget and the warrant articles, and information on your voting locations and times.
We all know it’s crucial we make good decisions. If you have children enrolled in the district schools, if you are a community-oriented person who believes in investing in our children, or if you are simply thinking about real estate values and taxes-the school budget vote makes us sit up and pay attention. But the issues are complicated, and straight forward, understandable facts can sometimes be hard to come by. The ConVal School Board would like to offer some information that we believe is important to your decision. The Board has posted a series of articles on the ConVal website, under the School Board link on the budget development process. The information includes the proposed 2022-23 budget, a PowerPoint on the proposed budget, the warrant, a sample ballot, an explanation of the trust funds, the proposed teacher contract (collective bargaining agreement), and information on how property taxes are determined. You can find that information here: https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/budget/. Here is a link to the January 25th Community Forum, whose two topics were the 2022-23 budget and the PreK for All warrant article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWR78WOKlnU. You can also contact your school board representative with questions, those representatives are also listed under the school board link.
This year has seen the usual host of challenges, but with the addition of a sustained effort to manage the ongoing effects of COVID19, and a sustained effort to withstand a host of detrimental pieces of legislation and decisions coming from Concord. ConVal is developing its next five-year strategic plan, with an eye on recovering from the effects of the last two years, and using the lessons learned to move forward. Our communities have done a fine job of providing input, and still have opportunities to weigh in via focus groups. The draft plan will be available for community feedback.
Our schools continued to gain recognition and awards despite these challenges: Linda Compton, school nurse at Antrim Elementary School, was nominated for the “National Life Changer of the Year” award and Cindi Hodgdon was recognized with the “Outstanding German Educator” award by a national organization. The Region 14 Applied Technology Center at ConVal hosted a open house for close to 600 regional students and community members over the past week. The high school students earned 40 awards in the 2022 Scholastic Art Awards competition. ConVal Theatre Arts is alive and well with their stage production of “Frozen: Kids.” The ConVal athletics program has earned many achievements, including the unified basketball, boys basketball, soccer. Our elementary and middle schools sponsor many family and community involvement activities year-round.
The budget for which we are asking support is conservative: the operating budget has a .65% increase over the current year’s budget. The warrant articles include a new three-year teacher contract that the School Board fully supports as fair to the teachers and staff, and to taxpayers. Another warrant article requests the funds to expand the PreK For All program to the final three classrooms, giving the district the ability to accommodate all preschool children in a play-based program.
In the face of declining state revenues, the school board fully recognizes both its responsibility to tax payers and to the children and families of these nine communities. The need for an education that prepares our students for the rigors of independent and informed decisions and action in our democracy have never been greater. The Board is fully invested in comprehensively addressing one of our most pressing problems—managing the cost of education while maintaining excellence and equity in education for all students. We hope that you agree and vote yes for the budget.

The nine focus groups will gather input about long-term strategies and goals that are most important to community members. Feedback collected will help the District to shape a strategic plan that reflects community priorities.
Focus groups are open to all stakeholders – parents/guardians, students, staff, and residents of ConVal’s nine sending communities.
“We thank the many community members who have shown interest and who have shared their ideas through the strategic planning process thus far,” said School Board Chair Tim Theberge. “The feedback of families, students, staff and residents is vital in developing a plan that aligns with community priorities. We ask for their continued help through these focus groups."
Community members can sign up for one of the following sessions:
Space is limited, so those interested should register early. To register, please click here.
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.
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.

The Junior class of 2023 were the victors overall, with points that have been accumulating from competitions between classes all year.
In previous years, Spirit Week had typically been hosted the week before April vacation, so this year was full of many changes! ConVal Games, SALT-hosted games, Penny Wars, door decorating, and other assemblies and fun, spirited competitions have occurred throughout this year leading up to spirit week festivities.
The competition was very close between the current Sophomore and Junior classes, with Seniors in third place.
The Annual Penny War competition ended up raising $282.10 in donations. The Freshman class won Penny Wars with 20+ pounds of change. As the victors, they chose to donate the money to New Hampshire Tackles Hunger.

In conjunction with one of the reading units on service and therapy dogs, they had a therapy dog and trainer visit! Melissa and Canyon, from ColdSprings Healing Paws, joined the classroom this morning so students could see and learn firsthand what it takes to train a therapy or service dog. Students asked great questions, got to see Canyon do some jobs, and those that wanted to, got to give him many pets.
One of the facts that the students were very impressed by is that Canyon had to train for over 10,000 hours to be a therapy dog! Melissa also trains service dogs and the students learned that they live with her, training, for 22 months before they are able to go with the owner who needs them.
It is always such a pleasure for me to bring real life experiences to the classroom for the students. The kids were amazing and so engaged the whole time our visitors were here. It was amazing the calm that was over the room while Canyon was here. Thank you to ColdSprings Healing Paws for coming!

ConVal Wrestling competed in the D3 state tournament at Bow High School yesterday.
Teams were allowed to enter one wrestler at each weight class. ConVal took fourth as a squad. The top three finishers from each weight class qualified for the Meet of Champions for next Saturday in Londonderry.
ConVal had 4 qualifiers:
This is an outstanding finish for the team, considering last season was Covid canceled.
The top three finishers this weekend at the Meet of Champs will qualify for New Englands.

Classes competed for theme days throughout the week. There were dress-up theme days: Valentine's Day outfits, "Adam Sandler Day," "Inside Out Day," "Fancy Dress Day," Class Color Day, and Blue & Gold Day. There were penny wars, and TASC homerooms competed with door decorations to show off some school spirit.
Spirit Week ended with rallies in the gym. Freshmen and sophomores were vying for points on Thursday while juniors and seniors competed on Friday. There was something in the program for everyone: a game of musical chairs, a scooter race, a hula hoop contest, tug-of-war, and half-court basketball shots.
Right in the middle of the rally, students competed in the learning of ConVal's fight song, which hadn't been heard during the pandemic.
The competition between classes was so close! The winning class will be announced over the intercom the morning we return from our February vacation.
Thank you to all of our students and staff that participated during this week to make the building colorful and full of energy and excitement. Thank you to everyone on Student Council for the great planning. Thank you to Anna Muncy, Bethany Cooper, John Reitnauer, and to the class advisors who helped organize Spirit Week. Thank you to all the staff members who participated — there were some great outfits for dress-up days in the front office, the library, and among many of the classroom teachers and paraprofessionals. And a special thank you to the Harris' (Alexis and Matt) for emceeing the gym rallies to make them exciting spirit events.

During the last 30 minutes of TASC, after students had been scheduled for the week, they were invited to visit various card and candy-gram making stations that were set up throughout the school and hosted by parents and students.
Staff were invited to enjoy a "You're Sweet" goodie bar set up at the concession stand next to the gym. The goodie bar contained a wide-assortment of beautifully created sweets by the Baker's Station in Peterborough. Treats included brownie bites, mini cupcakes (vegan and gluten free options), sugar cookies, cake pops, and whoopie pies.
Students were also invited to participate in a TASC homeroom door decorating contest with the Valentine’s Day Theme: “This is Love.” The door decorating had to be completed by the end of TASC time.

Dear 8th Grade Families,

On February 15, the high school counselors begin working with the Great Brook and South Meadow
eighth graders on selecting courses for next year. Independent school students will be invited to the
high school at another time for an information session. We are eager to meet our new Freshman class
and to work with them on choosing their classes.
We look forward to talking with you on March 3.

Congratulations to the ConVal Ocean Bowl Team 2 who was the runner up in the final scoring of the competition and placed second only to the team from Phillips Exeter Academy. ConVal Team 2 is made up predominantly of senior students who went to finish their last competition with a bang! The team members are: Caitlin Beal (team captain), Avery Pope, Leah Krason, Eva McCullough, and Violet Fletcher.
This year, the competition consisted of two round-robin rounds, followed by three single-elimination rounds based on total points rather than a head-to-head competition to accommodate the virtual competition style.
Ocean Bowl is an ocean science competition with schools participating from Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts in our region, and schools competing nationally from each state. ConVal's NOSB teams are coached by science teacher Anna Muncy and math teacher Griffen Fletcher.

One stop on their tour was Mr. Ewing's wood shop where students take a course in Manufacturing II. Students in this class explore manufacturing principles while learning how to use a variety of milling and calculated numeric control (CNC) machines.
Students saw how the CNC router was programmed and how it executed computer-given commands on a piece of wood that ultimately spelled out the slogan of the class: "Be curious, not judgmental."
The field trip was organized as part of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month. CTE Month is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of career and technical education and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across the country.

After a short celebration ceremony of the wrestling seniors, Gareth Armstrong, Max Vassar, Trace Borozinski, Chi Fowler, Gabe Young, and Cam Jordan, ConVal took on Newport first. Newport appeared to wrestle a depleted lineup and ConVal won 70-6.
After Newport, ConVal wrestled a very competitive duel against Winnisquam. Although giving up 24 points because of injury-related forfeits, ConVal earned some pins to pull away 42-35. Although so many ConVal wrestlers handled their opponents, it was a hammerlock pin by sophomore Aiden "Brisket" Brissette that put the Cougars in the driver's seat.
In JV action Briar Bethel and Louis Torres both tenaciously clinched their first wins of the season as first-year wrestlers.

They confer with their advisors, Sara Longo and Amy Rushford, as to what the next weeks and months will bring in terms of community service projects, student and staff recognitions, as well as school spirit activities. After a large-group discussion, they break into smaller work teams to tackle individually assigned tasks.

More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

The school counselors — Rebecca Dunn, Rachel Berten, and Amanda Haley — explained the 26 credit requirements for each group of students in their respective graduating years and then reviewed the course selection process which will take place over the next several weeks.
In essence, students and their parents will have the opportunity to choose from available course options between now and mid-March. Once a student's proposed schedule has been entered in PowerSchool, it will be individually reviewed by school counselors, finalized and worked into a master schedule which also has to consider incoming freshmen from Great Brook and South Meadow as well as students arriving from other schools. The students' final schedules will be available in August.

Tonight is senior night for the playoffs-bound team!
This year there are nine seniors who have been playing together for eight or more years. "I have been around Cougar Basketball teams for a long time. This group of seniors has been one of the most enjoyable teams to watch, ever since they were at the freshman and junior varsity levels," said Athletic Director John Reitnauer. "This team has had a fantastic run. What makes them so special is that they are having fun as they play as a unit that never misses a beat."
You are invited to join the team tonight in the ConVal High School gymnasium and cheer them on. JV plays at 5:00 pm and Varsity plays at 6:30 pm.
Good luck to the team!

Preparation and planning are key to working in a school chemistry lab. To be prepared, students must understand the hazards of any chemicals that they will be working with.
The SDS provides detailed information about the properties of the chemicals typically used in a chemistry classroom, their potential hazards, and how to protect oneself from those hazards.
"Teaching students about the importance of lab safety protocols in a chemistry class is an imperative part of an experiential formula," Mr. Stetzer said.

Proper pronunciation is the key to acquiring a new world language because even though words may look similar, they can be pronounced very differently in the target language.
In Spanish, there are 27 consonant and 5 vowel sounds. Of these, 18 are equivalent to English but 9 consonant sounds are markedly different; the vowel sounds stay constant in Spanish.
In this introductory lesson on just the third day of class, students are trying to sound out words that Maestra Krapohl has put up on the interactive whiteboard. Each word is broken down into its constituent parts with the familiar and new sounds and then put together as the word would be spoken by a native speaker.
The students are doing a great job memorizing the special cases — how is "ll" pronounced at the beginning of a word? is "qu" always pronounced as "k"? what about the rolled "r" sound? how about the "c" before an "i"? — and are working through the lesson with admirable speed and accuracy.

Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders and the School Board’s Strategic Planning Committee encourage community members to complete surveys to help the ConVal School District to develop a new strategic plan.
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:
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.

The first, and arguably the most important, Warrant Article on your ballot determines the amount of expenses (costs) that the School District can incur during the 2022-23 school year that begins July 1.
If this Warrant Article is approved (with a simple majority across the District), the Gross Budget will be $53.766 million.
If the proposed budget is not approved, then the $52.842M “Default” will be used. This would require a significant reduction in planned programs, staffing, and/or facilities related activities.
For full details, please read the article here.

Snowshoeing has long been a tradition at Temple Elementary School. We had snowshoes for a long time, but they became old and brittle and were no longer able to be used. The staff decided it was time to bring back snowshoeing. We were able to make the purchase using money from our fundraisers and funds that came from the Temple 250th Anniversary Fund. We are so thankful for the town's support.

Below are the details about this forum.
ConVal High School in the Lucy Hurlin Theater. Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at 7-9PM.
A community forum is a meeting where people can discuss, share knowledge, and talk to each other about topics of mutual interest.
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.
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.
We have selected two 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. After the two selected topics are over we have allowed time for the 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.
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.
The first topic to be presented will be on the ConVal district budget. Being “budget season” there is a lot of activity happening that is important to share budget information with the community in preparation for district wide voting on March 8th. There will be two sections that will be presented. 1) Budget process and 2021 final tax bills and 2) Proposed budget and warrant articles.
The second topic to be presented will be on the expansion of the ConVal Pre-K program. Why do we need Pre-K, what does Pre-K accomplish, what measurements do we track, why do we want to expand Pre-K. Pre-k budget information.
The live stream will be done as a YouTube event. This will mean that the community forum will be recorded as a video on YouTube 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 be on YouTube servers forever.

ConVal School Board
In previous District Financial articles, we’ve provided information about how the school budget is developed and how the District Assessment is used to calculate the “local education” portion of property taxes in the nine towns in the District. We also explained the concept of unreserved fund balance.
This article will cover similar ground but will walk you through the tax calculation from the other direction (start with the property tax rates rather than with the approved budget). We’ll also explain how the unprecedented “return” of over $4 million to the towns in the District resulted in a reduction of your recent property tax bill.

It’s that time of year again from a school budget and property tax bill point of view. And it’s time to start our annual series of articles regarding the financial aspects of running the District.
We’re going to take a different approach this year. The past two years, our articles built a base of knowledge about the school budget and the property tax process. Instead of repeating some of the basics, we’re going to address aspects of these that are either new or specific to this year. As before, we won’t address any non-financial aspect of the ongoing Covid pandemic.

This forum will take place in the Lucy Hurlin Theater at ConVal High School and via live stream on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, 7-9 P.M.
Learning from our first forum, we felt that the live stream community also needed to be heard and participate in the forum. Live stream participants will now be able to submit questions to the forum presenters, school board, and administration during the forum via email.
As we provided in the first forum the live feed will be on YouTube so the forum can be viewed interactively or, if needed, at your convenience any time after the forum is over.
We are putting together all the necessary logistics to make this community forum a success for all. We will send out a more comprehensive communication prior to the forum that will contain all of the needed details.
Please mark your calendars for this forum.
We thank you in advance for your participation,
ConVal School Board

The inhabitants of Tangier, who rely on soft-shell crabs and tourism for their income, face a unique challenge in the climate debate. Students discuss whether the island inhabitants are best served by investing in a sea wall and other sea-level rise mitigation structures, or if they should abandon the island.
Tangier island provides valuable tidal salt marsh habitat for waterfowl, such as pelicans, blue herons, osprey, rails, egrets, as well as several rare varieties of ducks and geese and is, therefore, a popular destination for ecotourism.
But over the last century and a half, the island's landmass has been reduced by 67%. The Army Corps of Engineers has concluded that Tangier has between 25 and 50 years remaining before sea-level rise, erosion, and the increasing severity of flooding will render the island uninhabitable.
It was inspiring to see students use complex data research and engage passionately with a subject that will likely have much broader applicability in the years to come.

Because the blended learning model is fully implemented in the course, Leonard is in a position to provide the agenda for the class session, even at 6:47 in the morning. During the actual class, students work independently and consult individually with their co-teacher Tyler Mudrick when questions arise.
At a time in the school calendar when student and teacher absences related to illness are more frequent than usual, blended learning helps to ensure the goal of instructional continuation during difficult circumstances.

The $37,000 grant from the New Hampshire Department of Education (NHDOE) will benefit ATC's Construction Trades Program.
Funding will go toward student training and certification fees for the OSHA 10 course, which teaches students the basics of occupational safety and health.
Additionally, the districts will use the funding to purchase virtual reality equipment and software, which will allow students to gain hands-on practice and explore various trades virtually. Funding also will go toward the purchase of National Center for Construction Education and Research textbooks.
Through the Construction Trades Program, students explore several different career paths, while learning foundational safety skills necessary for those trades. As they advance, students can choose from a variety of introductory courses that interest them, including carpentry, masonry, HVAC, electrical and plumbing.
"This funding will help us to strengthen our program and make it possible for students to make educated decisions about which career paths interest and suit them,” Conval Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said.
Funding must be used to accomplish the following priorities:
"There is a wealth of employment opportunities in the construction trades field, and this funding will go a long way in providing students with the support and training needed to be successful in their future careers,” Jaffrey-Rindge Superintendent Reuben Duncan said.
Added Mascenic Superintendent Chris Martin, "Thank you to the New Hampshire Department of Education for this funding and for their continued support of career technical education programs.”

Introduction to Theatre Arts is a production-based introductory course in which students learn and practice acting, directing, and technical theatre skills, along with learning about theatre history and engaging in script analysis. The Theatre Arts Workshop is a production-based class designed for students with an interest in exploring the process of creating and developing their own creative theatre work. Both classes culminate in a showcase as the touchstone experience.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
Yesterday we were informed of five positive cases of COVID-19. Two were at ConVal High School (CVHS), one was at Great Brook School (GBS), and two were at South Meadow School (SMS).
Today we were informed of an additional five cases. One was at Dublin Consolidated School (DCS), two were at GBS, and two were at South Meadow School (SMS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began the process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
Yesterday we were informed of six positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Antrim Elementary School (AES), three were at ConVal High School (CVHS), and two were at Great Brook School (GBS). Today we were informed of an additional ten cases. Three were at CVHS, four were at GBS, one was at PES, and two were at South Meadow School (SMS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began the process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:

The ConVal School District continues to work to review and refine our Reopening Plan and we would like to ask you to share your thoughts once again. You can review our 2021-2022 Reopening Plan by clicking here.
For the District to access the federal grant dollars associated with the 3rd round of ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund) the New Hampshire Department of Education is requiring us to provide another update to our Reopening Plan.
We continue to watch COVID numbers in our 9 towns and the larger Monadnock Region and meet regularly with the COVID Monitoring Team to review the numbers, as well as our present practices and mitigation strategies.
The ConVal District wants the Reopening Plan to reflect the values and expectations of the community. To that end, we are once again asking for your feedback on our present reopening plan. Please fill out a quick survey related to mitigation measures by clicking here.
Thank you for your willingness to fill out this survey. Your voice is important to us, and your responses will further inform our decision-making process.
This survey closes on Thursday, December 16th, at 11:59 PM.
Best,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders, EdD
Superintendent

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of three positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Great Brook School (GBS), and two were at Peterborough Elementary School (PES). As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:

The dates it is available to you will be December 14-17th. It is a free, fun, family event done on your own schedule, and takes place on the trail behind AES (less than a ½ mile walk, so it’s not a difficult hike, but bring boots for possible snow cover).
A story walk is a fun way to get outside with your children. You can enjoy being in the forest together while your child shows you the way and reads each page to or with you as you walk along the story path. Follow the welcome sign to page #1, and continue all the way to the end of the story. Along the way, you will be reading the beautifully illustrated book, Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, by author Julia Rawlinson.
The story will be posted for Tuesday, December 14th through Friday, December 17 during our Scholastic Book Fair week. We ask that any family members who visit please follow all COVID restrictions, such as staying six feet away from others and staying home if you are experiencing any COVID symptoms. Masks are optional outdoors at AES.
Happy autumn/winter reading and walking!

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of eight positive cases of COVID-19. Three were at ConVal High School (CVHS), three were at Great Brook School (GBS), one was at Pierce School, and one was at Peterborough Elementary School (PES).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

They have worked for weeks to complete a formal movement analysis. The analysis includes specifying each movement, muscle, bone, and joint involved for a movement the student(s) choose.
The students have put together a formal report outlining the phases as well as potential injuries and stretching/training for the movement. Some example movements from student projects are: a back handspring, kneading bread, the wave, and — very topical to the current pandemic —putting on a mask.
The students are also completing a formal presentation in which they present their report information.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
Today we were informed of 6 positive COVID 19 cases. All six were at ConVal High School (CVHS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
We have continued throughout the day to attempt to touch base with parents of all potential close contacts. If your student was present at the Tuesday, November 30th boys basketball tryouts he may have been a close contact and we recommend that you reach out to your family doctor.
Our school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:

The agreement will take effect July 1, 2022, and last through the conclusion of the 2024-2025 school year. The agreement is subject to approval by voters from the nine ConVal communities.
"This agreement accomplishes the shared goals of all parties, and I thank everyone involved for their cooperation in reaching consensus," Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. "The contract upholds competitive wages, which we believe will continue to help the district attract and retain talented educators and in turn support the success of our students."
The agreement includes:
"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many of us work, but educators are among those who have had to adapt the quickest to meet the needs of their students," CVEA Negotiations Team Chair Greg Leonard said. "We believe this agreement helps recognize the continued hard work of educators and the important contributions that they make every day, and I want to thank the ConVal team for joining educators in negotiating collaboratively and in good faith."

The most recent strategic plan was created in 2016 and lasted through June 2021.
Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders wishes to provide an update on ConVal School District’s strategic planning process and encourage community members to participate.
“It is our hope to have the development of the strategic plan be a community-wide effort,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “We want to hear from families, students, staff and the residents of the nine towns that make up the ConVal community throughout this process. That way, the district may determine strategies that will be most impactful and most aligned with community priorities.”
Community members are asked to take a preliminary two-question survey here so that the district can better understand ways that stakeholders wish to participate in the process. A more comprehensive survey will be issued in the coming weeks to gather input about long-term strategies and goals.
Along with the survey, the district will gather feedback through focus groups. Community members also will have the opportunity to attend town hall-style meetings. Meeting dates and times will be announced when available.

This is the part of the play where Ezekiel Cheever and Marshal Herrick arrive at the Proctor house with a warrant for Elizabeth Proctor's arrest. Cheever discovers the poppet that Mary Warren had made for Elizabeth. He finds a needle stored inside the doll and considers this as proof of witchcraft and as evidence for the accusation made by Abigail Williams, the villain in the play, that Elizabeth's spirit had stabbed her.
"Miller's allegorical play is very powerful in that it examines the deeper meanings of who deserves our sympathy and our pity in very complex situations," said Cooper about the present-day significance of The Crucible.
"The work harkens back to the deeper structures of Greek plays, in particular tragedies, where protagonists — usually persons of societal importance and outstanding personal qualities — fall to disaster through the combination of personal failing and powerful social forces such as the broad-based belief in witchcraft which, though unproven, controls their family's destiny."
Cooper considers the close reading of The Crucible as an important scaffolding step for students towards the themes that will be studied at a deeper level in AP Literature.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of four positive cases of COVID-19: one at ConVal High School, one at Greenfield Elementary School (GES), one at Peterborough Elementary School (PES), and one at Pierce Elementary School in Bennington.
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time. To learn more about COVID-19, please visit these websites:

Because of the pandemic, we have been unable to hold this tradition for the past two years.
With the help of Temple's Recreation Department and Temple Elementary's Parent-Teacher Team, we decided to serve the senior residents in a different way. With the help of the Parent-Teacher Team the students made loaves of sweet bread to hand out to the seniors.
We miss sharing our special feast with the senior residents of Temple and hope to be able to host this wonderful event next year.

As these pictures that were taken just before the Thanksgiving break show, the solar array assembly on top of the main building looks like it is nearing completion.
The conduits and wire pathways from the solar cells to the electric distribution panel are in the process of being connected and are getting ready to be tied into the main electrical system.
Despite the weather setbacks, ReVision Energy still expects to complete the ConVal solar panel project sometime in December, before the winter holidays.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of five positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Antrim Elementary School (AES), one was at ConVal High School (CVHS), one was at Great Brook Middle School (GBS), one was at Greenfield Elementary School (GES), and one was at Peterborough Elementary School (PES). As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

"The Engineering 3 class concentrates on design and manufacturing," explained Fabianski. Her students decided to work on a chess game that combined these two focus areas. "I always encourage my students to choose their own project to meet criteria and create the project with classroom machines. In this example, SolidWorks and v-carve software, a 3D printer, and a laser engraver-cutter were used."
While one student used programming skills for the laser-engraving of the tesselated Moiré pattern on the wooden game board, the other created the computer instructions for the 3D-printed chess pieces.
Because 3D printing is a slow process, the chess pieces were created in overnight printing shifts with the 3D printer, one each for the white and the black pieces.
The final project was both functionally sound and aesthetically remarkable!

In the Spanish language, the past preterite tense describes actions that have been completed, such as, “Yesterday, I ran three miles - Ayer corrí tres millas.”
The past imperfect tense describes habitual actions that a person used to do, such as, “I used to run three miles a day - Corría tres millas al dia.”
In their presentations, students talked about the activities they enjoyed as children, including playing with their siblings, riding trains, and going out for ice cream with their grandparents.
Sharing old photos of themselves and getting to know one another a little better added a personal touch to their studies.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of three positive cases of COVID-19: two at South Meadow School (SMS) and one at Pierce School.
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS). These cases are not related to each other nor were they identified as a close contact to any other cases previously reported to the schools. Any close contacts to the new cases have been notified.
The staff and students at the schools continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

Students were challenged to design a scientific experiment involving salt, propose a hypothesis, conduct the experiment following the scientific method, and then present the experiment and its results to students and visitors in class — and do all of it in German!
The presentations covered a wide range of effects and uses of salt: its impact on melting ice cubes and the buoyancy of eggs, the importance of adding salt to cookies, the use of salt in 1960s-style lava lamps, and the application of salt to increase the electric conductivity of a water solution.
All student experiments were solidly researched and well presented in the target language to parents, fellow students, and teachers, including science teachers. Of note were also the expertly constructed salt crystal models that were made of toothpicks and gumdrops.
Congratulations to all the students who combined science knowledge and German skills in such an impressive manner!

As part of a related project-based learning (PBL) assignment, students met in teams to propose an emergency kit, specific to a city or country and the needs of the people living there. The teams then presented their emergency kit science projects in the LHT to fellow students and teachers who scored them on specific criteria.
"I thought the presentations went very smoothly and all teams were clearly prepared to explain the hazards and why they chose their location for the emergency kit. Some teams really tried to 'sell' it with a bit of an 'elevator speech' while other teams even projected the estimated cost and weight of their kits," said Andria Johnson after the presentations.
"There were creative and thoughtful kit items, such as flare guns, signal mirrors, MREs, evacuation maps, compactable shovels, solar-powered chargers, waterproof backpacks, and more. It was clear that many students really thought about the location and the needs of the people, given the specific hazards present. It was really fun to see the students display their knowledge, enthusiasm, and personality during the presentations."

The notebooks reflect the students' individual learning styles and creativity. Handcolored diagrams of muscular groups are identified by type — for example, striated or smooth — and carefully annotated.
Using their Chromebooks for additional research on the Internet, students explore the various muscle groups and tendons responsible for coordinated hand movements before creating hand models that illustrate the principles of hand muscle control.
In creating their hand models, students learn that several muscles that originate at the posterior surface of the ulna or the radius have their actions in the hand. Those include the abductor pollicis longus, which abducts and extends the thumb; the extensor pollicis brevis, which extends the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb; the extensor pollicis, which extends the distal phalanx, or finger bone, of the thumb; and the extensor indicis, which extends the index finger at the metacarpophalangeal joint.
In addition, there are many small muscles of the hand that have both their origin and their insertion within the hand itself. Those are referred to as the intrinsic hand muscles. They include the palmaris brevis, which assists with grip; the umbricals, which flex the MCP joints and extend the interphalangeal joints of the fingers; the palmar interossei, which adduct the fingers toward the middle finger; and the dorsal interossei, which abduct the fingers away from the middle finger.
The Anatomy & Physiology 1 class is a great example of blended learning which combines traditional, print-based study with Internet research and physical modeling for optimal student learning outcomes.

Today's challenge to the students who are working in groups or individually: to determine confidence intervals when certain variables, such as the population mean (μ), are unknown.
A confidence interval displays the probability that a certain parameter will fall between a pair of values around the mean. In other words, it measures the degree of certainty or uncertainty in a sampling method. Confidence intervals are most often constructed using levels of 95% or 99%.
For example, if a survey is conducted on a sample of a population (e.g., sample n=100 out of a city population of N=100,000), the confidence interval tells you both the possible range around the estimate and also how stable the estimate is. A stable estimate is one that would be close to the same value if the survey were repeated.

Looking at anonymous comparison and contrast submissions from a previous class, students critically engage with samples of student writing by highlighting where effective writing strategies were used and where the writing could have been improved.
"The editing exercise is an important step in the preparation of students before they engage in their own writing," notes Carne. "Learning from prior examples allows students to be more purposeful when they start to work on their own comparison-contrast essays."

We were informed today of four positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Dublin Consolidated School (DCS). One was at Francestown Elementary School (FES). One was at Great Brook School (GBS). One was at ConVal High School.
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the DCS, FES, GBS, and CVHS school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

A Doll's House portrays the disintegration of the marriage between Nora and Torvald Helmer in the wake of a major revelation. Nora, a seemingly frivolous housewife, has secretly been working to pay off a loan she took out illegally in order to save Torvald's life.
One of the prompts for the 40 minute, free-response essay that students could be asked to write about at the exam in May 2022 is the following: "Many works of literature contain a character who intentionally deceives others. The character’s dishonesty may be intended either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others for personal safety, to spare someone’s feelings, or to carry out a crime. Choose a novel or play, such as A Doll's House, in which a character deceives others. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the motives for that character’s deception and discuss how the deception contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole."
Advanced Placement (AP) examinations are exams offered in United States by the College Board and are taken each May by students. The tests are the culmination of year-long AP courses and may be accepted by colleges and universities as credit or placement criteria.

Students clear their song choices with Mr. Moore to make sure they are a good fit for developing their current skill level and checks in with each student several times during class to provide feedback and suggestions.
At the end of the week, students assess their progress with a rubric and set their own learning goals for the following week.

The concept of the exposure triangle refers to the interrelationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO number (traditional film speed) in taking photographs for specific settings. Whenever one variable changes, at least one of the others must also change to maintain the correct exposure.
Sports photography, for example, typically requires higher shutter speed in order to "freeze the action" while longer shutter speeds in nature photography can help convey the movement of water of a brook or stream. Artistic photographs — for example, portraits taken in the Rembrandt lighting style — take the concept of the exposure triangle to a whole new level for yet another specific effect.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of 7 positive cases of COVID-19: one at Peterborough Elementary School (PES), two at Hancock Elementary School (HES), and four at ConVal High School (CVHS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
Of the cases reported today, four were directly connected to each other. Any individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified.
Our school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

Created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation in 2005, Poetry Out Loud is held annually in partnership with the state arts agencies of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. In New Hampshire, the competition is co-sponsored by the State Council on the Arts.
Lambert explained how to engage with poetry in general and reviewed the ways in which students could select poems for the school-wide competition. Students were encouraged to visit and research the Poetry Foundation's website to familiarize themselves with the contest criteria and to see what type of poems they might connect with.
Lambert also shared the story of ConVal's Bria Frehner (Class of 2013) who in 2012 represented the school at the regional, state, and ultimately at the national level of the Poetry Out Loud competition in Washington, D.C.

One access ladder has been set up just to the left of the loading dock in the back of the school and another ladder is set up on the "Void" side of the link.
On Thursday, a crane lifted equipment on the roof in the 200 section of the classrooms to get everything ready for further work next week, when the installation of the solar system will proceed in parallel with the fitting of new heating coils that will service classrooms in the 100 section of the building.

Their warm-up problems featured complex formulas with many variables and exponents. Following the exponent rules, they streamlined these expressions into less complicated ones.
Not only does understanding exponent properties help students to solve various algebraic problems, exponents are also used in a practical manner in everyday life when calculating square feet, for example.
Exponent rules are also used in the world of computers and technology when describing megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of three positive cases of COVID-19. Two were at ConVal High School (CVHS), and the third was at Peterborough Elementary School (PES).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
Out of the three cases reported today, two involved close contact. The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified. Because the CVHS and PES school communities continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of two positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Antrim Elementary School (AES), and the other was at Hancock Elementary School (HES).

Several passing cars recognized the students' efforts to give back to their community with friendly honks. The cleanup was one of four litter collection dates that the Class of 2024 had committed to through the NH Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway program in April (see also this web post).
As Jim Wickham noted after the event: "It was a great day working with these students. They gave back to their community in an invaluable way. They made a challenging job enjoyable as they approached it with a fun attitude — music, snacks, and friendly chatter."

An officer in the Continental Army from 1775-1780, Shays fought in several American Revolutionary battles. He then served the town of Pelham by holding various town offices while eking out a living on his farm.
After the Revolution, America found itself in massive debt, causing state governments to raise taxes and demand that citizens pay them in hard currency. Many farmers had little cash, so their properties were seized, and some were imprisoned. Led by Shays and other dissidents from 1786-1787, rural citizens petitioned the state legislature, protested outside courthouses, and eventually stormed the federal armory in Springfield, MA. This later became known as Shays Rebellion.
The rebels were eventually defeated, but their actions made it clear that the first written constitution of the United States, known as the Articles of Confederation, was not working. This led to the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, where George Washington was elected as our nation's first president, the Constitution of the United States was written, and a strong federal government was established.
APUSH students who debated in favor of naming the highway after Shays argued that he deserved the honor because he spoke out against government corruption. Opposing APUSH students argued that he does not deserve the honor because his motives were selfish.

ConVal Theatre Arts was thrilled to welcome a live audience to their opening night performance of "Infinite Black Suitcase" by EM Lewis.
In thirteen vignettes, Lewis leads us through an insightful and endearing examination of a single day in the lives of three Oregonian families as they attempt to deal with the trauma of death and dying as humanly and lovingly as possible.
The play is particularly poignant this year, ConVal Theatre director Liz Moore noted. "It has been a … … … There aren’t enough appropriate words in the English language to describe the experience of last two years and the infinite variety of ways in which they have re-shaped each of us. It has been a time of incredible change, growth, and struggle."
"While a play about grief and community will always be a challenge, it seemed even more fitting for our current times and for these students that I have the enviable privilege to create it with. The fact that so many of them came out for this production with such enthusiasm and commitment for telling these stories speaks volumes of their talent, dedication, and desire to connect and communicate."
The following students appear in a variety of roles throughout the play (in alphabetical order): Zach Cassidy, Katherine Craig, Alissa Cutting, Rowan Davidson, Max DePoyster, Nick DiNino, Jessica Hench, Esther Janis, Lili Juarez, Hadi Lancaric, Addie Mackensen, Rhiannon Moore, Charlotte Murphy, Beau Olesky, Mia Schwabe, Charlie Savage, Haley Serafine, Dan Sleeper, Kaitlyn Stone, Annelise Strong, Caroline Stultz, Liasiah Torres, Ryan Whitney, Alex Williams, and Gabe Young.
The play's production crew includes Haley Serafine (Stage Manager), Jennifer Hopkins (Lighting Designer), Kai Flynn (Sound Operator), and Makila Sesito (Mic Operator).
Performances continue this weekend.

The program brings women mentors with careers in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) into the classroom to share their stories and their science with Great Brook and South Meadow School girls.
Each week, members of the Lab Girls meet a different role model and then have a chance to experiment with the tools of her trade.
ConVal High School students with an interest in science have a community service opportunity to help the middle school girls navigate the hands-on experiments and additionally benefit from guest speakers during the TASK Talk series at ConVal.
For more information, contact Andria Johnson (ajohnson@conval.edu).

Jodie Mack is an English-born American experimental filmmaker and animator who currently teaches animation at Dartmouth College.
In her wide-ranging presentation to the students, she addressed topics ranging from the concept of Taylorism in early animation production to the architecture of medieval churches as first, quasi-filmic experiences. Students also learned about the importance of film perforations, known as sprocket holes, in the production and projection of traditional, film-based movies as well as the tension between representative and abstract art.
Mack is fascinated by the concept of "stroboscopia," the relationship between a series of still images and the illusion of motion that is being created through the physical phenomenon known as the persistence of vision. Central to her work is also the original meaning of the word "animation — not related to cartoons or Pixar movies, but in the sense of 'bringing to life' inanimate objects and concepts," Mack noted.
Mack talked about her non-traditional, meandering educational pathway by sharing that she attended two community colleges before enrolling in a bachelor's degree program at the University of Florida. She went on to earn her MFA in film, video, and new media at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "If there is anything that you should remember from my presentation," she said, "it is that you are going to be OK, you are going to figure it out."
Besides sharing her personal background as an immigrant and her family history, Mack connected with students by showing several of her animated films, including Curses (a music video), A Joy, and portions of her MFA thesis project Yard Work Is Hard Work.
The final activity of this truly unique TASC Talk opportunity was the taking of a series of pictures with students that she will animate and share with the class in the coming weeks.

In partnership with the Harris Center for Conservation Education, they got to engage in an actual applied science community project involving woodland salamanders.
The Harris Center maintains a series of study plots as part of the Salamander Population & Adaptation Research Collaboration Network (SPARCnet), a regional research effort aimed at understanding the effects of climate change on woodland salamanders. Each plot consists of 50 small wooden “coverboards” that appeal to woodland amphibians — especially red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) — as sources of shelter.
With the help of student scientists, the Center surveys the plots for salamanders each spring and fall. By keeping track of the salamanders found under each board, scientists can begin to get a sense for the abundance and distribution of red-backed salamanders and compare local findings with more than 30 other SPARCnet sites from Virginia to Ontario.
As naturalist John Benjamin of the Harris Center noted in the introductory presentation in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre, the red-backed salamanders are an important indicator species for the impacts of human land use, associated reductions and degredations in salamander habitat, as well as overall climate change.
Perhaps the most astounding fact of the Harris Center presentation: In a typical year, the mass of surveyed redbacked salamanders exceeds the mass of all other vertebrate animals in the same plot of land combined!

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed today of three positive cases of COVID-19. One was at Great Brook Middle School (GBS), and two were at ConVal High School (CVHS).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our very thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
Out of the three cases reported today, only one case involved close contact. The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified.

Good Evening ConVal Community,
We were informed of three positive cases of COVID-19 at the following schools, Antrim Elementary School (1), ConVal High School (1), and Hancock Elementary School (1).
As soon as we were informed of the cases, we began our thorough process of identifying anyone who may have had close contact, which follows the most recent guidance from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS).
Out of the three cases reported, none involved close contact. Because the staff and students continue to implement the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.

Each day, under adult supervision the fourth-grade students take turns raising and lowering the American flag. They are taught to honor the American flag by handling it with respect and not letting it touch the ground. The students are also taught how to fold the flag when they bring it in at the end of the day.
The students have been doing a great job taking this responsibility seriously. We are very proud of them.

Chana Porter is an emerging playwright, speculative novelist, and education activist. According to the New York Times, Porter “uses incongruity and exaggeration to suggest some midnight-dark truths about human life and endeavor.”
Porter talked to the class about her work and her own educational pathway. Her most recent work is the novel The Seep (2020), a unique alien invasion story that focuses on the human element and the myriad ways in which we see, and do not see, our own world. She spent time working with students on a series of writing prompts and shared some techniques and methods to help us focus and get out of our way when trying to create.
Porter received her undergraduate degree from Hampshire College before undertaking non-residential graduate studies at Goddard College so she could continue to devote time to writing. Her current interest is the development of a screenwriting project in Los Angeles.
Porter's plays have been developed or produced at New Georges, Playwrights Horizons, The Catastrophic Theatre, La MaMa, Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre, Cherry Lane, The Invisible Dog, and Movement Research.
Porter is also the co-founder of the Octavia Project, a free summer writing and STEM program for Brooklyn teenage girls and non-binary youth. She has taught her embodied creativity course Writing from the Body at the University of Houston, Fordham University, Hampshire College, Goddard College, Weber State, and with Sarah Lawrence’s Global Classroom.

Our teachers and students took advantage of the great fall weather and held the lesson outside. This allowed for students to see examples of the wind viewing the leaves, branches, and trees.

This meant that our Extended Learning Programs (or ELPs) could not run. This year, we have been able to have these programs running again. Students self-select, apply for, and attend weekly ELPs. Currently the offerings are Costume Design (pictured above), Dungeon Master Guild, Improv, Ancient Warfare, and Photography. Students are responsible for connecting with their classroom teachers to make up any missed assignments. These exploratory programs offer our middle school students the opportunity to try new things, practice organizing their time, collaborate with peers, and develop leadership skills.

ConVal Community Dollars for Scholars will be running a shoe drive from Monday, October 4 to Wednesday, November 17.
We will be collecting gently worn, used, and new shoes of all kinds at ConVal High School in the box that is located in the main office!
Collection sites are also available at Great Brook Middle School, South Meadow Middle School, and Bellows-Nichols Insurance Agency in Peterborough. We will also be at Shaw's in Peterborough on Saturday, October 9 and 16 from 9:30am-2:30pm.
We are working with Funds2Orgs that then distributes these shoes to micro-entrepreneurs in developing countries to help them create, maintain and grow small businesses.
Our goal is to collect 50 bags with 25 pairs of shoes per bag! All money raised from this fundraiser will help us to award scholarships to those who have faced life challenges and demonstrate a financial need.
So clean out your closets and make a difference locally and globally. Thank you!
Chris Heider (cheider@conval.edu) and Rebecca Dunn (rdunn@conval.edu) serve on the Board of Directors for ConVal Community Dollars for Scholars and are happy to answer any questions you might have.

As part of their unit on cars in German 4, Frau Hodgdon's students went into the student parking lot at ConVal High School to practice an important skill: "den Ölstand messen," to check the oil level.
Everything had to be done in German and to give you a sense of what the instructions were, here is a sample:
"1. Um den Ölstand korrekt zu messen, sollte der Motor warm sein. Warten Sie nach dem Abstellen des Motors aber ein wenig, damit das Öl sich komplett in der Ölwanne sammeln kann.
2. Die meisten Autos haben einen Ölmessstab, um den Ölstand zu prüfen. Dafür Haube öffnen und den Ölmessstab herausziehen. Wo er bei Ihrem Auto sitzt, entnehmen Sie ggf. der Bedienungsanleitung. (Achtung: Manche moderne Autos haben keinen Messstab mehr, hier wird der Ölstand über den Bordcomputer abgerufen).
3. Ölmessstab mit einem fusselfreien Stoff- oder Papiertuch reinigen und ihn wieder komplett (!) in die entsprechende Öffnung einführen.
4. Ölmessstab erneut herausziehen.
5. Mithilfe der Markierungen ablesen, ob der Ölstand richtig ist: Auf dem Messstab sind der minimale und maximale Ölstand vermerkt, der Ölfilm sollte mindestens bis zur Mitte zwischen den beiden Markierungen (eher in Richtung Max-Strich) reichen, keinesfalls aber darunter oder darüber liegen."
These students are ready for the Autobahn!

The first day was devoted to a chemical analysis of the water quality. On the second day, students sampled for macroinvertebrates.
"In the end, we are comparing the tested elements of water quality — the chemical testing — with species richness, i.e. the amount of critters we found," said Stetzer. "We want to see if Freshman Pond is a vibrant ecosystem, or if it’s one with little diversity."

ConVal High School was one of just three schools across the nation to receive class sets of Calliope mini computers. The Roberta® open source development platform uses drag-and-drop instructions which allow students to put together complex programming steps in an intuitive and easy-to-execute way.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 at Antrim Elementary School (1), Hancock Elementary School (1), Great Brook School (1), and South Meadow School (1).
We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Those who have been identified as a close contact have been notified.
The staff and students continue to work within the mitigation strategies of our Reopening and Recovery Plan, but we need your help. If your student(s) has symptoms of COVID 19 be sure to keep them at home until they are no longer symptomatic. If your student is symptomatic, contact your child’s primary care physician.
Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
2. Person has met CDC criteria for ending home isolation (i.e., if a person is not tested, they are assumed to be COVID-19 positive).
Our school is working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change. The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may be exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to: monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and wear a mask in indoor public settings for 14 days following the last day of exposure. Additionally, consider testing 3-5 days following the last day of exposure. If your child develops symptoms please isolate them at home and seek testing for COVID-19.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 at ConVal High School (1), Hancock Elementary School (2),

As a quick recap to the survey results:
There were 135 survey respondents with 92 noting they will be attending the Community Forum in person.
The survey topics in ranked order of selection by the community:
We had made the commitment to selecting the top four ranked choices for presentation and questions/answers (a dialog). As we analyzed the results we saw that the top five topics were very close in rankings. We decided that we would expand our presentations to the top five vs. the top four.
There is also an hour set aside (8-9 PM) for the audience to ask questions of the on-stage panel that are not in the presentation topics above.
It was satisfying to also see that the question of which level of school the respondent had students in contained approx. 15% who noted none. This means that not only are parents interested in our district school system but so are community members that do not have students in our district.
Important to note from our previous correspondence. Due to physical distancing requirements we had to limit the number of community members attending in-person at the Lucy Hurlin theatre to less than 100. As you can see above we are close to capacity and cannot accommodate community members attend in-person that did not respond in the survey. We are providing a livestream for those who cannot be accommodated in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre. You can view the live stream from your own environment.
To assist those whose home environment does not support live stream we will make available an overflow room at the high school for community members to view the forum as a live stream. Remember, live stream is “view only” and does not allow for interaction with the does not allow for interaction with the presenters. Seating in this “overflow” area will be on a first come, first seat basis and as soon as it is at capacity we will not be able to seat any more.
THE AGENDA
The below agenda outlines the sequence of topic presentations and the presenters. It is important to note that others members of the ConVal school board, who are not presenting will also be on stage to assist in answering any questions. Included in the agenda (at the bottom) is the link to click on to access the live stream.
We are looking forward to a productive forum.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of cases of COVID-19 at Hancock Elementary School (3), Peterborough Elementary School (1), and South Meadow School (1). We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact with the infected person. The staff and students of all three schools continue to do a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our Reopening and Recovery Plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model, all students will remain in person, and those who have been identified as close contacts have been notified.
The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may be exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to:
For 14 days from the last day of exposure:
Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
Approved tests include:
Our school is working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

After being greeted by Principal Heather McKillop on the apron, families proceeded to the main entrance where they followed COVID protocols that are required for entry into the school, including temperature checks.
Once inside, families could briefly meet with school counselors in the link before attending TASC where they received a copy of their students' daily schedules.
The remainder of the evening was spent in classrooms where parents could meet and interact with their children's teachers.
On the way out, the ConVal School Store provided an opportunity to buy some ConVal swag.
"I was grateful to meet new families and to see many familiar faces," Heather McKillop said after the event. "Anytime we can welcome parents and guardians to the building it is exciting, as we are one school community that truly cares about helping all of our students be successful."

An equation system is two or more equations that share variables, such as x + 2y = 6 and 3x - y = 11. One way this system can be solved is by graphing each equation. The point where the two lines cross is the solution to the system.
In this example that would be when x = 4 and y = 1, or the point on the graph (4,1). Rather than creating their graphs by hand, Algebra students can enter each equation into the calculators. The TI-Nspire produces neat, clear graphs with the precise intersection point labeled.
Equation systems are used to find the value of two variables at the same time. For example, suppose Skyler and Emily buy food from the same pizza restaurant. Emily buys 2 slices and 2 iced teas for $12. Skyler buys 4 slices and 1 iced tea for $18. How much did each pizza slice (x) and each iced tea (y) cost?
[Hint: 2x + 2y = 12, and 4x + y = 18] Solution: (4,2)

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of seven positive cases of COVID-19. Two were at Antrim Elementary School (AES), one was at Pierce School (BES), two were at Hancock Elementary School (HES), one was at Peterborough Elementary School (PES), and one was at South Meadow Middle School (SMS). We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact with the infected person. The staff and students of all three schools continue to do a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our Reopening and Recovery Plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model, all students will remain in person, and those who have been identified as close contacts have been notified.
The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may be exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to:
For 14 days from the last day of exposure:
Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
Approved tests include:
Our school is working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

Come join us at the Annual Title I Schoolwide meeting this Thursday, September 23, 2021, from 5-5:30 pm.
Attendees will receive some great information regarding the Title I program at Pierce School. Please contact Kathie Morrocco, Title I Project Manager at kmorrocco@conval.edu for more information. You can sign up for the meeting here.
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies for children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
The majority of Title I funds are allocated at the district level in all states, based on mathematical formulas involving the number of children eligible for Title I support and the state per-pupil cost of education. Title I funds are currently allocated through four grants: basic grants, concentration grants, targeted grants, and Education Finance Incentive Grants EFIG).

This year, the event functioned as the kickoff event to Homecoming Weekend.
There was a full range of activities in which students, teachers, and staff could participate together, including
There was even an opportunity to participate in a jam session in the Band Room with ConVal teachers Brock Lambert and Mike Wozmak.
The ConVal Games also have a competitive dimension. Each class competes individually and in groups to determine a class champion. The class with the most tickets earns the right to choose their school color for the year. This year's winner was the Junior class.
"I was thrilled to participate in my first ConVal Games," said Principal Heather McKillop after the event. "I was able to visit many of the activities and talked to students at each station. The ConVal Games were a great culture-building activity for our school as we come back together in person."

We are excited about providing you this opportunity for a constructive, open, informative, and meaningful dialogue.
Each section explains a specific aspect of the forum and will give you a full understanding of what will be happening and how to participate.
Background
Communication is the key component of our commitment to be fully transparent with our community in matters critical to them and to have a dialog where we can share our information and engage in a question-and-answer session. School board meetings, being business meetings, provide limited opportunities for dialogue. Our answer to this need is a Community Forum.
What is our Community Forum and how is it organized?
It is the opportunity for the public, the School Board and the administration to engage in a dialogue on topics that have been chosen by the community to be important to them. The forum will be held in the Lucy Hurlin Theater at the ConVal High School. We will have both in-theater and live stream audiences. A survey that will be sent to the ConVal community will provide, amongst other questions, the opportunity for each respondent to select from suggested topics and add another if not included. More on the Survey later in this note.
The forum will be two hours in length. There will be a moderator that will be responsible for controlling the flow of information and ensuring good organization to make this a positive experience for all. Dialogue will only take place between the in-theater audience and the school board and administration. The live-stream audience will be view only.
The first hour will be focused on presenting each selected topic and allowing for a question and answer dialogue for each.
The second hour will give the in-theater audience the opportunity to ask questions on any topic of their choosing.
The school board and administration will respond to these questions and note whether they relate to issues already discussed by the school board, or if the board member responding is providing their own personal opinion.
The survey
The most important part of our Community Forum.
The survey is designed to solicit information from each respondent household for information about the ConVal town they live in, what level of school their children attend (if they do), their email address for communications, whether or not they would like us to provide childcare.
Most importantly there is a section on the survey for the respondent to select three topics that they find are most important for discussion at the Community Forum. We have provided seven topics that the school board believes reflect the most important areas for discussion. We have also left open a topic area to enter, if you wish, another topic that you feel is important to you and the ConVal community. Please select a total of three (three) topics including your topic, if you entered one. We will select from the responses to the survey the top four most requested topics for inclusion in the forum.
The survey, to be counted, must be completed and submitted no later than Monday, Sept. 20.
The link to the survey is provided at the end of this note.
COVID protocols
The Lucy Hurlin Theater is located in the ConVal High School on ConVal property. As such we will follow the protocols required by the Green Phase we are currently in as relates to physical distancing in the Theater, mandatory mask use requirements, and the screening process and question upon entry.
There is also one further COVID imposed restriction. To maintain proper physical distancing there will be allowed no more than 100 ConVal community folks to be in-theater. If, based on surveys received, we find that there are more than 100 folks noting that they will be in-theater, we will have to select the first 100 returned surveys as those being the ones that will be able to attend in-theater. Based on the email address you provided to us in the survey we will contact those selected and those not selected to be in-theater.
If others, that were not a part of the 100 first come first serve selected do arrive at the theater we will provide access to the Cafe for their viewing of the forum thru a live stream feed. This live stream feed will not allow for direct participation in the forum.
As responsible members of the ConVal community we support these protocols.

The Unified Team was well-coached from the sidelines by co-coaches Emeric Szep and Zak Shapiro. Great defensive plays on both sides led to intensely fought midfield duels that turned into solid chances on the far ends of the field to score goals.
A special guest at the scrimmage was ConVal Principal Heather McKillop. "I was so honored to be invited to be a partner for the Unified scrimmage," McKillop said after the game. "Every time I looked up, I saw teammates smiling and cheering each other on."
"Both teams played hard and the crowd was constantly cheering loudly. I am so proud of both teams and ecstatic that our Unified team captured the victory with a score of 12-7. Go ConVal!"

To make this community service activity competitive, the students were split into teams and given a set "budget." Their goal was to buy nonperishable healthy foods and try to make meals that they would want to eat — not an easy task.
Students used their phone calculators to stay within their team's given budget and spent over an hour to spend $50 while making careful choices.
"Every year this might be one of my favorite parts of this program," said Conval School Board member Katherine Heck. "Students really learn what shopping on a tight budget looks like."
"The students' behavior was exemplary, as were their manners," Heck added.

The goal of Contemporary Band is to provide more opportunities for students to perform guitar and keyboard for large audiences. The students began their collaboration with the song Sliver, written and recorded by Nirvana in 1990.
They hope to add new members and are especially looking for keyboardists. Any ConVal student interested in joining, and renaming, Contemporary Band is encouraged to let Mr. Wickham know.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of two cases of COVID-19 at Great Brook School and a case at Pierce Elementary School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact with the infected person. The staff and students of all three schools continue to do a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our Reopening and Recovery Plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model, all students will remain in person, and those who have been identified as a close contacts have been notified.
The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may be exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to:
For 14 days from the last day of exposure:
Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
Approved tests include:
Our school is working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

The 'public comment’ periods at the beginning and end of the School Board meetings have been a source of frustration for some in the community. Board meetings are designed to conduct the business of the District and therefore there is limited time for meaningful dialogue between the public and the Board.
We have listened to our community and in our ongoing effort for full transparency, we have structured this Community Forum to allow for discussion on community-selected topics with questions to and answers from the school board and administration. The Board and Administration look forward to hearing from our nine communities in a constructive and flexible manner.
Please mark your calendars for Thursday, September 30, at 7:00 PM, to attend our first Community Forum at the Lucy Hurlin Theatre located at the ConVal High School.
More information will follow with details about the forum, and how to participate in a survey to determine forum topics. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with our communities with this opportunity for a more open dialogue.

NH Tackles Hunger began Monday, Sept. 13 and ends Saturday, Sept. 18. The canned goods drive is organized by WMUR and the New Hampshire Food Bank with sports teams across the state.
Community members are encouraged to bring non-perishable canned food items to this weekend’s homecoming games. All donations will be delivered to the Peterborough Food Pantry. To view the homecoming games schedule, please click here.
Throughout the week, high school students will have the opportunity to drop off canned goods in bins outside of their classrooms.
Residents can make a direct donation to the Peterborough Food Pantry by clicking here.
Last year, the school collected monetary donations in lieu of canned goods due to COVID-19 concerns. ConVal collected over $2,300 in donations. In total, ConVal has collected thousands of pounds of food through its participation in the program.
“Each year, I am pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of donations that we receive during NH Tackles Hunger Week. It is so inspiring to see residents come together in an effort to benefit families in the surrounding community,” said Superintendent Rizzo Saunders. “In the past, our district has collected the most donations in the state and I am confident that we can do it again this year. I encourage all those who can to participate.”

The goal was for each team to depict on a banner the flag, crest, and three tourist sites of the German city of their choice. In addition, each team created name tags for team members.
The guest judges, including Principal McKillop and Social Studies teachers Mr. Leonard and Mr. Bowman, selected their favorite banner based on creativity and information.
In Block 1, Team Kӧln (Cologne) won the challenge, and in Block 2, Team Hamburg finished on top.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of three positive cases of COVID-19. Two were at Great Brook School (GBS), and the other was at ConVal High School (CVHS).
We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS). NH DHHS provides support identifying individuals who qualify as having had close contact with the infected person. The individuals who were identified as having close contact have been notified.
Because the staff and students at GBS and CVHS continue to do a wonderful job of implementing the mitigation strategies outlined in our Reopening and Recovery Plan, there is no need to change our instructional mode at this point in time.
The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may have been exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to:
For 14 days from the last day of exposure:
Symptomatic students or staff are allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
Our district is working closely with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for these situations and will provide updates should their recommendations change.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

AP exam scores range from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest.
“Taking an AP course requires time and dedication. Receiving these high scores and recognitions is something all of these students may take pride in,” Principal McKillop said.
Through more than 30 college-level courses and exams, AP provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement at the college level, and stand out from their peers as they navigate the college admissions process.
More than 3,600 colleges and universities annually receive AP grades. More than 90 percent of four-year colleges in the U.S. report that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams typically experience greater academic success in college and enjoy higher graduation rates than students who do not participate in the AP program as high school students.
“As a district we’re exceptionally proud of these students for demonstrating such a high standard on challenging exams during a very trying school year,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of a positive case of COVID-19 at each of the following schools: Great Brook School, Antrim Elementary School, and Pierce Elementary School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact with the infected person. The staff and students of all three schools continue to do a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our Reopening and Recovery Plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model, all students will remain in person, and those who have been identified as a close contacts have been notified.
The current recommendation from NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) for people who may be exposed to COVID-19 in the school setting is to:
For 14 days from the last day of exposure:
Symptomatic students or staff can be allowed to return to school when one of the following two conditions is met:
Approved tests include:
Our school is working closely with the New Hampshire (NH) Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to follow the guidance they have provided for this situation and will provide updates should their recommendations change.
Because COVID-19 is most commonly spread through respiratory droplets, the NH DHHS is recommending the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

To prepare, the students individually read the poem, “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman. They also practiced annotating it by writing their observations, questions, and thoughts in the margins. The students then met in small groups to discuss the poem and its meaning.
When the class gathered back together, Mrs. Holcombe asked the students what went well in their small group discussions and what did not. The students shared that their conversations were more interesting when everyone participated and shared their thoughts.
They noted that when no one or only a few students talked, the discussion quickly became awkward. The activity reminded students that all of their voices are important in helping each other learn.

On the first day of school, the German Club welcomed first-year students to German class by helping them make a "Schultüte" (“school cone”, pronounced shool-too-tuh). These are paper cones filled with treats, small gifts, and school supplies.
In Germany, it is traditional for parents to give their children a Schultüte to wish them luck on their first day of school. Pictured here, two German club students give a leftover Schultüte to faculty and staff members, including Mr. Bartsch.

They met with their school counselors and teachers, practiced finding their classrooms, and were guided throughout the morning by 25 upperclassmen. These students volunteered their time on the last day of their summer vacation to help our new students get off to a good start. Their key advice: get involved with a club or other activity, and don’t worry.
New students will soon find their way around campus. The morning ended with an ice cream social and time for students to connect with old and new friends.

Click the "Play" button below to view the video.
Home Screening Procedure
The video references the home screening procedure that needs to be followed during the green phase.
Before leaving home, the student's temperature needs to be taken. If the temperature is 100.0˚F or higher, students need to stay home.
The following questions need to be answered: Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?
If the answer is YES to any of the above questions, students need to stay home, and parents/guardians need to contact the school nurse to report their child’s symptoms.
In addition to the screening for symptoms, students need to answer the following two questions about close contact and international travel.
If the answer is YES to either of the above questions, parents/guardians need to contact the school nurse to report their child’s close contact or international travel.
Last April, ConVal High School began using a ConvenientMD screening tool to expedite the process of entering the building. We are returning to this practice now in the fall while in the green phase.
On their smartphones, students should log onto covid.convenientmd.com/conval and fill out the brief self-assessment screening tool each morning. The user ID is the portion of the student email before the @cvsd.me.
Once the user ID is entered, the student can begin to answer the questions. Based on the answers, a page will populate that says a student is cleared or not cleared for the day. This is the page that the student will show the screener when they enter the building each morning. Each day the page is stamped with the date and time.
If you have any further questions, please contact school nurse Gretchen Shippee at gshippee@conval.edu.

As Dr. Rizzo Saunders explains in the video, the district developed the plan with input from families, staff and community members, as well as guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS), State of New Hampshire and New Hampshire Department of Education.
The plan consists of four instructional phases: blue, green, yellow, and red. The district will follow the Green Phase during the fall of 2021 with a full-time in-person learning model for students.
During the Green and Yellow Phase, masks are required indoors for students and staff.
Masks are required on school buses at all times. Masks are not required outdoors.
The instructional phases are:
The district may transition to a different phase based on recommendations from public health officials and data from the Greater Monadnock Public Health Region. The Greater Monadnock Public Health Region consists of communities in the Southwestern part of the state.
The criteria for transitioning forward to a new phase are:
Additional criteria considered when transitioning phases are where cases are located, the availability of outdoor learning spaces, the stress on local medical facilities and more.
"We have every reason to believe that this year will be closer to normal than the last two school years have been. Still, the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge we must remain mindful of and take steps to address," said Superintendent Rizzo Saunders. "We believe the plan we have assembled will help us achieve our goal of supporting our students while keeping them, their families and our faculty and staff safe and healthy."
Prior to the start of each school day, parents will be asked to screen their child at home for any COVID-19 related symptoms. Staff will also be asked to screen for symptoms.
Students and staff members should not come to school if they are experiencing symptoms, including a fever of 100 degrees or higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, runny nose, nausea or vomiting.
Additionally, students and staff members should not come to school if they have tested positive for COVID-19 or if they have been in close contact with a person with COVID-19. Students should not come to school if they have traveled internationally or by cruise ship in the last 10 days. Parents/guardians and staff should report any close contacts or travel to school.
Students and staff should only return to school after they have met the criteria for doing so.
In order to minimize the likelihood of spread of COVID-19, the district will be utilizing outdoor learning spaces, including the use of tents, for some classes. Schools may use the tents for exploratory outdoor learning, independent reading, lunches, specials, classroom instruction, related services, special education instruction, small group instruction, and more.
During the Blue and Green Phases, students and staff will be required to maintain a social distance of three feet and a distance of six feet during the Yellow Phase.
Additionally, the district will encourage regular hand washing, especially before and after lunch and snack time. The district will regularly clean common areas, as well as high-touch surfaces.
The district installed MERV 11 filters, as well as ionization units in the ductwork of all HVAC units to allow for enhanced air quality in all school buildings.

School Board Chairman Tim Theberge addressed the audience with a heartfelt message of gratitude for what everyone had accomplished during the pandemic and spoke of the opportunities that had presented themselves in the crisis. "The work from home trend, which accelerated during COVID-19 pandemic, has demonstrated that the Monadnock region is an attractive place, both to work from and to raise a family, largely because of the excellence in education that the ConVal school system provides," Theberge noted.
Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders delivered an inspiring and humorous opening speech that played with the metaphor of "interdimensional portals" in schools. "There will be questions such as whether students will need parent permission to use portals and, if other beings come through the portal, if they have to wear masks," Saunders mused.
Dr. Ann Forrest reflected on last year's opening message and how many of the items noted then still apply this year. She also introduced a year-long initiative of professional development opportunities. "These will be intentional learning communities, forums for us to learn from one another and adjust our practices in the pursuit of the goal that all learners will achieve academically, act thoughtfully, and contribute to the larger society," Forrest said.
The remainder of Opening Day was spent in teams working together to address the challenges of the coming year.

"We are so happy to be able to offer this resource to all of our students for another year," said Superintendent Rizzo Saunders. "Even though meals will be available to students regardless of qualification status, I cannot stress enough how important it is for parents to fill out an application. Doing so allows families to determine if they are eligible for a number of other significant benefits."
Families that complete an application will have the opportunity to learn about their potential eligibility for other benefits, including discounted or waived academic testing and college application fees, reduced-cost broadband internet access, and the pandemic EBT program.
Data from the program is also used to determine the amount of funding that is provided to the district for programs, such as Title I and e-rate reimbursement, which is used to fund technology. Additionally, the data is used by other federal and private grant foundations to award funding to the district, as well as towns within the district.
Families can apply here. Only one application should be completed per household.
For more information about the program, please email Lori Schmidt at lschmidt@conval.edu.
Questions regarding dietary concerns or meals should be directed to Katelyn Moore at conval@freshpickscafe.com.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the ConVal School District has made operational changes and adopted policies to respond to this virus based on the best available science and advice of medical experts. It is important for us all to recognize that science is a developing process and that this was a new “novel” virus with which our public health system had no previous knowledge of methods of transmission, lethality, long-term effects, etc. As more and more data becomes available, consensus on best practices has and will continue to change. That is, after all, the nature of science. As frustrating as that is for all of us, following the best available science will be our collective pathway through this pandemic. As a result of the collaborative efforts of the Board, community, administration, teachers, staff, and students there have been no confirmed cases of transmission within our schools. We are thankful for that cooperation. With the emergence and spread of the Delta variant, the Board wants to make sure our community is familiar with the reasoning that went into the decisions that resulted in the ConVal Reopening Plan. The District is legally responsible for the safety and health of our students and our Reopening and Recovery Plan for the 2021-2022 school year reflects that responsibility.
A Focus on In-Person Learning
Although the Board is proud of our District’s leadership and response to the pandemic, in deploying 100% remote learning, hybrid learning models, and adaptive in-person instruction from March 2020 throughout the 2020-2021 school year, it is clear that a return to fully in-person learning must be our primary focus for the 2021-2022 school year. In order to ensure that we can continue to provide in-person instruction for the entire school year, it is important that we implement layered mitigation strategies to reduce exposure to and transmission of COVID-19 in our schools and our community.
Delta is Different
The Delta variant circulating is much more transmissible than previous variants. Data shows that Delta is 40 to 60% more contagious than the original strain. Data out of the United Kingdom shows that adults under 50 and children are 2.5 times more likely to be infected with Delta. Data out of Scotland shows that the risk of hospitalization for unvaccinated adults is twice as high under Delta. Cases in NH and hospitalizations are significantly higher now than they were at this time last year. The viral load under Delta is significantly higher. The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated people. In 5 of the 9 ConVal towns, the vaccination rate of those 15 years of age and over is lower than 60%. One town is lower than 50%. Although the vast majority of our staff are vaccinated, none of our elementary students have that option and only half of our middle school students have access to the vaccine. Statewide, less than 40% of those 12-19 years old are fully vaccinated. The more action taken now to limit the spread of COVID-19 will reduce the likelihood of additional variants that may be more transmissible or that current vaccines may be less effective against.
Masks
The use and effectiveness of masks have been a polarizing issue since the original emergence of COVID-19. However, the consensus of the medical and scientific community is clear, absent a widespread vaccination rate at or above 80 percent, the use of masks is our next best mitigation strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19, hospitalization, and deaths. With the emergence of the Delta variant, the use of masks is even more important now than it was last school year. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, recommends universal indoor masking for all K-12 students, teachers, and staff. The American Academy of Pediatrics endorses this recommendation. In January 2021, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published “An evidence review of face masks against COVID-19.” This is a comprehensive review of the evidence available on masking. The conclusion reached was clear, “nonmedical masks have been effective in reducing transmission of respiratory viruses; and places and time periods where mask usage is required or widespread have shown substantially lower community transmission.” As of the publication of this statement, children under 12 are not eligible for any of the COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, half of our middle schools and all of our elementary schools have one less layer of mitigation available to them.
The use of masks helps add an additional layer of protection for those who cannot be vaccinated such as our students younger than 12 and those with compromised immune systems (cancer survivors, transplant recipients, type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics, asthmatics) for whom the vaccines are less effective, and are therefore more susceptible to hospitalization or death from COVID-19. All of these individuals are represented in our students and staff. The use of masks also reduces the viral load that an individual is exposed to, which also has a great impact on the symptoms experienced with COVID and the impact on our local healthcare system in treating those symptoms.
Arguments have also been presented that the requirement to wear a mask infringes on personal freedom. As a society, we have rules regarding which side of the road to drive on. There are speed limits. There are penalties for driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. These are reasonable policies required for society and the protection of others in our communities that cannot be vaccinated or for whom the vaccines may be less effective. Article 3 of the New Hampshire Constitution endorses this approach to civil society entirely: “When men enter into a state of society, they surrender up some of their natural rights to that society, in order to ensure the protection of others; and, without such an equivalent, the surrender is void.” This aligns with one of the components of the ConVal Mission Statement to, “give of oneself to the greater community.”
Community Transmission Rate
This summer, due to the low transmission rate of the virus in our area, we were able to relax our masking guidelines, and all anticipated returning to school with a more normalized learning environment. We expected that we would be able to open the schools in the “blue phase.” Unfortunately, we are now facing a surge that is aimed at a much younger unvaccinated population due to the characteristics of the Delta variant. The community transmission rate in the Greater Monadnock Public Health Region is now above 200 per 100,000 (08/23/2021) and the positivity rate is 4.7%. Some residents point out that there are very few confirmed cases in the immediate ConVal communities. Due to the suppressed nature of the data in the ConVal towns, we can only estimate the transmission rate per 100,000. That rate could be anywhere from as low as 71 to as high as 163. As we are all aware, ConVal does not exist in a bubble. Many of our staff members live outside our District and many of the parents of our students travel outside of our communities for employment. In addition, the ConVal region is a tourist destination - especially during the summer and fall months. Data emerging out of Florida and other Southern states is showing thousands of pediatric cases resulting in school districts having to quarantine thousands of children. In Mississippi, 20,000 students have been placed in quarantine after only one week of school. According to the latest CDC data, the groups with the largest increases in coronavirus hospitalizations are patients in their 30s and those younger than 18. This latter group represents our students.
Vaccination
Thanks to massive vaccination efforts, smallpox was eradicated worldwide by 1980. Polio has been eradicated in the United States since 1979. In 2000, measles was declared eliminated in the United States. Unfortunately, due to anti-vaccination campaigns based on since-debunked and fraudulent publications, measles is once again occurring in low-vaccinated populations in the United States. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. The same is true for the vaccinations that target COVID-19. Overall, more than 200 million Americans are at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19. Globally, 4.5 billion doses have been administered. The three vaccines available in the United States have undergone and continue to undergo intense, unprecedented scrutiny. The Pfizer vaccine recently received full approval by the FDA. Although there have been very rare instances of short-term side-effects of the vaccines, the risk versus benefit analysis is overwhelmingly in favor of near-universal vaccination of those 12 years of age and older. Unfortunately, no vaccine is yet available for our students under 12. That means that other mitigation measures, including the use of masks, remain paramount to reduce exposure to, infection of, and transmission of COVID-19. The Board has already indicated that a high enough vaccination rate (80%) in any individual building will likely lead to a relaxing of masking policies in line with recommendations from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. Our high school is approaching the 80% vaccination rate, and the District is working to develop a process to verify the status of staff and students. The vaccination rate of those 15 years of age and older in the communities of ConVal is an estimated 62%. The individual towns range from a low of 48% to a high of 77%. Statewide, the vaccination rate of those 12-19 years of age is less than 40%.

The Board would like to acknowledge the members of our community that have taken the time to provide public comments at our recent Board meetings. We recognize that this requires you to take time out of your day to prepare your remarks and attend the meetings. In addition, for many people addressing the Board in such a public setting may be stepping outside of their comfort zone, and we want to acknowledge that as well. Thank you all for taking the time to attend the Board meetings and for providing public comments.
New Englanders are used to unprecedented access to local government. The Town Meeting form of government is a truly unique experience and represents direct democracy in action. Town Meeting and the District’s Deliberative Session are true public meetings. Board Meetings are, instead, meetings that take place in public. When combined with the back and forth exchanges that occur on social media, the 24/7 news cycle, and the instantaneous nature of our economy (Amazon, Door Dash, video streaming services, etc.) it is understandable that people are frustrated when attending School Board meetings and giving public comment only to see little reaction from Board members, receive no feedback after their statements, or not receive answers to questions asked to the Board. It is important that the members of the public know that we are listening to you. We hear what you say when you speak during public comments. We read all of the emails that you send us. There are times when we may want want to respond, but for many reasons, that is not the way these meetings are structured. It is also likely that even when discussing a topic you may have spoken about, we will not always directly address something you may have said.
Board Meetings are not Town Meeting. Board Meetings are for the Board to conduct the business of the District. Public comment periods at Board meetings are entirely optional and at the discretion of the Board. However, the Board firmly believes that our community members should have an opportunity to address the Board and so our policy promotes having two public comment periods at each meeting, whenever possible. In order to allow as much participation as possible, we limit each speaker to 2 minutes and once per meeting. We also ask speakers to address the Board on matters specific to the District and School Board business. Community members should always feel free to email or call members to talk about their concerns as well. Depending on the issue, it is also important to reach out to the principals and administrators and not just the Board.
The Board also recognizes that the public is interested in a more interactive experience. To this end, the Board has decided to hold quarterly public forums where Board members or members of the administration will answer questions submitted ahead of time as well as field questions from the live audience in attendance. The Board has not done something like this before, but we hope that it will provide our community members an opportunity for more interactive discussions and communication with the Board. More information on these community forums will be posted shortly.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, Great Brook and South Meadow Middle Schools paused the instrumental and choral programs. Music teachers taught general music, including music history, theory and technology, but students were unable to participate in performing groups.
This school year, students will have the opportunity to participate in the instrumental, choral or general music programs as a part of the United Arts Rotation, which allows students to experience several disciplines. The district plans to alter the regular class schedule so that students have music classes five days a week.
Students in these classes develop the skills needed for successful careers in music, including teamwork, focus, confidence, discipline and active listening. According to the National Association of Music Educators, students with three or more years of instrumental music training show enhanced auditory discrimination, fine motor, vocabulary and nonverbal reasoning skills.
"Most musicians develop their love for performing and the arts before they get to high school. We are hoping to make up for time lost due to the pandemic by offering increased opportunities for students to get involved in music," said Superintendent Rizzo Saunders. "Our students have so much potential and we want them to explore it while learning the skills needed to graduate to higher-level music classes. Studying music helps students develop skills that are crucial for many different types of classes and subjects.”
To ensure the safety of students and staff, the district will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the International Coalition of Performing Arts and the state. When indoors, band and chorus students will be required to maintain a social distance of three feet, wear a mask and use instrument bell covers to limit the spread of airborne particles. The district will utilize outdoor spaces to practice whenever possible.
"During middle school, students want to try new things, find friends with similar interests and feel successful. Music allows them to do this," said Music Teacher Patrick Cogan. "I am so excited to have my ensembles running again. I cannot wait to make connections with my students and share with them what I have loved doing for so many years."

Dear ConVal Community,
Since March of 2020, when the ConVal Board first enacted new protocols to address the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been fortunate in the nine towns that make up the School District to have consistently low or no cases of COVID-19 for extended periods of time. As a result of our efforts, there have been no confirmed cases of transmission within our schools. We know that this is a result of the commitment of our students’, staff’s, and communities’ commitment and vigilance to COVID-19 mitigation strategies. Thank you for your help in keeping our communities healthy through your careful attention to prevention practices. However, with the emergence and spread of the Delta variant, the Board wants to make sure our community is familiar with the roles and responsibilities of the administration, the COVID-19 monitoring team, and the Board, as they relate to responding to this pandemic.
COVID Monitoring Team
The district’s COVID-19 Monitoring Team assesses conditions for school operation daily. The team reviews town-by-town and regional data on the number of active cases, vaccination rates, test positivity rates, trends, etc. The Team, which includes several medical professionals, also reviews published scientific studies and reports that are released related to COVID-19. The Team also reviews recommendations and guidance issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS), the New Hampshire Department of Education (NH DOE), and the Governor. Based on this information, and after significant discussion among members of the Team, a recommendation will be made to the Administration. This recommendation could be a relatively minor suggestion on a revision to a mitigation strategy or a more significant recommendation such as moving from a blue status (low mitigation) to green (moderate mitigation), or green to yellow (significant mitigation), etc. These levels are further described in the District’s Reopening Plan. The recommendation might also be to make no changes despite other Districts in our region relaxing or adding protocols. All recommendations provided by the Team contain the citations and reasoning used to arrive at their informed opinion.
Administration
The Administration reviews recommendations proposed by the Team. Significant shifts in operating conditions, e.g. those that would warrant a transition from the blue to the green, or green to the yellow level, will be presented to the Board for a decision. The Administration has the authority to implement minor revisions to mitigation protocols and take actions on an emergency basis. Notification of any changes to protocols will be provided to the Board.
School Board
The School Board holds the ultimate authority and responsibility to make all final decisions relative to the implementation of responses and policies related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, unless superseded by state or federal requirements. The School Board is also responsible for balancing our policies related to the response to the pandemic with the educational needs of students, their social and emotional well-being, the availability and impact on staff, our financial resources, and other factors. COVID-19 is an important factor considered by the Board, but not the only factor. Any recommendation brought to the Board will be discussed at a regular or emergency meeting of the Board. The Board will debate the recommendation and then vote on what action is to be taken. The administration will implement the decision reached by the Board.
The closer we follow the public health protocols the more likely that we will be able to continue to have in-person learning that is as “normal” as possible for the students in the ConVal School District. In order to maintain in-person learning, continue to have low COVID-19 numbers in our towns, and keep our communities safe, it is imperative that we remain vigilant by getting vaccinated if you are able to do so, washing our hands regularly, wearing masks when directed to do so, remaining home when symptomatic, getting tested when experiencing symptoms or exposed to known cases, and following public health guidance.
The ConVal School Board remains committed to the students, staff, and communities of the ConVal District during this ongoing pandemic.
Sincerely,
ConVal School Board

ConVal has contracted with Revision Energy to install a 247-kilowatt rooftop solar array on the high school roof. The 555-panel system will be financed at no cost to the district by Revision Energy’s mission-aligned impact investors through a Power Purchase Agreement.
Revision will take the responsibility for the design, permitting, construction utility interconnection, operation, and maintenance of the solar array. ConVal will, in turn, purchase energy produced by the panels from Revision at a discounted rate of 8.8 cents per kilowatt-hour in the first year of the contract. The rate will increase by 2 percent yearly. The district currently pays 16 cents per kilowatt-hour for electricity.
Under the agreement, the district has the option after year five — and each year thereafter — to purchase the panels from Revision for the market rate at the time of purchase. If the district does not purchase the array, the panels will remain atop the high school for 25 years and will be removed at no cost to the district. If the district purchases the panels, it would no longer pay for the energy generated by the array.
“This is a great opportunity to have a significant clean energy source powering the high school well into the future,” Superintendent Saunders said. “This program gives the district significant flexibility in how it approaches its energy needs, and we’re excited about finding a cost-effective way to decrease our impact on the environment.”
While the panels will not fulfill 100% of the high school’s electricity needs, they are expected to result in some cost savings on energy. If the district purchases the array, it may save an estimated $825,000 on energy costs over 25 years, and an estimated $2 million over the array’s 40-year lifespan.

There were over 200 educators, presenters, and exhibitors/sponsors in attendance, including Region 14 ATC Director Jennifer Kiley and Conval Principal Heather McKillop. In the spirit of "moving forward together," the series had breakout sessions, presentations, support for CTE professionals, career cluster PLCs, and problem-of-practice breakouts.
Sarah Grossi and Abraham Ewing co-presented on the topic of "Differentiation for CTE classrooms." The session was filled to capacity.
Principal McKillop noted afterward that "Sarah Grossi and Abraham Ewing did a wonderful job presenting on how to differentiate in CTE classrooms."
"They used their respective content areas and instructional practices to demonstrate ways to differentiate to help meet all students' needs and to increase student engagement. They brought many student projects to share and did a phenomenal job of showing how different CTE areas could infuse similar projects in various areas."
"I was very proud of Sarah and Abraham and the passion that shined through for finding ways to help all students find a pathway forward," McKillop concluded.

"The physical science teachers thought that exploding sodium in water on the first day of class would be a good 'hook' to get the students excited about class," said Brock Lambert who set up the experiment.
The first part of the course explores the basics of chemistry and chemical reactions. The sodium and water demonstration allowed for the introduction of these chemistry principles, such as the law of conservation of mass, reactants versus products, as well as endothermic and exothermic reactions.
The students learned that all atoms involved in the reaction were neither created nor destroyed, and energy was released in the form of heat and light.

Dr. Forrest began working in the District in 2008 as a literacy coach. She was named principal of the Antrim Elementary School and Pierce School in Bennington in 2013, and named Assistant Superintendent in 2016.
She has demonstrated exceptional leadership, provided a clear vision in meeting strategic plans, and solves problems with an eye toward clarity and detail. She has ensured a positive workplace culture. Her commitment to excellence in professional development has raised standards in all District schools.
“I’m incredibly honored to have been selected for the Outstanding Service Award this year,” Dr. Forrest said. “I work with a terrific ConVal team, and we supported one another during an extremely challenging school year. I am thankful for their support and share this honor with them.”
“Dr. Forrest treats every student and staff member with dignity and respect, exemplifying a positive climate and creating an atmosphere that encourages others to do the same. Dr. Forrest works proactively to anticipate problems, faces problems head-on when they arise, and works collaboratively to resolve,” Dr. Rizzo Saunders said. “She is dedicated to the ConVal community. Her achievements are beyond ‘outstanding;’ they are exceptional.”

According to Assistant Superintendent Dr. Ann Forrest, who is in charge of curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the district, up to 40 percent of students could benefit from the learning recovery plan. The program was devised following a review of local and nationwide assessment data, starting last fall.
“A review of fall assessment data nationwide revealed that students, on average, were about one and a half months behind where they would typically be in reading and about three months behind in where they would typically be in math as a result of the ‘shutdown’ last spring,” Dr. Forrest noted. Since then, cumulative learning loss and widening gaps in performance have become key concerns.
The learning recovery program will follow a two-pronged approach to address both immediate and near-term student needs. The recovery portion, scheduled for this summer with a start date of July 6, is designed to mitigate learning losses by concentrating on core competencies, essential content and skills. To make the summer recovery program accessible to all families, bussing is included in the plan.
The learning acceleration portion will begin in the fall and aims to have students meet grade-level expectations through high-intensity tutoring sessions, held both during and outside of the school day. The goal is to close the gap between students who have experienced learning difficulties and their peers. In addition to specific restorative learning opportunities, the program will also address social and emotional learning components.
“All costs associated with the key recommendations of the learning recovery plan will be covered using federal grant monies,” Dr. Forrest.

School Board Chair Tim Theberge thanked everyone for the extraordinary efforts everyone had undertaken during the past 15 months as the District switched from distance learning in the spring to learning indoors and outdoors in the fall, negotiating new technologies and teaching both in person and via remote connections simultaneously.
Special gratitude was expressed to the COVID-19 monitoring team who received a standing ovation. The team is a volunteer task force made up of local medical doctors, school staff, hospital personnel, county administration, and local public health officers. Throughout the past school year, the members had met daily for an hour in the morning to review the latest public health data and to advise the district on how to adapt to the constantly evolving circumstances of the pandemic.
Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders summed up the year with these words: "To say this was a difficult year would be an understatement. So, I will forgo the clichés of 'it always seems impossible until it is done' or 'what does not kill us makes us stronger,' because frankly, after this year, we are beyond the comfort that a quote or sage wisdom can bring."
"When we first began this journey 18 months ago, I watched teachers and staff members and heard them doubt themselves," Dr. Rizzo Saunders continued. "They asked questions about their own skills, their own abilities. 'Am I able to engage students this way? Am I capable of using technology this way? Am I able to muster the fortitude to do this well?' ... The answer was: Yes, you are."
"I feel privileged that I was able to bear witness to what you have accomplished, as individuals and as a collective. The kindness you showed, the fortitude you modeled, the unyielding spirit that you demonstrated, and the unrelenting commitment you showed .. not only for yourself, but for our District."
"Your actions, in the face of what appeared to be insurmountable challenge after insurmountable challenge, were simple, powerful, and perfect," Dr. Rizzo Saunders concluded.

The turtles had hatched last fall and were raised over the winter with four of their siblings by John Benjamin, teacher naturalist at the Harris Center for Conservation Education. As the six turtles grew, they needed more space, so "Toothless" and "Jerry" came to ConVal.
The students constructed a habitat for them out of a kiddie pool, rocks, silk plants, and a UV light. Every day, they fed them mealworms, sardines, and live minnows.
By mid-June the turtles had grown large enough to be released back into the wild. Together with John Benjamin, the students, class aides, and Principal Heather McKillop set out to find suitable release spaces in the greater ConVal environment.
Now Toothless, Jerry, and their siblings are fulfilling their role as top predators in the ConVal wetland and helping to keep this ecosystem healthy for the many other wildlife species that rely on it.

"The capabilities of these VR headsets have come a long way in recent years," said Schaub. "Just a few years ago, units were quite expensive, required external tracking cameras to define the VR space, and had to be hardwired to a computer. The latest units are much more capable than their predecessor models, have outward-facing tracking cameras built-in, are completely self-contained and very intuitive to use."
Mathematics teacher Lance Flamino, Social Studies teacher Greg Leonard, librarians Rachael Bowman and Ashley Jones, and technology integrator Helfried Zrzavy took turns exploring the demo units by going through the setup procedure and trying out the handheld controls in a variety of simulations.
The Oculus Quest 2 is already prepared to connect to a well-developed ecosystem of immersive educational applications in areas as diverse as:
There is even an app — Virtual Speech — that is designed to help students overcome public speaking hesitancy and improve their verbal communication skills through practice in realistic VR scenarios. Training rooms include public speaking, sales pitches, networking, business storytelling, and more.
Over the next several months, this new technology will be vetted more thoroughly to explore how VR could fit into existing strategies for engaging instruction, what use modalities will have to be developed, what evidence would need to be gathered to drive student outcomes, and what technical and pedagogical supports would be required to integrate VR successfully into student learning.

Students competed against area schools in four subjects:
Team members also researched and presented to a panel of judges on climate and water-related issues impacting the ConVal region.
Despite not meeting for a full year due to COVID-19, the team still managed to be a formidable opponent. Practices ramped back up in March of 2021, and the team persistently worked to learn and grow over the course of two months.
Team coach and Earth Science teacher Andria Johnson was particularly impressed with the team’s progress in such a short time. “I am so proud of the accomplishments of this team," said Johnson. "I am a new coach and this is essentially a new team, and to have come so far so fast is just amazing. 2nd place overall is fantastic, and I cannot wait to see what this team can do next season!”
This was the 29th consecutive year that ConVal has participated in the Envirothon competition. The Envirothon team is always looking for new members, and team meetings will begin again next September. Contact Andria Johnson (ajohnson@conval.edu) to learn more and join the team.

Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by comedian and virtuoso banjo-player Steve Martin in cooperation with singer-songwriter Edie Brickell, "Bright Star" tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 1940s.
When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from the war, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past — and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion.

While the prom theme was "Tropical Night," the weather was thankfully not as hot as earlier in the week and made for a great evening.
With the sun sinking low on the horizon, there were yard games to play, such as cornhole, ladder ball, a giant jenga game, and a life-sized connect 4. Students enjoyed a photo booth and dancing to the live music performed by the band Northern Stone, featuring our own Mr. Lambert and Mr. Wozmak. There were appetizers catered by Cynthia Ingraham and cold treats from the Kona ice cream truck.
The evening concluded with a giant bonfire, followed by a spectacular fireworks display provided by Atlas Fireworks.
Thank you to all who made this special event possible!

During Spirit Week, SMS was able to hold their first Pep Rally in over a year! All in person staff and students were able to gather together outside to celebrate SMS. Mr. Silegy and Mrs. O'Bryant got the school energized with cheers and dances. This Pep Rally was even more special as this was Mrs. O'Bryant's last one at SMS as she is retiring. In honor of this, the students made cards and presented to her. The student council also presented her with flowers and balloons. All will miss her dearly.

This year, Senior Breakfast coincided with the distribution of the 2021 ConVal Yearbook. Students sat around tables going through the pages, shared memories about when certain photos had been taken, discussed the "Superlatives," and signed each other's yearbooks.
Congratulations, seniors, only a few more days until graduation!

The second meeting was devoted to finishing the "synthesis" portions of the song in between the various verses.
"Antje was great to work with," said Frau Concannon. "The students really enjoyed the process of seeing their words and ideas become a song!" In keeping with the unit that the class is covering at the moment, the song was titled "Food is everything - Food for thought."

Essen ist alles (Denkanstoss) (Food is everything - Food for thought)
Erdbeeren sind rot wie ein Feuerwehrauto.
Brot ist warm wie der Sommer
Eis ist kalt wie ein Frühlingstag,
Eis ist kalt wie der Winter.
Obst ist nett und lecker wie ein warmer Sonnenschein
Das Essen macht glücklich
Ich könnte den ganzen Tag essen
Dann würde ich glücklich sein
Ich esse Fisch, denn er ist sehr gut.
Ich esse Brot, ich mag es sehr.
Ich esse Kuchen, denn er ist sehr süß.
Ich esse Eier, die mag ich mehr.
Ich mag gern Obst, denn es ist sehr gesund
Ich trinke Cola, denn sie ist lecker.
Das leben ist süß, aber das Essen ist süßer
Jeder hat ein Lieblingsessen
Und wir lassen es uns schmecken
Ich esse Eiscreme und denke an Eisdielen.
Eis ist eine Wüste
Eis ist etwas was ich immer nach dem Abendessen essen würde.
Ich esse Steak und denke an meinen Vater beim Grillen
Ich esse Pizza und denke an jeden Freitag.
Ich esse Eis denn ich bin am Leben,
ich liebe Essen und Leben
wir verbinden das Essen mit Orten
Born in Heidelberg, Germany, Antje Duvekot is a writer, singer, and guitarist based in Somerville, Massachusetts. She holds three top songwriting awards, including the Kerrville New Folk Competition’s Best New Folk Award, Boston Music Award for Outstanding Folk Act, and Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
The activity was sponsored by the The Goethe Institut of Boston which serves as the German Culture Center for New England. Its mission is to engage in the fields of cultural education related to German-speaking countries.

Last spring, a Department survey of remote instruction and the return to school generated more than 56,000 responses, helping to shape the state’s K-12 Back to School Guidance.
“The survey we conducted last year at this time generated a tremendous amount of valuable information, helping shape our return to school across the state,” said Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut. “The 603 Bright Futures Survey will provide valuable feedback – what worked and what did not work – and provide valuable information for schools that are already crafting plans for fall instructional programs.”
The survey includes an opportunity for anyone interested – parent, educator or community member – to provide feedback. The Department will open survey on June 1, 2021 and it will remain available through June 30, 2021 to allow everyone the opportunity to respond. Parents responding for more than one child should complete the survey once for each student. Once the survey closes, the results will be made available through the Department’s website.
The links to the survey can be found below.
*Please note that "Community Members" are those who do not have students enrolled in New Hampshire public schools. Those who do should complete the family surveys instead.

Keegan Harris and Maddie Rugg were both selected for this honor and their films will be displayed online on the NH High School Short Film Festival's YouTube channel. The festival is online only this year due to COVID-19.
"The two student films accepted this semester are worthy of this honor. Both of these students are celebrating their senior year and they worked very hard on their short films," said Lance Levesque, ConVal digital photo and video teacher. "Their hard work has paid dividends in solid achievements."
Keegan Harris: "Southern NH Skatepark Review"
Harris' film, "Southern NH Skatepark Review," takes the viewer through Harris' thoughts on multiple skateparks across New Hampshire, including Antrim Skate Park, Peterborough Skate Park and the Francestown Skate Park. He describes what he likes about each park and the details of the park itself, switching between a webcam-style shot describing the park and action shots of him skating at each location.
"I am most excited about the fact that many people will have the chance to view my film and in many ways I feel that this is a good payoff for the amount of work it took to make this short film," Harris said. "I have enjoyed making films since childhood and this award was a great way to wrap up my senior year of high school."
"I think what I enjoy about film is how one is able to separate from reality and one can fully immerse themselves into a story," Harris said. "My favorite part of making films is seeing the final project come to life."
Maddie Rugg: "Truth"
Rugg's film, "Truth," looks at social media's influence on body image and how young women perceive themselves when they see "perfect" bodies on social media apps such as Instagram. She uses a voiceover of a young woman viewing herself in the mirror, talking about how bodies should be perceived more as paintings and compares them to each other.
"I feel very proud and exhilarated to have my short film accepted into the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival this year. It is my hope that others will feel empowered as I did and find some clarity in its message." Rugg said. "The message of body image is a very important and relatable topic that is not talked about enough especially with young women; the goal of this film is to get people to start talking."
"I enjoy creating a story with film, creating a mood, a feeling," Rugg said. "Film is becoming the way we communicate to each other; how we connect with people halfway across the world. It has become a very powerful medium."
The entire festival collection, including Rugg's and Harris' films, can be accessed here.

Good Morning ConVal Community,
In the course of the last 24 hours we have become aware of 2 separate and distinct cases (students in different pods) of COVID-19 at Great Brook School.
Due to the nature of these cases the contact tracing has been quite extensive. We are in active conversations with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS). Additionally, one of the cases involves another agency who NH DHHS will be reaching out to. NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 3 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person.
Anytime a student or staff member is potentially exposed they receive a phone call from the appropriate building administrator. These calls have been made. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model. However, based on contact tracing a number of students have been asked to quarantine and are presently attending school remotely.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. Should your student show symptoms or test positive for COVID 19 it is important that you reach out and let your student’s school know, we can not begin contact tracing without confirmation of a positive case from a parent/ guardian or from NH DHHS.
To ensure your health and safety. and to be sure that we are able to finish the year in our present instructional model, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

The class worked with the singer-songwriter over Zoom during their first meeting on June 2.
Born in Heidelberg, Germany, Duvekot is a writer, vocalist, and guitarist based in Somerville, Massachusetts. She holds three top songwriting awards, including the Kerrville New Folk Competition's Best New Folk Award, Boston Music Award for Outstanding Folk Act, and Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
The students worked in groups to create lyrics for a song about food, their current unit in German 2. They come up with some expressive metaphors such as "Erdbeeren sind rot wie ein Feuerwehrauto" ("Strawberries are the color of fire trucks") and "Eis ist wie ein Regentag" ("Ice cream is like a rainy day") which Duvekot complimented as imaginative and original. Principal Heather McKillop visited the class to engage with students as they worked on creating lyrics in a foreign language.
Three verses of the new song were nearly complete at the end of their first meeting. The second session on June 8 will finalize the song that Duvekot will record in her studio.
The activity was sponsored by the The Goethe Institut of Boston which serves as the German Culture Center for New England. Its mission is to engage in the fields of cultural education related to German-speaking countries.

Upward Bound is a federally funded college preparatory program for low-income and first-generation college students that provides access to summer programming, tutoring, and academic counseling.
Upward Bound provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for students to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits.
The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.

During the summer of 2020, the District rented large tents from Monadnock Tent & Event to support in-person learning upon the reopening of school on Sept. 8. The District later became aware that the rented tents larger than 400 square feet would not meet the State of New Hampshire’s permitting requirements.
As a result, students at the Great Brook and South Meadow Schools as well as ConVal Regional High School, who were scheduled to attend classes in-person, were required to begin the school year under a remote learning model.
The lawsuit alleged that the permitting challenges were created by the vendor’s inability to provide the necessary data, certificates, and other documentation, per the contract and the representations made by the vendor. The vendor denied liability and brought a countersuit.
Under terms of the settlement:
As part of the settlement, John Hopkins, owner of Monadnock Tent & Event, issues the following statement:
“Last summer when I took a contract to lease event tents to the Contoocook Valley Regional School District, I was grateful for the opportunity to provide assistance to my community during these trying times. I am truly and sincerely sorry for the unfortunate events that led to the District not being able to use the tents rented and the loss that the District has sustained. I have been in the tent rental business for twenty-three years. I never expected that my tents would be denied building permits for use by the District. While this was the first time any of my tents have not received permitted approval, that does not undo the harm done to the District. I regret the harm that this situation has caused the District and the other members of my community. I am working with the District to make amends as best I am able and look forward to working with the District again in the future.”

The first of the cleanups took place on Saturday, May 22, on a two-mile section of Highway 202 leading north to Hancock and Antrim.
"It was hard work and we filled every garbage bag we brought," said Class Advisor Jen Kiley.
"Passersby waved, honked their horns, and gave a big thank you to the students. It was awesome to see students doing their part to keep our community clean," added Jim Wickham, the other Advisor to the Class of 2024.
For their commitment to keeping the highway clean, the class is being recognized on the Adopt-A-Highway sign at the jug handle leading to the school entrance.

"I started out designing and prototyping the lemon juice-powered car utilizing some Lego parts," Kriebel said. The overall size and weight of the model had to be considered in relation to the size and weight of its power pack. Even the weight of connecting wires and alligator clips had to be taken into account.
Tire size was important, too, because larger tires would increase weight and inertia in getting the model car rolling while smaller tires might not provide enough grip. In the end, two pairs of differently-sized tires were used.
In addition to keeping the car as light as possible, Kriebel knew that the key to success would be to come up with the right type of battery. The first step in this process was to design a container that would hold the anode (i.e. the negative electrode that undergoes oxidation during the cell discharge), the cathode (i.e. positive electrode consisting of the material that undergoes reduction during the cell discharge), and the electrolyte (i.e. the medium through which ions move from one electrode to the other during the cell discharge).
Next, Kriebel had to research the proper amounts of lemon juice and salt to use in order to achieve the chemical reaction needed to create an electric current strong enough to drive a small electric motor. Using the formula kg·m^2·s^−3·A^−1, the goal was to achieve 1.5 volts of electromotive force. To create battery cells that would be connected in series, Kriebel glued together disposable plastic cuvettes in a 4x6 array.
"I initially used magnesium and copper as electrodes. But this ended up being too harsh of a reaction and produced too much electrical energy in too small of an amount of time." Clearly, a redesign of the battery component was needed. "From magnesium, I switched to zinc, which does not produce as much voltage. For this reason, I had to increase the cell count in my battery." More cells would potentially produce more energy but would also weigh down the car. "With everything lined up, I tested the car. Unfortunately, it did not have enough power to turn the wheels."
After doing some additional research, Kriebel realized that he had the wrong motor, one that did not have the right gear ratio and sufficient torque to overcome the vehicle's inertia and to put it in motion. "After installing a new, more torque-oriented motor, the car finally moved with just lemon juice!"
Dr. Moira Milne, who served as the faculty advisor for this extended learning opportunity (ELO), was impressed with how Kriebel had worked through the various design problems to achieve a positive outcome. "I have presented this challenge to several chemistry students in the past. Ben is the first student to succeed with this project, which requires a solid knowledge of electrochemistry," Milne said.
"Ben displayed the traits necessary for success: tenacity, the ability to think under pressure, and the insight to see the fun of this work. His reward is a true sense of accomplishment. His science and engineering work connects well with the field of electric cars, batteries, and alternative energy resources."
In true engineering fashion, Kriebel is looking towards further improvements to his lemon car design. "The plan, for now, is to completely revamp the electrodes — the copper and zinc pieces — because they end up corroding over time. This reduces the efficiency of the battery. I am hoping to overcome this and make the car move even faster."
After graduating from ConVal High School in June, Kriebel plans to attend Virginia Tech in the fall where he will study engineering.

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at ConVal High School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 3 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person. Staff members and parents/guardians of students who may have been exposed have been notified.
The staff and students of ConVal High School have done a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our reopening plan. At this point, there is no need to change our instructional model and all students will remain in person.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure your health and safety, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

“The Lebanon School Board felt it was important to join with other school districts in the effort to require the State of New Hampshire to adequately fund public education,” Lebanon School Board Chair Richard Millus said. “The current financial model puts an unfair financial burden on local taxpayers and leads to inequities between districts.”
"The Hopkinton School Board is proud to join the school funding lawsuit," said Jim O'Brien, Hopkinton School Board Chair. "Hopkinton taxpayers continue to pay a high price for the state's reluctance to uphold its responsibility to provide adequate funding to support education. The current funding scheme not only harms taxpayers, but also students and families while perpetuating inequities in education."
The ConVal District filed suit against the State of New Hampshire and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut in 2019. The suit maintains that the state does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students. Plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire in March rejected the state’s requests to dismiss the lawsuit and returned it to Superior Court Judge David Ruoff. Ruoff will hold hearings that will allow ConVal and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the state underfunds education. An evidentiary hearing is unlikely to be held until summer 2022.
Judge Ruoff has given New Hampshire school districts until Friday, May 21, to decide whether to join the lawsuit.
Manchester, with more than 12,000 students, and Nashua, with more than 10,000 students, are the two largest school districts in the state.
The number of co-plaintiff districts now has grown to 16. Other co-plaintiffs are Claremont, Derry Co-Operative, Fall Mountain, Grantham, Hillsboro-Deering, Mascenic, Mascoma Valley, Monadnock, Newport, Oyster River, and Winchester. ConVal and the co-plaintiffs are educating almost one-quarter of New Hampshire’s public school students this year.
“The growing momentum toward requiring the state to provide equitable funding sends a message to the State,” ConVal Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “School districts, from the largest to the smallest, recognize the inequities. It’s time for the state to do the same.”

"As a regional school district, Mascoma Valley experiences the injustice of New Hampshire’s educational funding mechanism which pits community against community instead of uniting us in the common goal of education,” said Tim Josephson, Vice Chair of the Mascoma School Board. “The Legislature’s lack of action since the Claremont lawsuits has deepened inequities, allowing the state to continue shirking its constitutionally-mandated responsibility. We join the ConVal lawsuit so Mascoma Valley taxpayers may have recourse against the state for their abdication of educational funding."
The ConVal District filed suit against the State of New Hampshire and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut in 2019. The suit maintains that the state does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students. Plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.

Ruoff will hold hearings that will allow ConVal and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the state underfunds education. An evidentiary hearing is unlikely to be held until summer 2022.
Judge Ruoff has given New Hampshire school districts until Friday, May 22, to decide whether to join the lawsuit.
Mascoma Valley is the 11th district to join the lawsuit. Other co-plaintiff districts are Claremont, Derry, Fall Mountain, Grantham, Hillsboro-Deering, Mascenic, Monadnock, Newport, Oyster River, and Winchester.
“The state and the Legislature are the only entities that can fix this funding issue, and they can fix it today if they choose to do so. By their inaction they are allowing the inequities to continue to grow,” ConVal Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “We thank Mascoma Valley for joining the growing number of voices that demand the state live up to its obligations for all of New Hampshire’s schoolchildren.”

As many of you are aware, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) made significant changes to the recommendations related to the use of facial masks. In line with those recommendations, and after discussion with the COVID 19 Monitoring team, the following changes will be made to the use of masks on ConVal School District property effective immediately.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility as we make adjustments to our procedures related to the global pandemic.
Best,
Kimberly

Dr. Muscott has set aside some time for PES families on Tuesday, May 25th. He is offering 3 virtual sessions (they are all the same) during this day in order to make it convenient for you (10:00AM, 4:30PM, and 7:00PM). This is a great opportunity for you to learn what social emotional learning is and how you can support children and adults in managing strong emotions. Today, maybe more than ever, our children need our support (don't forget, I am a parent too). I am looking forward to this presentation, and hope you can join us.

Congratulations and certificates are going out to the following students:
Gold Award - Jennifer Hopkins
Bronze Award - Ally Larson
Achievement Award - Kai Flynn
Achievement Award - Miles Higgins
Achievement Award - Abbey Shumway
The test results are exceptional for several reasons. "The test writers did not adapt the test at all this year to consider the impact of COVID-19 on instruction. It was the normal exam," Hodgdon noted. "Second, related to the pandemic, circumstances had prevented us from covering the normal German 1 curriculum. But most remarkably, students took part in the exam in a new semester when they did not even have German on their schedule." Given these circumstances, the positive test outcomes take on a special meaning.
The National German Exam is administered each year to over 20,000 high school students of German. The exam is comprised of 100 multiple choice questions divided into two parts with 50 questions each.

“As the third-largest school district in the state, the Derry School Board believes that fighting for funding that accurately reflects the cost of educating our students is critical,” Derry School Board Chair Erika Cohen said. “The state must live up to its responsibility to fund education.”
The ConVal District filed suit against the State of New Hampshire and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut in 2019. The suit maintains that the state does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students. Plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire in March rejected the state’s requests to dismiss the lawsuit and returned it to Superior Court Judge David Ruoff. Ruoff will hold hearings that will allow ConVal and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the state underfunds education. An evidentiary hearing is unlikely to be held until summer 2022.
Derry is the largest school district in the state to join the lawsuit, educating more than 3,000 students. Other co-plaintiff districts are Claremont, Fall Mountain, Grantham, Hillsboro-Deering, Mascenic, Monadnock, Newport, Oyster River, and Winchester.
“We welcome Derry as a co-plaintiff,” ConVal Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “Their support reinforces our position that the state’s failure to provide equitable funding hurts all districts’ students, no matter how large or small the district.”

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at South Meadow School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 3 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person.
The staff and students of SMS have done a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our reopening plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model. Anytime a student or staff member is potentially exposed they receive a phone call from the appropriate building administrator.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure your health and safety, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

"We are thrilled to welcome Tim into his new role as principal.

During the 2017-2018 school year, Conway was also honored with ConVal's Outstanding Teacher Award.
Additionally, Conway is passionate about coaching and served as head coach for high school and college-aged baseball players in Bedford. He was recognized as the youngest coach in the history of American Legion baseball to bring a team to the World Series.
"I am so excited to begin this new role and to be given the opportunity to continue to serve the ConVal School District," said Assistant Principal Conway. "My last few years at SMS have been nothing but rewarding and I am grateful for the opportunity to remain a part of the school community for years to come.

Mental health is a topic that impacts all of us and we want to encourage opportunities to open up a dialog as a school community. Therefore, on Friday, May 7, there will be an alternate schedule in order to allow for time in TASC to view the final installment of the Mental Health Film Trilogy: Angst.
According to the movie's website, "Angst removes the stigma and opens up the conversation around anxiety, helping people understand and manage their symptoms, and when to reach out for help. Most importantly, it shows people that they are not alone, and that anxiety is 100% treatable."
The film is very well done. Angst is 56 minutes long, and the revised schedule allows 16 minutes for follow-up discussion or activities.
Coping with anxiety is an increasingly important aspect of mental health for our teens at ConVal, and students will benefit from the opportunity to view the film and from the willingness of our staff to model a willingness to talk about mental health and wellbeing. To learn more about the film, you can view the website here: indieflix.com/angst. For the YouTube trailer, click here.

Teachers and paraprofessionals have successfully negotiated multiple modes of teaching — virtual, in-person, and a mix of both —, they have weathered outdoor and indoor instruction, and have made or maintained important personal connections with students.
They have provided a sense of stability and a focus on progress in learning despite the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, including varying state mandates, constantly changing schedules, and vigilant support of mitigation strategies to keep everyone safe.
Please join us in celebrating the dedication and professionalism of our educators this coming week by reaching out to your student's teachers and paraprofessionals with a word of appreciation.
Teacher Appreciation Week is an annual event sponsored by the National Parent Teacher Association and many schools, including ConVal High School, join in celebrating teachers with the hashtag #ThankATeacher.

The District will hold an online viewing of “Angst” on Wednesday, May 5, at 6 p.m. The film is designed to raise awareness about anxiety, especially in youths, and help identify resources and ways they can receive support. The film is rated for those ages 10 and older.
The panelists are:
After the film, panelists will discuss the film and how students can apply the lessons learned. Parents and guardians will be able to ask questions.
“Angst” is the third in a trilogy of films the District has shown during the 2020-21 school year. In October, “The Upstanders” discussed resilience, attention, and the power of connection to end bullying and the brain science behind cyber-bullying, bullying among friends, families, and co-workers. In February, “Like” explored the impact of social media on people’s lives, the effects of technology on the brain, and taught viewers how to self-regulate their social media use.

During a short presentation that was on Zoom for the entire school, Principal Syre-Hager honored Chief Lester with an original piece of artwork by Muzart teacher Carole Storro. Mrs. Storro invited all staff and students to contribute to the artwork prior to presenting it, so it truly is a gift from the heart from the entire AES educational community. Chief Lester was also presented with a peace lily as a thank you for keeping the peace in Antrim for the last 13 years. Chief Lester accepted the gift gratefully as cheers from across the school erupted.

ANGST: On top of academic and social stress, the uncertainty and fears of this past pandemic year have brought all of us a lot more anxiety than before. Angst helps break this down, explaining what’s going on, and what we can do about it to help both ourselves and others. It features World Champion Swimmer Michael Phelps, experts in the field, and regular teenagers.

All participants received yellow T-shirts, there was a great raffle thanks to donations from local businesses, and there was a bake sale with delicious treats.
"I am so proud of Callie and Abbey for taking the initiative to plan the Break the Silence 5K for suicide awareness and prevention," said principal Heather McKillop. "It is imperative that we create a safe space for students to engage in dialogue about mental health. I was fortunate to talk to students and families prior to the run, and was so impressed by all of the efforts many of our students did in advance to make this event such a success."
Guest speaker Robbie Millward spoke about his own experience with suicide and friends and family who have experienced it as well.
Students made and hung motivational posters to encourage participants along the 3.1-mile running route (see photos below).
"This was a well-executed event and a great opportunity to come together as a community," said mathematics teacher Sarah Gilpatrick who participated in the event.
Callie Boisvert shared that the donations for suicide awareness and prevention amounted to close to $5,000. "I hope this is the beginning of a long-lasting tradition in our ConVal community as we continue to make effort to eradicate the stigma associated with mental health for years to come," McKillop said.

All proceeds from the “Break the Silence” run on Saturday, April 24, at ConVal Regional High School will support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. ConVal sophomores Callie Boisvert and Abbey Shumway organized the run.
“This is an important issue. It needs to be talked about,” Boisvert said. “People of all ages need to be able to cope with mental illness and know that it is okay to reach out and get help. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Established in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education, and advocacy. AFSP lists suicide as the eighth leading cause of death in New Hampshire, and the second-leading cause among those aged 10 to 34.
“We want to break the stigma on mental health. Mental illness is serious for all ages,” Shumway said. “As a community we need to raise awareness and ‘break the silence,’ and help people know what to do, how to handle it, and know that people are here for them.”
Boisvert and Shumway have raised almost $1,000 in online donations and invite the community to support the cause by attending on Saturday. Principal Heather McKillop will be among the runners supporting the students and their effort.
Those interested may register from 8-8:30 a.m. for the race that begins at 9 a.m., or register from 11-11:30 a.m. for the race that begins at 12 p.m. A donation of $20 is suggested. Other events include a bake sale, raffle, and a guest speaker who will share their family’s struggle with mental health issues and how they have coped.
“Mental health is a critically important issue in our state and country, one that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “I commend Callie and Abbey for raising awareness and ask the ConVal community to support them in this cause.”

The Fall Mountain, Claremont, Newport and Hillsboro-Deering School Districts join the ConVal, Monadnock, Mascenic and Winchester School Districts in arguing that New Hampshire does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students.
ConVal and its co-plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.
In March the Supreme Court of New Hampshire returned the lawsuit to Superior Court Judge David Ruoff and rejected the state’s requests to dismiss it. Ruoff will hold hearings that will allow ConVal and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the state underfunds education. An evidentiary hearing is unlikely to be held until summer 2022.
Ruoff on Wednesday, April 21, allowed other school districts 30 days to join the ConVal lawsuit.
“For nearly 30 years the State of New Hampshire has ignored the spirit of the original Claremont funding decision. As a result it has shifted its responsibility to local communities, creating funding inequities across the state,” Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders, Superintendent of ConVal School District, said. “We welcome the Fall Mountain, Claremont, Newport and Hillsboro-Deering School Districts, and encourage other districts to join us in ensuring the state meets its constitutional responsibility to the children of New Hampshire.”

Their fishing pole had to have a switch and an electromagnet. To get to this point, students had to determine three variables that they were going to test to create the best fishing pole they could. Students had one swipe over the pile of magnets to see how many they could attract. Pictured here is the winner of the derby with Mrs. O'Bryant.

The first presentation addressed the learning loss that students in all grades experienced as the COVID pandemic showed negative impacts on learning, beginning in the second half of the 2019-2020 school year.
"A review of fall assessment data nationwide revealed that students, on average, were about one and a half months behind where they would typically be in reading and about three months behind in where they would typically be in math as a result of the 'shutdown' last spring," Dr. Forrest noted.
For the slide deck that covers the first portion of the two-part presentation, please click here.
The second presentation addressed the strategies that are required to achieve successful learning recovery across a broad spectrum of focus areas through the 2021-2022 school year and beyond.
These solution-oriented approaches include, among others:
The second presentation contains detailed recommendations for the elementary school, middle school, and high school levels in the ConVal School District. It also lays out what the projected cost factors are that will be associated with the implementation of the learning recovery plan, from professional development opportunities for existing teachers and paraprofessionals to required new staffing.
"All costs associated with the key recommendations of the learning recovery plan will be covered using federal grant monies," Dr. Forrest concluded. "By the same token, any additional positions would be temporary in nature and also be grant funded."

ATC Director Jen Kiley pursued this grant-based project with a funding request in January of this year. She envisioned the different strands of career and technical education (CTE) at ConVal contributing to an assignment with a shared focus, one that would allow students to gain knowledge and skills by engaging with an authentic challenge and working together for an extended period of time.
While students in the automotive program would address the mechanical aspects of building the car from the kit, students enrolled in robotics, computer programming, and networking classes could work to adapt the car’s electronics. In addition, graphic communication students could learn how to design skins for the car, similar to the car wraps made from vinyl films. For business students, there could even be a connection to local businesses if they wanted to advertise on the student-designed car wraps, Kiley explained.
Besides its wide-ranging applicability to different CTE curricular areas, a key benefit of the program is that the kit is reusable, Kiley noted. The car can be put together, taken apart, and reconfigured by different students the next year. The SwitchLab e-car kit is expected to last for at least ten years, which allows several generations of ATC students to acquire sought-after skills in the rapidly expanding area of electric vehicle design and maintenance.
According to its website, the SwitchLab is an all-inclusive, turn-key program with different vehicle options. The kit includes the chassis, AC, DC, or permanent magnet drive system, battery, all required wiring, lights, seats, seat belts, and windscreen. The kit is expected to arrive before the end of the school year, Kiley said, in order to give instructors an opportunity to get familiar with its components before students will work on it in the fall.

For their commitment to remove litter four times a year from a two-mile section of Highway 202 leading north to Hancock and Antrim, the class is being recognized on the Adopt-A-Highway sign at the jug handle leading to the school entrance.
The idea originated with the freshman class advisors Jen Kiley and Jim Wickham. "At the beginning of March, I noticed that the Adopt-A-Highway sign across from ConVal, near the Cornucopia greenhouses, was available," Kiley said. "So I contacted the state highway department to find out more about the program."
"Jim and I spoke with the Class of 2024 officers, and they agreed that this would be a good opportunity to give back to the community and lend visibility to our class," Kiley continued. "We are hoping to schedule our first cleanup for early May."

We will have a meeting next Friday, April 16, from 2:35-4:00 pm in the ConVal Cafeteria for everyone interested in participating.
Please come! All are welcome! Bring friends! Share bit.ly/cvspringshow to link everyone to it easily!
Auditions are NOT required, but if there is a part you'd like to be considered for, you can prepare something to share with the directors at the meeting. Click here for the signup sheet.
Those not "auditioning" will be able to meet with us and say a quick hello, while also playing theatre games and getting to know our awesome theatrical community!
Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing Liz Moore, Director, or Brian Moore, Music Director. We can't wait to get started!

Before the switchover, lunches were brought to the classrooms and eating lunch was flexible during Block 3, whenever there was a natural break in instruction. Now a new, more strictly timed lunch schedule is in place with three 30-minute lunch periods and 20 min spacing in between for cleaning. The new schedule was assigned to individual teachers based on class size, grade level, and subject.
Classes now must eat lunch during their assigned lunch period. Each Block 3 teacher works with their classes to designate half of their students to eat in the cafeteria and half to eat in their classroom. This assignment is the same for every day in a given week. New assignments can be made on the first school day of each week. Students not eating in the cafeteria remain with their Block 3 teacher for lunch.
Students who are getting school lunches pick them up in the cafeteria while observing physical distancing guidelines. Students who are eating in their classrooms return to class as soon as they have picked up their lunch. Those who remain in the caf use the mobile school cafeteria tables with seat limits — three students per round table and two per rectangular table.
Another effect of the changed lunch procedures has been the reopening of previously closed-off spaces. In the picture at the top of this post, teacher-administrator Carol Young checks on students eating lunch in the newly-reopened courtyard between the cafeteria and the ATC hallway.

This was done to give all students the opportunity to attend school and join in-person learning together.
Even with the significantly higher number of students attending in person, the morning check-ins have run smoothly. Students have been exceptionally good in maintaining physical distancing guidelines and wearing masks as they arrive on campus.
Part of the success of the quicker morning procedures is that students and staff members have access to an online service provided by ConvenientMD that asks the screening questions and, based on the answers, issues a clearance for in-person participation for the day.
"The ConvenientMD COVID-19 Assessment and Screening tool has truly helped expedite our arrival process," principal Heather McKillop noted. When students have their clearance on their phones, all that remains is a mandatory temperature check at the door which speeds up the arrival procedure for each student and reduces wait time in line.
"We are hopeful that, by the end next week, the majority of our students will use this platform," McKillop said.

The scholarship will be awarded for "employment, extra-curricular activities, including sports, student groups, and community service, and academic performance," according to the Board of Realtors.
Here is how the contest works: To get into the raffle, all you need to do is buy a calendar for $10. Every day in April, a random drawing will be held to determine the daily prize winner. Prizes are listed in the calendar below.
All prizes have been donated by local businesses, artists, farms, and individuals. By entering, you are eligible to win:
and more.
All calendar sales are applied directly to the scholarship. There are no restrictions on the number of calendars you can buy. All calendars will be numbered to correspond to the purchasing individual.
On each day of the drawing, a Google random number generator will be utilized to draw the daily winner. All numbers are re-entered into the drawing, so there are multiple chances to win.
Winners will be notified via phone or email. Gift cards can be mailed. Local pickup is required of larger items and will be arranged with the winners.
For any additional details, please contact Karen Niemela at karen.niemela@beangroup.com.

We are so excited to welcome all of our high school students back on Monday! There have been many questions about the unusual bus schedules so I thought it would be helpful to share some information.
In a routine school year, we are able to use all of our buses to provide transportation and the middle and high school students travel together by community. Our COVID safety protocols have required us to separate students by pods and buildings and we have been using 80% of our buses to transport middle school students leaving 20% to transport high school by cohort.
On Monday, all of our high school students who wish to return for in-person learning will have the opportunity to do so, but we still have the same number of buses available to service these students across our nine communities. We still must separate our middle and high school students for transportation. We modified our typical late bus routes in order to meet the demand.
These new routes are included with this email and will also be available on our website this evening. Please check them carefully to find the stop closest to your home as there have been some adjustments. Please see CV ROUTES- LATE BUS STYLE- plan b.pdf.
Thank you,
Lori Schmidt, Business Administrator

Some of my teachers have had two legs while others have had four or even eight. But all have taught me something important about how to be a good creature in the world.” This is how local author Sy Montgomery starts her book How to Be A Good Creature, a children’s book that can teach us all many lessons including how to be patient, respectful and to show courage. We used this book as a guide during kindness week before vacation.
All students listened to the story and thought about an animal that they have connected with or reflected on how they are good creatures in the world. Every child created a watercolor page about their reflection. These pages were turned into a beautiful book with the help of Jeannie Connolly of the Arts Integration program. The book was then hand-delivered to Sy Montgomery and her dog Thurber in Hancock. She was so touched that she took time to answer questions from students through Zoom this week. This integrated project was a wonderful way for students to think about who their teachers might be and what they might be able to teach others. Kindness and Courage are certainly a few examples that all Pierce School students can share.

Good Morning ConVal,
I hope everyone has enjoyed the break. This message contains lots of important information regarding our return to school on Monday, March 29th.
Let’s begin by talking about travel quarantines. As I am sure you have heard travel quarantines have been lifted for domestic travel by the State of New Hampshire. This means that all staff and students can return to school on Monday, March 29th. (Families and students who have elected to be remote can continue to do so.) The exception is the Gold Cohort at ConVal High School, there is more information regarding CVHS later in this letter.
Guidance regarding travel has been updated to include the following:
As we return to school please be aware:
ConVal High School
We are actively planning the return of all ConVal High School students. The administration’s goal is to have all high school students, regardless of cohort, back in school on Monday, April 5th. (Families and students who have elected to be remote can continue to do so.) However, there are several final steps that must be taken in regard to transportation, staff, and food service. These steps are the priority upon our staff returning to school on Monday, March 29th. More information will be out to students and parents by Wednesday March 31st. As previously communicated, all students participating in high school sports will be able to do so beginning Monday, March 29th. Prior to the vacation, the gold cohort was in-person. This is why we will welcome back the blue cohort on Monday, March 29th.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Best,
Kimberly

Good Morning ConVal,

“We are heartened by today's ruling by the Supreme Court of New Hampshire on the Districts’ lawsuit regarding state education funding. The Court’s decision to remand the case to Superior Court Judge David Ruoff for review allows the District and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the State of New Hampshire is not providing adequate education funding. In today’s ruling, the Supreme Court rejects both the State’s Motion to Dismiss and the State’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
“In the landmark Claremont decision, the Court ruled that the state is obligated to pay for an adequate education for all children. Nearly 30 years later, that still has not happened.
“Adequate funding, according to the state, does not include transportation costs, funding for school nurses or food services, and only a fraction of facilities operations and maintenance costs -- all of which combine to ensure a quality education for our students. The state determined that in 2019 it cost $3,636 per student to provide an adequate education. By the state’s own formula, our districts all should have received more than $9,900 per student.
“Education costs $18,000 per student on average. No one could reasonably argue that $3,636 per student will provide an adequate education.
“The Legislature, though under court order to repair its funding formula, has not done so. This has shifted responsibility for education funding to the communities, whose residents have had to decide between education funding and rising property taxes. Inequities in taxation and funding now stretch across the state.
“Today’s outcome is a positive one for students of New Hampshire, but it is only one small step toward solving an urgent issue for students throughout the state. This issue has now impacted two generations of New Hampshire children and will continue as long as the state fails to meet its obligations under our state Constitution.
“Our students, and students across the State of New Hampshire, deserve an adequate and equitable education immediately, and we will continue working together to ensure the state upholds its constitutional responsibility to them.”

The recount, which was held this evening at ConVal High School, showed that the proposed operating budget was passed by voters during the March 9 vote. The final count was 1,636 (Yes) to 1,629 (No). The School Board will meet at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 19 to discuss the outcome of the recount and next steps.
The recount was requested by private citizens from the district’s nine towns through a petition submitted to the District clerk in accordance with state law. The School Board was legally bound to perform the recount because a valid petition was submitted. Recounts must be requested by registered voters in the district.
The recount was overseen by the District moderator. Though the School Board served as the Board of recount, members of the school board did not carry out the recount themselves. The recount was completed by volunteers from the nine communities.

“Thank you to the many voters in our District towns who came out to vote on March 9," said Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders in a statement.
"This past year has been a difficult time financially for families across the District. We remain committed to providing the best possible education for our students, whether the District operates under its proposed budget or the default budget," Saunders continued.
"The last year has showcased the dedication and commitment of the entire community to providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for all ConVal students.”
"While Article 1, the proposed budget, failed by four votes," Saunders noted, "all other articles on the warrant passed with majority support, including the one-year contract for our educators."
"Thank you to the School Board members and administrators, who worked so diligently during the budget process so that we can continue to meet the needs of ConVal students," Saunders concluded.

Dear ConVal Families,
We will be offering door-to-door meal service the week of March 22 – 26. Please complete this form by March 10th if you would like to have breakfast and lunch delivered to your home.
Meals for all kids ages 18 and younger are currently subsidized by the Federal Government, so there is no cost to you! This is available to all families within our ConVal communities.
We will resume our current meal service on March 29th. Meals must be reserved in advance. Please complete this form to reserve meals for your remote students.
In-Person Students – The schools will collect the meal information each morning and forward the results to the kitchen. I understand some schools use a Google document to facilitate this process.
Remote Students – We are unable to continue home delivery because our transportation resources will be used to transport the kids between home and school. Meals can be picked up curbside at the school’s front entrance on Monday and Wednesday as follows:
Early Morning Pickup
6:30 – 6:45 CVHS, GBS, and PES
Lunch time Pickup
11:40 – 11:55 FES and TES
12:15 – 12:30 Pierce, DCS, and HES
12:30 – 12:45 GES
Pick up service is not available at AES and SMS
For assistance with weekend meals, contact lcarac@yahoo.com with “Conval End 68” as the subject. End 68 Hours will provide food for two breakfasts, two lunches, and three dinners for each school-aged child in your household.
For access to the SMS Food Pantry, please email Judy Hertzler at jhertzler@conval.edu or send a text to (603) 582-0986 and use “SMS Food Pantry” in the subject line.
Please send questions or concerns to me at lschmidt@conval.edu.

The race format was a skiathlon, where competitors first race in the classic technique, then change their equipment in a transition zone and finish the race using freestyle, or skate, technique. The distance of each leg was about 3.5 kilometers, resulting in a total length of approximately 7 k’s.
Four schools were represented: ConVal, Kingswood, Lebanon, and Hanover. The unique format was selected to model the anticipated style of the State Championship competitions in order to give the skiers some practice in this unique event.
Co-captain Eva Calcutt led the Cougars, maintaining her consistent top performance on the team. She was followed across the finish line by Gwen Inglis, Eme Tyler-Wall, Laura Phillips, and Grace Phillips.
The team will head to Great Glen Trails in Gorham on Wednesday, March 3, for their Divisional Championships.

Eddie Robinson was one of the greatest college football coaches to ever walk the sidelines. He coached at Grambling State University, a historic Black College, from 1941-1997.
During that time, Coach Robinson and his teams collected over 400 victories, placing him third for most victories in college football.
Although the victories are impressive, it was the values that Coach Robinson instilled in his players that made him so special. From day one of starting at Grambling, he preached to his players to say “I am somebody” and “I am here to make a difference."

Lamkin is often referred to as a Griot poet — a poet who’s just as often thought of as a musician or oral storyteller.
When Lamkin performs, he accompanies himself with a West African instrument called a Kora. The Kora is a 21-stringed instrument that sort of looks like a lute and sounds like a harp.
Lamkin is a sort of a modern-day bard, with many words loaded, with pointed satire and wit, offering commentary and critique of contemporary events, culture, and community.
Lamkin’s poems play with the meaning and sounds of words that evolve into compositions that are as much about creating a feeling as anything else.
The following poem by Kurtis Lamkin is called "Jump Mama."
pretty summer day
grammama sittin on her porch
easy
rockin her grandbaby in her wide lap
ol men sittin in their lincoln
tastin and talkin and talkin and tastin

she starts bobbin her head, jackin her arms
tryin to catch the rhythm of the ropes
and when she jumps inside those turning loops
the girls crowd her sing their song
kenny kana paula

Potter was born in Hopkinton, MA, as the son of Sir Charles Henry Frankland, a tax collector for the Port of Boston, and his mother Dinah, a slave in Frankland’s household. He attended school in Massachusetts and then moved to Europe to apprentice with a Scottish magician.
In post-Revolutionary America, an era when successful magicians were exclusively white and mostly European-born, Richard Potter broke the color barrier by becoming both the first American-born and the first black professional stage illusionist.
Potter performed up and down the East Coast and as far south as Alabama. His performances offered a mixture of magic, fire-eating, comedy, and ventriloquism. His act enjoyed a highly successful career that spanned a quarter century.
In 1814, Potter moved to New Hampshire where he purchased about 200 acres in the village of Andover in Merrimack county, near what is now Mt Kearsarge State Forest Park. Potter built a large mansion on his estate. Legend has it that “the Potter Place,” as it was called, served as the inspiration for the design of the New Hampshire state house in Concord which was built in 1819.
Potter is widely considered the first African-American celebrity. If you go to Andover, you can visit the Potter Place Railroad Station and Museum. To this day, there is a portion of the town of Andover that continues to be called "Potter Place."

The blog, convalnews.com, is integrated into the schools and district’s Facebook and Twitter accounts and will automatically broadcast news blog content onto these platforms, connecting directly with the district community.
With a clean, user-friendly and mobile responsive layout, the news blog allows for easy navigation throughout. It can be accessed on computers, cell phones and tablets. Community members can subscribe and be notified by email when new posts are published.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of the district’s news blog,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “This will be an important resource to help us stay connected with our communities and to highlight the incredible work our students, teachers and staff are doing.”
Parents/guardians, students, staff, and community members should still utilize the district’s main website, convalsd.net, to access the District-wide calendar of events, contact information, school committee meeting notices and minutes, important documents and notices, and to view general information about the district and its schools.

Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders wishes to provide the following statement on remarks made by a school employee during a sporting event live stream:
"I am aware of video posted online in which a school district employee made an inappropriate comment while overseeing a live stream of a high school basketball game yesterday evening. The video has since been removed from YouTube.
"Once we learned of the incident, we immediately addressed it with the individual in question and have made it clear that the comment was inappropriate and in direct conflict with our values as a district. Whether or not the remark was intended as a joke is of no consequence here, as this behavior sets a poor example for our students and is entirely unacceptable.
"The individual will be held accountable for their actions in accordance with district policies and procedures. However, because this is a personnel matter no further information can be made available at this time."

Johnson was born in West Virginia. Her intelligence, work ethic, and curiosity with numbers vaulted her through school quickly.
She enrolled in college at age 18 and was mentored by W. W. Schieffelin Clayton, the third African American to earn a Ph.D. degree in mathematics.
Johnson became a teacher and later became known for helping to write
launch trajectories and coordinates for two different missions to the moon, including Apollo 11. She is one of the women depicted in the 2016 movie Hidden Figures.
Sadly, Johnson passed away in February of 2020, but not before
receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, from President Barack Obama.
Johnson's life and legacy live on in the mathematics and science worlds.

John Lewis was the youngest speaker on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the famous 1963 March on Washington. He was chosen to speak in part, because of his work as a student organizer of non-violent protests in Nashville, Tennessee against segregation.
He also participated in the organized march from Selma to Montgomery where he and the other non-violent protesters were attacked by Alabama’s state troopers after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
Later John Lewis became a U.S. Representative from the state of Georgia. Recently he authored a 3 part graphic novel series titled March.
In 2020, a documentary about his life, titled John Lewis: Good Trouble, was released on streaming services.

Her legacy lies in her efforts to overcome obstacles early in life to become the fastest woman in the world.
Rudolph born in Tennessee in 1940 as the twentieth of twenty-two children. As a child, she suffered from pneumonia, scarlet fever, and polio. Her bout with polio left her disabled, requiring her to wear a leg brace from the age of five to twelve. During this time, she underwent intense physical therapy and learned to walk without the brace.
In high school, she excelled at basketball and track. In 1956, at the age of 16, she competed in the 200m and the 4x100m relay at the Melbourne Olympics. She continued to compete in track at Tennessee State University and set a world record for the 200m at the Olympic Trials in 1960.
At the Rome Olympics in 1960, she won gold in the 100m and 200m plus the 4x100m relay, becoming the first American woman to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games.
Rudolph retired from competitions at the age of 22 and became a physical education teacher and coach. She also worked with non-profit organizations to promote sports for American children.
Wilma Rudolph was one of the first role models for black athletes and for female athletes. Her Olympic success gave a tremendous boost to women's track in the United States and her celebrity also caused gender barriers to be broken at previously all-male track and field events, such as the Millrose Games.

We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at ConVal High School. We immediately contacted, worked with, and followed guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to determine if any staff or students were in close contact with the infected individual.
NH DHHS defines close contact with the infected person as being within six feet for a total of ten cumulative minutes or more, beginning two days prior to first illness onset or collection of a positive test, whichever is earlier. When close contact occurs, we contact those individuals or their parent/guardian to instruct them on how to self-quarantine at home.
All students and staff that were identified as close contacts have been notified and are taking the appropriate steps to safeguard themselves, their families, and the larger ConVal community.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.

The grandson of a slave, Percy Julian was born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1899.
In a lifetime of continual striving, Julian succeeded against the prejudices and discrimination of his time to become a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants. He was also a successful industrial research director, a wealthy businessman, and a civil rights advocate.
In his research, Julian isolated simple compounds in natural products, then investigated how those compounds were naturally altered into chemicals essential for life, such as vitamins and hormones.
He then figured out how to create those compounds artificially. When he was still a young man, he became famous for synthesizing the drug physostigmine which is used to treat glaucoma.
His chemical work with soybean protein led to the development of aero-foam, a foam fire extinguisher that was used widely during World War II.
Julian also led research that resulted in the commercial production of steroid hormones, including the cortisone drugs that are used to treat painful conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Altogether, Julian received more than 130 chemical patents.
In 1950, Julian was named Chicago’s Man of the Year, but his home was then bombed and burned. He was widely recognized as a steadfast advocate for human rights. He was active as a fundraiser for the NAACP for their project to sue to enforce civil rights legislation.
In 1973, Dr. Percy Julian become only the second African American to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He continued his research studies until his death in 1975. In 2002, PBS Nova produced a two-hour documentary about his life, called “Forgotten Genius.”

The previous article in this series on District Finances discussed the three options for disposition of the remaining Fund Balance at the end of any given fiscal year:
Article 3 of this series discussed NH Emergency Order 38 which allowed the District to “retain” a portion of the FY19-20 unused funds to meet the unanticipated costs associated with COVID. That was a helpful albeit temporary solution.
This article will discuss proposed Warrant Article 12 – “Fund Balance Retention” which would establish a contingency fund that could be used – indefinitely – to meet the costs of unanticipated expenses that arise during the year.
For a detailed treatment of the topic, including a flowchart, please see this .pdf file.

Today we celebrate jazz singer Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990).
Vaughn started her career at the age of 18 by winning a contest promoted by her friends. She was immediately recognized for her uniquely smooth and rich voice, which helped her to open for Ella Fitzgerald at the famous Apollo.
Vaughn helped to pave the way for many black women singers in jazz during and after her active singing career, for which she was recognized with four Grammys, including the Lifetime Achievement Award. She was given an NEA Jazz Masters Award in 1989.
For more information, visit her Encyclopaedia Britannica biography page or listen to her perform on this YouTube playlist.

Because he was prolific in his inventions, including technologies such as the safety circuit, telegraph, telephone, and phonograph, Woods is sometimes referred to as the Black Edison.
Over his lifetime, he received nearly 60 patents and invented 15 appliances for electric railways. His lasting legacy was a safer public transportation system for many cities in the United States.

It is not counted toward a ranking result (that affects the naming of the state team) because coaches have to submit our ranking to the NHIAA before this race. So instead of a competition, this was to be a fun night celebrating seniors.
The festivities include a dual GS where kids can ski parallel and simultaneously with their friends, seniors dressing in silly costumes, music blaring at the start, and plenty of cheering, posters, and overall support for our seniors at the finish.
This year an underclassman from Hollis Brookline had the idea to create a tunnel for the seniors to ski through at the end of the night. As we all helped to take down the course, the seniors remained at the top while the underclassman created the tunnel with skiers poles.
It was very heartwarming to see the seniors from all the schools ski through the tunnel while their peers and fellow racers from 4 schools (ConVal, Souhegan, Hollis Brookline, and Goffstown). All cheered them on.
Then at the bottom, ConVal was able to give the seniors vinyl posters and flowers to let them know how much we appreciate them and will miss them. It was a wonderful celebration.

We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at ConVal High School. This case is not in any way related to the case we informed you of yesterday.
We immediately contacted, worked with, and followed guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to determine if any staff or students were in close contact with the infected individual. NH DHHS defines close contact with the infected person as being within six feet for a total of ten cumulative minutes or more, beginning two days prior to first illness onset or collection of a positive test, whichever is earlier. When close contact occurs, we contact those individuals or their parent/guardian to instruct them on how to self-quarantine at home.
Thanks to the vigilance of the staff and students of ConVal High School, no individuals met the above definition of close contact, and we are able to continue our present programming at ConVal High School.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:

During this time, the two high schools have grown closer through biannual exchanges in either Salzburg or Peterborough. Students who participate in the exchange routinely refer to their fellow exchange students and host families as their “family away from home.”
Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted this tradition which has proven mutually beneficial for ConVal German learners and for students from Salzburg who are interested in experiencing American culture.
Since travel is not possible at this time, the exchange has moved online. For the last several months, students from both schools have contributed to a joint blog called "Das große Abenteuer 2020" ("The Great Adventure 2020").
The blog allows them to practice their respective language skills by sharing experiences and interests in the respective target language — German for ConVal students, English for students at the Akademisches Gymnasium in Salzburg.
For details, see the blog here.

This article will address Warrant Articles 2 and 3 which are associated the proposed extension of the contract between the School Board and the Contoocook Valley Education Association (CVEA).
CVEA is the exclusive representative of district employees in the Collective Bargaining Unit which includes district teachers, specialized service professionals and paraprofessionals. CVEA does not represents District supervisory or administrative staff.
The Board and CVEA appoint members to their respective negotiating teams which then conduct the negotiations - typically during the summer and fall prior to expiration of the contract term. The resulting agreement is subject to approval by the full membership of each respective organization. Following that approval, the Board and CVEA approved “Collective Bargaining Agreement” (CBA or contract) is subject to voter approval. Only then does it take effect.
Both the School Board and CVEA have voted on and approved the proposed contract extension that is the subject of Article 02.
For full details, please read this .pdf file.

Our last article was published in mid-December. It discussed the process and timeline followed to develop the school district budget which is subject to voter approval in March. A lot has happened since then:
Next up:
At the Deliberative Session, all proposed Warrant Articles will be presented and attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions about any of them. Voters can also propose amendments and, if approved by voters in attendance, the amended Warrant Articles will be included on the final ballots.
The proposed March 2021 District Ballot will include the following Warrant Articles:
It may be convenient to think about these in groups in terms of what they impact:

As you are aware, on January 25th, due to exposures to COVID 19, the District had to transition Francestown Elementary School (FES) to remote learning. Since those who were exposed included staff members, we did not have enough staff to provide appropriate levels of supervision for our in-person students.
Recognizing the enormous hardship this transition caused for many families, administrators and School Board members worked throughout the day on January 26th to find the substitutes needed for FES to safely reopen for in-person learning starting tomorrow Thursday, January 28th.
Those individuals who need to quarantine will remain at home and remote into their classrooms where students will be supported by the substitute assigned to their room.
We are extremely grateful to all the people who stepped forward to make this work, and we look forward to seeing all of the students back at FES tomorrow.

We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at Francestown Elementary School (FES). We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person. We have already contacted those identified individuals and NH DHHS will also contact these individuals or their parent/guardian and will instruct them how to self-quarantine at home.
While there were very few individuals that were potentially exposed, we will be transitioning FES to remote learning because we are unable to properly staff FES for appropriate supervision of students. The remote period will begin Tuesday, January 26th, and will last at least through Tuesday, February 8th. Should additional cases be identified we will need to establish a new date to return to in-person learning. Those families and staff that have been exposed will be directed to get tested and keep themselves or their children quarantined until 14 days following their last possible exposure.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders
ConVal Superintendent

Chris Sununu to re-prioritize K-12 educators and front-line staff from Phase 2a to Phase 1b of the state's COVID-19 vaccination plan.
The board issued a letter to Gov. Sununu Friday outlining the basis of its request.
Phase 1 of the New Hampshire COVID-19 Vaccination Allocation Plan began in December 2020 and will continue into March. Groups specified as part of Phase 1b - including people aged 65 and older, those medically vulnerable at significantly higher risk and family caregivers of those persons, residents and staff of residential facilities for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, corrections officers and staff, and first responders and healthcare workers not already vaccinated - became eligible to schedule a vaccination on Friday.
Through the state’s current plan, K-12 school and childcare staff will be eligible as part of Phase 2a, which is expected to begin in March and continue into May.
In the letter, the board pointed to the need to keep K-12 staff healthy to ensure adequate staffing and minimize the potential for disruptions to face-to-face instruction, resulting in improved student outcomes.
Below is the letter in full:
Dear Governor Sununu:
Thank you for your service to the citizens of New Hampshire during the incredibly challenging events of the past year. Among the many critical and difficult decisions you have had to make during this time is prioritizing vaccination eligibility. You have indicated that you intend to prioritize those you deem most vulnerable.
Throughout the fall and winter, you have repeatedly expressed your desire that schools remain open for face-to-face instruction, a desire we share and have worked hard to make possible. Furthermore, you have continually emphasized the importance of providing families with flexibility during these difficult times, another position we whole-heartedly support.
The ConVal School District has gone to extraordinary lengths to support these shared priorities. Our students were in school, in person, from the beginning of the school year until Thanksgiving. After a period of pre-planned remote instruction around holiday travel periods, they are once again in their classrooms.
Keeping schools open for face-to-face instruction requires adequate numbers of healthy teachers and other staff. Many school districts around the state have had to reduce face-to-face instruction due to staff shortages. At ConVal we have been fortunate, both in having low numbers of exposures resulting in quarantines, and more importantly in the willingness of our educators to return to their classrooms despite their understandable concerns about their health and that of their families.
In order to keep our educators and front-line staff healthy, and minimize the potential for disruptions to face-to-face instruction, we strongly encourage you to prioritize all K-12 teachers and other front-line employees and allow them to schedule vaccinations during Phase 1B. If you cannot support this request at this time, please consider allowing those educators and staff age 50 and over, and medically vulnerable educators and staff less than 50 years old, to be vaccinated in Phase 1B.
Taking this approach would support school districts in maintaining face-to-face instruction by ensuring adequate staffing levels, and improve student outcomes by providing students uninterrupted access to highly-trained and competent professional educators. Additionally, this approach would be consistent with your requirement that healthy young people not be vaccinated ahead of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Thank you for your consideration of this request, and for your continued service to the citizens of New Hampshire.
Sincerely,
Rich Cahoon, Chair
For the Contoocook Valley School Board

Skiers competed on machine-made snow over three laps of a challenging 1.5 K course. Organizers used wave starts to spread the skiers safely over the trails and required masks and physical distancing at all times except when actually racing.
Co-captains Eva Calcutt and Cami Hendrixson led the small ConVal group in their first competition, coming in 9th and 15th respectively in the girls race. Eme Tyler-Wall (27th) and Grace Phillips (29th) rounded off ConVal’s entrants.
The Cougars will travel to Lebanon on Wednesday, January 27, for their next race.

After a series of questions about any newly experienced health symptoms (loss of taste or smell, fever or chills, cough, headaches, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches), the recent travel history and contacts with someone who is suspected or confirmed to have had COVID-19 in the past 14 days is being reviewed.

Dear ConVal Families,
Meal service will change again as we move back to in-person classes.
In-Person Students – The schools will collect the meal information each morning and forward the results to the kitchen. I understand some schools use a Google document to facilitate this process.
Remote Students – We are unable to continue home delivery because our transportation resources will be used to transport the kids between home and school. Meals can be picked up curbside at the school’s front entrance on Monday and Wednesday as follows:
No pick up is available at AES and SMS
Please complete this Google survey to request your meals so we can properly plan for the number of meals needed at each school. Local kitchens will not have onsite resources to prepare extra meals. If your needs change, you may submit a new form. Change requests must be received by 11:59 pm on Wednesday to take effect the following Monday.
Meals for all kids ages 18 and younger are currently subsidized by the Federal Government, so there is no cost to you! This is available to all families within our ConVal communities.
For assistance with weekend meals, contact lcarac@yahoo.com with “ConVal End 68” as the subject. End 68 Hours will provide food for two breakfasts, two lunches, and three dinners for each school-aged child in your household.
For access to the SMS Food Pantry, please email Judy Hertzler at jhertzler@conval.edu or send a text to (603) 582-0986 and use “SMS Food Pantry” in the subject line.
Please send questions or concerns to me at lschmidt@conval.edu.

The Concert Festival will take place from March 11-13 this year. "Typically, we would attend a New England High School for those three days and have rehearsals with an esteemed music director," noted Band Director Jim Wickham and Chorus Director Brian Moore. "However, due to COVID, we are unsure of the format of the festival at this time."
The process for acceptance to the Festival included individually practicing and working up a solo selection of the students' choice to performance level. Students then recorded it and submitted it for review. The adjudicators are typically college professors for the students' instrument and voice.
The New England Music Festival Association (NEMFA) is dedicated to offering high school musicians from across New England the opportunity to pursue musical excellence. Through solo festivals, ensemble festivals, and concert festivals, NEMFA seeks to instill in each student a lifelong interest in music as a basic human experience.

This evening the ConVal School Board approved the recommendation of the COVID-19 Monitoring Team to move to the Green Phase of the ConVal Reopening Plan.
This move allows for reinstituting in-person learning on January 19, 2021, and to restart ConVal High School’s winter athletic programs, with varsity teams participating in a competitive, limited, regional NHIAA sanctioned schedule. During this time, members of the Blue and Gold Cohorts will be allowed to combine and form teams.
Any ConVal High School athlete who participates will be required to sign a COVID-19 waiver and they, as well as siblings or household members, would be required to learn/work remotely until after their final competition and a 14-day quarantine before they can return to in-person learning.
The following timeline will be used to restart ConVal’s winter sports schedule:
1/14/21-1/17/21 - Team conditioning and practice sessions; coaches will be in contact with their athletes regarding tryout/practice dates and times.
1/18/21 - First date to play games.
This plan will be re-evaluated prior to and during these dates to determine if COVID-19 cases have increased in the region.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at jreitnauer@conval.edu.
Sincerely,
John Reitnauer

After careful analysis of the context of COVID-19 cases in the nine ConVal communities, the significant mitigation strategies that have been successfully put into place across the District, and in balancing benefits and risks of in-person instruction, the COVID-19 Monitoring Team recommends that the School Board move the District back to the green phase of the Reopening Plan.
For more details on the multiple factors that were considered in issuing this recommendation, please see the Review, Update, and Recommendation document here.
As always, if you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.

We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at Great Brook School. We immediately contacted, worked with, and followed guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to determine if any staff or students were in close contact with the infected individual. NH DHHS defines close contact with the infected person as being within six feet for a total of ten cumulative minutes or more, beginning two days prior to first illness onset or collection of a positive test, whichever is earlier. When close contact occurs, we contact those individuals or their parent/guardian to instruct them on how to self-quarantine at home.
Thanks to the vigilance of the staff and students who are currently in person at Great Brook School, no individuals met the above definition of close contact, and we are able to continue our Great Brook programming as planned.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

The student work is based on writing, editing, and photography that is done in a co-curricular club at ConVal Regional High School and is advised by Lance Levesque. Ben Conant, editor at the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, serves as the outside advisor.
According to Levesque, getting an issue out still during the current year was a particular challenge. "The Link Magazine staff met its deadline today and completed their issue for this semester," Levesque said. "I am so proud of everyone, given the late start we had."
The theme for the publication was a reflection on the year 2020. "'Silver Bells and Silver Linings' is what we went with this semester," Levesque explained. "We wanted to focus on the challenges but also the positive stories and silver linings that have come out of the coronavirus pandemic."

Since March, the District has been focused on adapting to the changes needed to continue to serve our students in the environment of COVID-19.
The Strategic Planning Committee has been meeting to formulate a framework for the development of a plan that will move ConVal through and past the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. With these additional exigencies in mind, this next plan will be very significant for students, staff, and the ConVal community as a whole.

Each year, HOBY invites sophomores selected by their schools for promising leadership characteristics to attend the state leadership seminars to hone their leadership talents to become effective, ethical leaders in their school and communities. All four of these students have outstanding leadership qualities, and we are proud to have them represent ConVal High School at the leadership seminar to be held at St. Anselm College in June.
HOBY's mission is to inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation.
HOBY stresses volunteerism, integrity, excellence, diversity, and community partnership. Through understanding and action based on effective, compassionate, and service-driven leadership, students learn to make a positive difference, both locally and in the global society.

This evening the School Board adopted the recommendation of the district's COVID-19 monitoring team to move into the orange phase of the reopening plan. The COVID monitoring team made up of local medical doctors, school staff, hospital personnel, county administration, and local public health officers, tracks public health data in real time in order to allow the district to quickly adapt to the constantly evolving circumstances of the pandemic.
This evening, I will be hosting a live stream to review our present plan. You can access this live stream, starting at 8:00 pm, by using the following link: youtu.be/ONIrDh4wLFc
The move to the orange phase is the result of growth in the region's COVID-19 test positivity rate, (which has surpassed 8% locally, 9% at the state level, and 10% in Cheshire County) as well as the increasing number of cases within the nine communities, the increase of cases within New Hampshire, and increasing demands on the healthcare system.
There will be no changes to academic programming, as the district had already moved to remote learning under the segmented calendar it developed as part of its reopening plan. Students presently attending in person will continue to do so and our remote programs will continue as scheduled. There will be some changes to athletics. In accordance with the district's reopening plan, all district athletic programs will be paused and will be reconsidered at the School Board meeting on January 5th, 2021.
I understand the disappointment our student athletes, coaches, and school communities will feel as a result of this change, but it is a step we must take given the increased risk of community transmission of COVID-19 in our area. Our reopening plan was designed with the likelihood of a surge in cases in the late fall and early winter in mind, so while sports programs will be temporarily interrupted, I'm grateful that we planned for a remote segment so there will not be an additional disruption to our students' learning.
The segmented calendar calls for students to return to in-person learning on Jan. 19. The District continues to plan on that return and the Covid Monitoring Team will continue to watch public health metrics daily.

To prevent further spread of the disease in the community, ConVal district leaders remind all members of the community to practice the following COVID-19 prevention strategies.

Please be specific as to the reason for each absence and illness.
If your student has any symptoms of illness but is well enough to participate in remote learning, please notify your school nurse of the symptoms that the student experiences. Although most students are not in person during this time, it is still required for the school nurses to continue to track all illness across the district.
If your student is able to attend remote learning, but is quarantining at home due to direct close contact with a positive COVID case or travel outside of New England, we also ask that this information is relayed to your school nurse.
This is important information so that we can safely return to in-person learning in January, as scheduled.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact your school nurse.

Starting Monday, December 7, students in both Part 1 and Part 2 of Algebra 1 will be able to attend support sessions that will be held remotely after school from 3-5 pm Monday through Friday. The sessions, which will consist of roughly three to five students, will be between half an hour to an hour, and led by math faculty familiar with the course and content.
Students will be sent invitations and a form to RSVP and sessions will begin the following week. Students will be invited based on a weekly assessment covering recent materials.
Though the invitations will come from their specific math teacher, students may attend sessions led by other math teachers.
“This personalized learning opportunity shows just how dedicated our teachers are to providing our students with the best possible learning experience,” Principal McKillop said. “Thank you for all who organized this opportunity and resource.”
Those with questions may contact Mathematics Department head Lance Flamino at lflamino@conval.edu or your student’s Algebra 1 teacher.

"Unreserved Fund Balance" is an important portion in our budget to understand since it represents the amount "returned" to the taxpayers every year in the form of a reduction in tax assessments for the following year.
Unanticipated expenses associated with COVID-19 have reduced the amount available to be returned this year, and recent state guidance allows Districts to retain more of the unreserved fund balance than normally allowed.
This article explains the concept in greater detail and what it means for future budgets.

The E7018 classification refers to the low-hydrogen, usually DC, all-position electrode that is used when quality is an issue or for hard-to-weld metals. It has the capability of producing more uniform weld metal, which has better impact properties at temperatures below zero.
According to instructor Dan Guillou, this test is one of the hardest for welders to pass, and many people fail several times before being successful.
Cale attempted the test this past spring and did not succeed on his first attempt. However, he persevered, came back for more practice, and passed with an almost flawless test — an A+ according to Guillou.
Cale’s next steps are an ELO at American Steel, where he will continue to refine his skills. Well done, Cale!

Breakfast and lunch for your children ages 18 or younger are available for delivery beginning Tuesday, December 1. The Federal Government is subsidizing these meals for all families, so there is no cost to you!
Meals will be similar to those served in the spring with breakfast and lunch being provided in a single bag. However, the process will be different.
It is very important that every family complete this form for each child to identify whether or not you are interested in food delivery as well as to determine where the meals should be delivered. Completion of this form is necessary for your child to receive meals at school during the remote segment. You will not need to complete the form again unless your circumstances change.
Please take a few minutes to complete the form before Monday, November 30!
Please send questions or concerns related to the daily deliveries to me at lschmidt@conval.edu.

In her communication to Club President Harry Wolhandler, Jen Kiley explained how the money for the donation was raised: "Our teachers have donated money for the past two months on our 'Jeans Thursdays' to go toward helping local families have a brighter holiday season."
ATC Director Jen Kiley, English teacher Liz Moore, and Mathematics teacher Amanda Hinton jointly lead the Community Fund at ConVal Regional High School.
The Grand Monadnock Rotary Club (Club #6464) is dedicated to community service, with a special focus on youth development and health advocacy for people of all ages, locally, and internationally.
Club #6464 serves the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire. It was chartered as a new club on July 1, 2020 following the merger of the Monadnock and Peterborough Rotary Clubs. The Peterborough chapter has a long history dating back to 1925 when the Peterborough Rotary was started.

The students also met and had a Q&A session with NH State Fire Marshal Paul Parisi, District Chief Danielle Cole, District Chief Adam Fanjoy, Investigator Matt Wilmot, and the accelerant canine “Anthem.” Anthem was then run through some training exercises in detecting ignitable liquids.

With Chromebook cameras trained on the lab trays, Ms. Muncy guided students through all the parts of the lab which started with the examination of the exoskeleton of the crayfish and progressed through the use of straight and bent teasing needles to identify other external structures of the crayfish and finally the use of dissecting scissors to lay bare and identify the specimen's internal organs.
To document their progress, students took photos with their smartphones before turning in their lab reports. The photos of crayfish anatomy will also be used to do a comparative anatomy assignment where students will compare a crayfish and a starfish.

November 18, 2020
The COVID-19 emergency that started this past March has demanded that we all make significant adjustments in our lives in order to protect ourselves, our families and our neighbors. Last spring, with a few months left in the 2019-20 school year, we shifted to a remote learning model and this fall we started the school year following a hybrid learning model which includes both in-person and remote lessons.
We are now several months into the 2020-21 school year and are thoroughly impressed by the way students, staff and the community have adapted to the learning model we are following. The ConVal School Board and the Administration are committed to keeping everyone safe and we can assure you that this mission and philosophy has been paramount in any decision we’ve made over the past six months, and will continue to remain our top priority going forward.
This article is intended to provide a brief summary of the financial impacts of the pandemic on the recently completed (2019-20), the current (2020-21), and our next (2021-22) school years.
The financial situation is probably best described as fluid as our cost estimates change and, perhaps more significantly, as our federal and state authorities define the various relief packages that will offset some of the unanticipated costs.
These estimates are updated and reported on during our regular Board meetings.
2019-20 School Year
We were well into the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) when Governor Sununu declared a state of emergency on March 13, just days after District voters approved our 2020-21 budget. ConVal started remote learning on the 18th and the effort to understand and quantify the financial impact began in earnest.
Closing the schools and moving to a remote model did not result in net savings. There were some savings associated with the shift (e.g. transportation and fuel, facility operations, special education services, supplies, furniture & equipment, etc.), but these costs were offset by others (e.g. technology).
Our auditor’s field work for the FY2019-20 school year was recently completed and our “MS-25 School Financial Report” was signed by the Superintendent and all Board members and submitted to NH Department of Revenue.
The key “take-aways” from this report include:
From a school operation point of view, our teachers, staff, and administrators demonstrated their ability to adapt and to effectively implement a decidedly different method of learning.
2020-21 School Year
Unfortunately, our budget for this school year was approved by District voters literally days before we had to implement remote learning and, as such, there are significant unanticipated costs that have to be addressed. There are a lot of “moving parts” in this ongoing activity on both the cost and the revenue sides of the financial equation.
Unanticipated Costs
Here is a high-level description of some of these estimated unanticipated costs ($$ not included since these are subject to change and are reported on during School Board meetings):
The largest unanticipated cost was associated with certain prescribed special education services we were required to provide last year but could not because of the situation. It should be noted that the State granted schedule relief but did not waive the requirement to provide these services. These must be provided and paid for this school year – and they will be, using “encumbered” funds that were carried forward from last year.
State laws and regulations require that our costs cannot exceed the budget approved by voters each March. There are several ways that we are able to accommodate the unanticipated costs associated with COVID:
We actually started last fiscal year by making several technology purchases in anticipation of the continuation of remote learning.
Revenues – Federal & State
Certain COVID-19-related expenses do or may qualify for reimbursement by the federal or state government. Unfortunately, the amount and timing of this revenue is somewhat unpredictable and some of the guidelines are fairly restrictive and/or lack full clarity.
Stay tuned for inevitable changes to the above.
2021-22 School Year
The Budget & Property Committee recently revised its FY21-22 Budget Guidance to the School Superintendent and made our current instructional model the baseline for next school year.
The school administration team is currently developing their recommendations and will present that to the School Board in early December. The Board will have until late January to revise, approve, and post our proposed budget (and default budget).
The budget will be available for review and amendment by the public is February. Voting by Ballot is scheduled for March 9, 2021.
Summary
We have all worked hard during the health crisis to ensure that the District meets all fiscal requirements and we will continue to do so with absolute focus on health and safety and with minimal impact on the quality of education we provide our students.

Students and staff have created a video about the pledge and their reasons for taking it, which can be viewed by clicking here or by pressing the play button below.
The video features students and staff from ConVal Regional High School, Great Brook Middle School and Antrim Elementary School discussing the pledge and promising to wear their masks, wash their hands, watch their distance and socialize in small groups to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading in the community. In the video, students also shared their reasons for taking the pledge, which include wanting to return to school to continue learning, visit friends, and participate in sports and theater.
The Peterborough Fire Department also made a video taking the pledge, which can be viewed by clicking here.
To take part in the pledge, members of the community are encouraged to take a video or photo of themselves taking the pledge and share it on social media with the hashtag #ConValCommunityPledge.
"Our plan has included a transition to remote learning over the holiday season because we anticipated that there would be a second wave of COVID-19. We also knew that holiday travel could increase our risks. We wanted to first and foremost mitigate the chances of COVID-19 spreading during in-person learning as well as provide this opportunity for people to quarantine and travel safely," Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. "We hope that the pledge encourages people to do their part to take the necessary precautions to stay healthy over the coming weeks so that we can return to school after the holidays."
Tuesday, November 24, will be the last day of in-person learning at Contoocook Valley School District for the remainder of the holiday season, and students will return to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
The transition to fully remote learning was built intentionally into this year's schedule to allow students, families, and staff to quarantine at home and if they choose to travel, do so safely, to visit family and friends amid the ongoing pandemic. The move to remote learning seeks to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading in the district community at a time when people traditionally travel, host indoor family gatherings, and other activities that increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
The state has lifted the requirement to quarantine for two weeks to those traveling or returning to New Hampshire from states including Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Those traveling to the state from outside of New England are still expected to quarantine for two weeks. Everyone is also urged to review the travel requirements and guidelines of any states they intend to travel to over the holidays, especially as case numbers fluctuate locally, regionally and nationally.
To review guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention related to traveling during COVID-19, click here.
By taking the pledge, students, staff, families and community members are agreeing to follow public health guidance to reduce the spread of COVID-19 so that they can return to in-person learning safely in January. This includes:

"The students will acquire the tools to transform E. coli bacteria to express new genetic information using a plasmid system," Dr. Milne explained in her introductory lecture. "They will then apply mathematical routines to determine transformation efficiency."
The lab used Escherichia coli bacteria HB101-K12, a non-pathogenic strain of E. coli that is commonly used in molecular biology labs. It is genetically modified to grow only in an enriched medium.
Another key component of the lab is pGlo plasmid. pGlo incorporates a special gene regulation system which can be used to control expression of the fluorescent protein in transformed cells. The gene can easily be switched on in transformed cells by adding the sugar arabinose to the nutrient medium which serves as the positive control of transcription.
Selection for cells that have been transformed with pGlo DNA is accomplishing by growth on selective media containing the antibiotic ampicillin.
Transformed cells will appear white on plates which do not contain arabinose and fluorescent green under UV light when arabinose is included in the nutrient agar.

There’s a lot going on these days in the greater ConVal community with the operation of our schools amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the elections, and the fast-approaching winter.
The school year began on July 1, professional development for teachers and other staff in August, and classes in September. We’ve done our best to keep you informed as we reopened and implemented outdoor learning, monitored the presence of the coronavirus in the community, managed an issue with our tent supplier, and made decisions on fall and winter sports.
There’s also been a high level of financial activity going on behind the scenes. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our budgets since March. The School Board and administration have implemented almost weekly meetings since March and we’ve made some significant changes in the way we manage our operations and expenses. Federal and state programs to help with some of the unanticipated expenses are ongoing and seemingly ever changing.
We also have some significant financial milestones coming up (or recently completed), including:
This may not be as newsworthy as some of the other activities mentioned above, but it’s all important and we want to keep you informed as we continue to manage the financial side of the house.
Between now and the end of January, we plan on issuing an array of financial communications including press releases and a series of relatively brief and targeted articles addressing some of the above financial topics. We will also be publishing our third annual “School Budget Primer” in January which will provide a more detailed discussion and analysis of the proposed budget and any other warrant articles.
These will all be available on the ConVal School Board website schoolboard.convalsd.net.
We’ll let you know when we post new material. Stay tuned.

The PSA encourages everyone to observe the "three W's": Watch your Distance, Wear your Mask, and Wash your Hands.
By following the three W's, the hope is to keep the nine towns in ConVal's school community safe, to reduce the risks of virus spread, and to return to the hybrid model following the scheduled remote learning period that will start at the end of the month.
A film crew from John Guilfoil Public Relations filmed the PSA which will be released later this month.

Though the event has been held in-person in previous years, this year’s event will be held virtually out of an abundance of caution due to the ongoing pandemic.
The virtual Open House will be held on Thursday, November 5, and start at 6:20 pm with a brief introductory meeting with Principal McKillop. Families will have an opportunity to meet with teachers, starting at 6:30 pm. Information will be sent home to parents and guardians by the end of the week that will include each respective student schedule and links to meet their individual teachers.
The virtual event serves as an opportunity for parents and guardians to meet their child’s teachers and learn important information about the current school year, including in-person and remote learning expectations, training on the use of Google Classroom, grading policies and procedures, additional support opportunities for students, and teacher contact information.
“We are excited to once again connect with families this fall to provide information about how this school year is being structured,” Principal McKillop said. “This year’s event, which will look a little different, also provides families a great opportunity to learn more about the hybrid learning model students are following.”
Individual conferences will not be available at the event. Those who wish to discuss individual matters related to their student should contact their teacher directly to set up a time for a meeting.
“We are grateful for the support of our entire ConVal community, which has been vital in helping to provide students with the best possible learning experience during these challenging times,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “We hope you will join us for this important event to learn more about and celebrate the incredible work students have done since the start of the school year.”

With snow in the forecast for Friday, we are writing today to provide an update on the use of outdoor classrooms and the work we’ve done to prepare all the buildings in the districts for students to move indoors to continue their learning.
Students have been able to utilize outdoor learning over the past couple of months in order to allow for a safe, in-person learning environment as we prepared our buildings for the winter months. However, with snow and colder weather in the forecast for this week, the tents, which cannot withstand a snow load, will likely begin to come down this week and students will begin to learn indoors in the next couple of days. When weather permits teachers may continue to take students outdoors for learning activities.
Knowing that the chance of inclement weather occurring was likely to be sooner rather than later, we have been working expeditiously over the last few weeks to prepare our buildings for a return to indoor learning for all students.
Over the last two weeks, the Lawson Group performed an independent evaluation of all HVAC systems in the district in order to ensure the buildings are in compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ventilation guidelines for schools as the fight against COVID-19 goes on. We have made enhancements to the HVAC systems in all school buildings for the 2020-21 school year, which include:
We are proud of the incredible work Director of Facilities Tim Grossi, our HVAC specialist Keith Lee and the facilities team has done to complete this work prior to our students returning to indoor learning spaces. It is a prime example of our commitment to continually prioritizing the health and safety of our students, staff and their families, which has been and will continue to be a top priority in all of our decisions.
Best,
Kimberly

Under the proposal, all ConVal High School winter sports programs would offer opportunities to participate in a competitive limited regional NHIAA sanctioned schedule.
ConVal High School athletes who decide to participate in winter athletics must sign a COVID waiver. They will also be required to join the remote-only learning cohort until their final competition date plus a 14-day quarantine period immediately following the last athletic event.
The following timeline was approved by the NHIAA’s Executive Council last week:

This means that all supplies and tools, including potter's wheels, have to be brought out on a hand-pulled utility wagon every morning and brought back in when school is over.
Everyone has taken these new circumstances in stride. "Students have been practicing a variety of hand-building skills in Ceramics under the tents this year," explained Mitschmyer. "Everything from pinch to coil, and now working with slabs."
"Over the last two weeks, students have been building vessels for containment. At school, this means they have been building boxes and at home, they are working on hollow forms. Moving forward we are exploring bowl forms and tile making."
"I'm hopeful that we will be in the studio in the near future and students will begin practicing the potter's wheel! I just fired the first kiln of the year and hope to show students how to apply glaze for the final firing process soon," Mitschmyer concluded.

On a typical day and depending on the class level, one can observe students working on Shaker-style nightstands, building wooden iPhone speakers, assembling wooden pens that have been made by hand on a lathe, designing cribbage boards, or creating intricate family crests.
Under the expert guidance of Mr. Ewing and Mr. Morris, students learn the full range of skill sets. They start from the basics of proper measuring, cutting wood with hand saws, and gluing pieces together with clamps. More advanced skills include squaring rough-cut boards with the automated jointer and planing tools, all the way to programming and operating the computer numerical control (CNC) router.
Safety is always the primary concern. The ATC teachers ensure not only that equipment guards are installed and work properly, but also that students follow all individual safety precautions. This includes students wearing CSA-certified safety glasses and removing all entanglement hazards, such as loose clothing and jewelry.
Once these preconditions are set, the remaining work is all based on student creativity and workmanship.

The motivation for the listening tour stemmed from McKillop's interest in connecting with students. "Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual occasions, such as opening day gatherings, spirit rallies, and sport events, cannot be held this year," she explained. "The split into two alternating student cohorts and the physical distancing guidelines result in vastly fewer opportunities to make personal connections with students. It is therefore all the more important to be visible outside the office and to connect with them where they experience school right now."
In the student groups, McKillop shared her background as a teacher and administrator and invited students to share their backgrounds and experiences at ConVal as well. "I wanted to learn how they are doing with in-person and remote learning experiences," McKillop said. "How are they handling the two modalities? What can we do to make their experience better?"
Students, for the most part, seemed to really enjoy the personal connections they are making with teachers and classmates whenever their cohort was engaged in in-person learning, McKillop noted. "I am amazed at how resilient the students are and how they are handling themselves under the circumstances."

Students in Mary Goldthwaite-Gagne's art class are learning how to see works of art in the way that other artists have interpreted art before them.
"2D Studio Art students are currently exploring abstraction and the work of artist Corita Kent," Ms. G explains. "Corita Kent was an artist and educator, and the motto of the art department at Immaculate Heart College where she taught was, 'We have no art, we do everything as well as we can.'"
Kent often utilized a small viewfinder tool and encouraged students to look at the world around them in small abstracted parts in order to take in the beauty all around us.
"She championed art as essential and for all of us," Goldthwaite says.
Quoting from Corita Kent's book Learning by Heart: Teaching to Free the Creative Spirit, Goldthwaite notes: "To work, play, see, touch, laugh, cry, build, and use it all - even the painful parts, and survive with style: that's what Corita taught. She taught that art is not something apart from life and living."

The protagonist, Darius, is struggling with his identity as an Iranian-American and does not quite know where he fits in with his family or the kids at school. He is also dealing with depression and anxiety, and that adds to his struggles with fitting in. When Darius goes to Iran to visit family he has never met, he learns a lot about himself, his heritage, and friendship. Darius is rarely alone, but he's lonely.
As Mrs. Holcomb explained: "We read an article together on how loneliness is actually an epidemic here in the US, and so we engaged in service projects to help combat loneliness. Students drew chalk art with uplifting messages, made cards for hospitalized kids, wrote letters to send to the local senior centers, or wrote letters to loved ones far away. It's all part of our effort to use literature to help us understand the complexities of our world and our place in it."

Food selections are made by students daily during Block 1, based on a Google form that lists the various options, including a hot meal choice. On the form, students also indicate where their Block 3 class is located.
At the designated time, lunch is delivered to students at their preferred location, whether it is in the classrooms close to the cafeteria or, in this case, the classroom furthest away — the tents on the athletic fields.
This lunch delivery arrangement avoids large groups of students coming together in the cafeteria and allows for the physical distancing guidelines of the ConVal COVID protocols to be maintained.
Teachers, who share their lunch period with students, have remarked that this is also a time where important informal conversations can take place.
A big thank you to all the cafeteria personnel who makes this special delivery service possible at ConVal High School!

I'm so excited to be able to share with you that we are going to be workshopping an amazingly funny play called "Puffs: or Seven Increasingly eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic" by Matt Cox!
The world seems strangely familiar to any of you who might be familiar with a certain boy wizard. This hysterical 90-minute one-act will keep you entertained from beginning to end!
We do not currently have plans for a performance. For now, we're looking forward to getting together with other theatre-minded people and having some fun with this text!
We will either have two casts (one for each cohort - if there is enough interest) or one cast, and everyone interested will be involved in some way!
Please fill out this form if you are interested!
E-mail Mrs. Moore (emoore@conval.edu) if you have questions!

Since September, art teacher Victoria Burnham has been posting student artwork on the @bobcatstudioartists Instagram page. The art is usually hung throughout the school for visitors to enjoy. However, since visitors now have limited access to the school building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Instagram page allows both community members and fully remote students to stay connected to the school's artistic endeavors.
Art from the fifth through eighth graders in Pod 3 is up on the page currently, but Burnham will be sharing the work from all students over the coming months.
"Our teachers are really going above and beyond, and the students are doing great work," Principal Foecking said. “Efforts like this help keep our school community together and make sure everyone is as connected as possible. I'm beyond proud of the work our students and teachers have done since the start of the school year, and am glad to have this opportunity to share their work with community members."
Students are connecting with their remote peers in other classes as well. For example, during science labs, two students who are learning in-person will work with one of their remote peers via Zoom to complete the work so that all three can work together.
“During this unprecedented time, it's incredible to have the opportunity to foster and maintain the community relationships that allow our students to thrive," Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “It's amazing to see what these students create and we love being able to share their creative work with others."
Additional resources and projects can be found on the GBS Art Studio website here.

The letter on behalf of WMUR Sports Director Jamie Staton reads as follows:
"Congratulations! Your local food bank, the Peterborough Food Pantry, has reached $1,045, which means your food pantry has received a matching gift of $500 through the generosity of the Lois Roy Dickerman Fund. Your total including this is $1,545.
In seven years, “NH Tackles Hunger” has collected 455,000 pounds of food which equals 380,000 meals for NH families. I want to personally congratulate you and your team for a job well done. This is by far the most successful NH Tackles Hunger Fundraiser we have ever done.
With your generous help, the total collected this year was $81,818.45 which includes school donations made, the Dead River $10,000 gift and the matching $500 from the Lois Roy Dickerman Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation for each school that met or exceeded $500.00 in donations. This year’s cash converted to pounds totals 196,363 pounds providing 163,636 meals to our neighbors experiencing hunger.
Thank you for all of your help. We couldn’t have done it without you!"

Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders reports the ConVal School District has filed a lawsuit against Monadnock Tent and Event in order to recoup losses caused by unusable outdoor tents the district rented from the business to support in-person learning.
The suit was filed on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Hillsborough County Superior Court.
In all, the district will be seeking $220,236.99 in total damages from Monadnock Tent and Event. This amount includes a refund for the money spent on tents that were not able to be permitted, labor costs, engineering costs, and electrical work.
“This lawsuit is meant to hold Monadnock Tent and Event responsible for their failure to live up to the responsibility of ensuring that the tents provided to the district could be permitted for use,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “This failure resulted in significant disruptions to the start of the school year, putting an increased burden on our staff, students, and their families during an already challenging time. After a good faith effort on our part to resolve this issue, this step is a last resort for the district as we work to recoup the taxpayer funding that went toward tents that we were ultimately unable to use.”
In late August and early September, the district became aware that tents over 400 square feet that it rented from Monadnock Tent and Event would not meet the permitting requirements set out by the state of New Hampshire. The permitting challenges were created by the vendor’s inability to provide the necessary data, certificates, and other required documentation to the necessary authorities per the contract and the representations made by the vendor.
As a result, the district had to modify its reopening plan and transitioned students at Great Brook, South Meadow and ConVal Regional High Schools to a remote learning model for the beginning of the school year.
As of this week, the District is fully implementing the Reopening Plan. On Monday, Oct. 5, South Meadow School seventh and eighth graders began attending classes in-person, as well as all ConVal High School students in the blue cohort. Students in grades 9-12 in the gold cohort will attend in-person together beginning on Oct. 13, and the two cohorts will rotate as scheduled going forward. In-person learning was scheduled to have begun for those students on Sept. 8.
The district will provide additional updates as they become available.

Students in the Blue Cohort dissected cow eyes last week as part of their studies of the nervous system in Ms. Young's Anatomy and Physiology class.
The entire class prepared by first reading about the structure of the eye and constructing paper models of it. After discussing the models as a whole class over Zoom, Gold Cohort and Remote-only students worked on extension questions about vision while in-person students completed the dissection.
The following week, the students' roles will switch and the Gold cohort students will dissect while the Blue Cohort and Remote-only students work on other learning activities.
Ms. Young used the following Flex Friday as an optional opportunity for Remote only students to come to the Anatomy tent and dissect the eye under her supervision.
The dissection is an important part of the Anatomy curriculum because it allows students to see how the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, optic nerve, and muscles of the eye come together to enable the eye to function.
Ms. Young's favorite aspect of the dissection is the students' "ah-ha" moment. Experiencing how an actual eye is put together allows them to make sense of their paper-and-pencil studies to arrive at a deeper understanding.
"I love hearing them say, 'Ooooohhhh, okay,' because I know they are getting it. It's awesome." Young said.

The model envisioned two student cohorts that rotate weekly for in-person learning and remote learning on an alternating schedule, with the option of a third group of students remaining entirely remote as per family choice.
While the hybrid model demanded additional technologies and new skills from teachers who are teaching both in-person and remote students, the hybrid model was seen to provide maximum benefits for everyone involved.
It most closely resembles what students already know and expect school to be like. In-person instruction has the advantage of providing opportunities for hands-on activities like science labs as well as career and technical education (CTE) courses. Learning in-person also allows them to make individual connections with teachers and peers.
Live remote instruction permits students to interact with their teachers and peers on a real-time basis. Classroom discussions are being moderated by the teachers between remote students and students in class or in tents. In addition, Google Classroom offers the opportunity for written exchanges and responses to teacher-chosen discussion questions.
Student feedback thus far indicates that they appreciate the opportunity of both options of the hybrid model while following a predictable schedule. ConVal's Blue & Gold plan positions the high school for maximum flexibility along a continuum of blended learning environments which can quickly be adapted, as needed, in response to changing conditions.

During staggered dismissal at the end of each block, teachers sanitize their hands, put on gloves, and use the provided Q.T.3 spray bottle to spray the top surfaces of all the desks, tables, and chairs that were used during class. Once the surfaces have been sprayed, teachers return to the first desk and wipe it using a UniFirst microfiber cleaning cloth.
When the cleaning is done, the microfiber cloths are folded over, turning the dirty side of the towel against itself in order to allow for four different clean uses of the same cloth. The cloths are changed on a daily basis.

When students are "caught" showing one of our values they are given an owl. The students then bring those owls to the office where they are met with excitement and asked what they earned their owl for. On Friday afternoons we announce the recipients that received an owl for each value. The owls eventually end up on the TES Values tree.
We are so proud of the effort that each or our students have put forth to fill up our tree.

To sign up for PSAT, please complete this linked form.
Sign up information and payment must be received by Friday, October 9. Payment by check can be mailed to the high school, ATTN: Stacy Whitaker, or can be dropped off at the school between 7:30 am – 2:00 pm. Please call the Counseling Office at 924-4120 or the main office at 924-3869 when you arrive in the bus loop by the front apron (flagpole). Someone will come out to collect payment and provide a receipt.

Even though we can't use most of our tents yet, classes are happening outside. Students are connecting with their teachers, as well as their in-person and remote peers. Teachers are finding new and creative ways to engage their students academically while supporting their social-emotional needs. Our classrooms are expanding beyond the four walls and teachers and students are taking advantage of these opportunities.

The rationale behind this planning decision was the opportunity to increase student and staff safety because outdoor classrooms have been shown to help reduce the viral load in the air. Fewer students spending time indoors touching shared surfaces throughout the school day also reduce the chances for the virus to spread.
An additional, though not entirely unexpected, benefit has been that schools may use outdoor spaces the tents for exploratory outdoor learning, independent reading, lunches, specials, classroom instruction, related services, special education instruction, small group instruction, etc.
As these pictures show, the spaces lend themselves to everything from storytime to the completion of independent work, to connecting with students during informal lunches.

After months of preparation, students could meet their teachers and classmates again in person.
Whether in indoor classrooms or outdoor instructional spaces, students learned about the guidelines to keep everyone safe and healthy. Morning meetings were held in a properly distanced manner. Tents were ready for students to begin their daily schedule. Storytime took on a special meaning when conducted in the outdoor open spaces.
It was an amazing first day and everyone was glad to see each other back in school!

COVID health check protocols were conducted on everyone before they could enter the building. Signage reminded staff and students to remain 6 feet apart and to wear masks. Clearly marked one-way hallway traffic required the learning of new walking routes to get to the classroom.
But once the newness of the safety measures had worn off, teaching and learning resumed with the same vigor and joy that classes at ConVal had enjoyed before the pandemic. Please see the photos below for some scenes from today's first day of school at ConVal High School.

On August 4, the ConVal School Board unanimously voted to approve the Reopening Plan as presented and authorized the SAU to contract with Monadnock Tent to have the required tents installed at all elementary, middle, and high school locations in time for the students’ first day of school. The process of installing tents on multiple sites is taking the vendor longer than anticipated.
The district has been working closely with Monadnock Tent and local officials to work through the inspection and issuance of permits to ensure that the outdoor classrooms are ready for student and staff use. The district has also contracted with SFC Engineering to further assure that the outdoor classrooms are ready for use.
While we are working to have the outdoor classroom spaces ready as soon as possible, not all the tents will be ready by the scheduled reopening date. Therefore, starting on September 8, students in grades PreK-6 who have opted for in-person instruction will be able to return for in-person instruction and in-school services.
Most students in grades 7-12 will start the school year remotely. Priority students in grades 7-12 who have been identified based on factors such as internet access and needed services will be invited to return for in-person instruction and in-school services.
We will be updating you regularly as more tents become available for use, and we are able to welcome all students PreK-12 who have opted for in-person instruction back to our school campuses.

"Given how much being outside reduces the COVID-19 transmission risk, it is mind boggling that the U.S. National Guard is not busy setting up open canopy tents at every school around the country," Jimenez writes. But, he warns, "masks are [still] essential, even when we are able to maintain social distance. We should also pay attention to fitting masks snugly."
Jose-Louis Jimenez is a Professor of Chemistry and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He is a highly-cited researcher and a Fellow of the American Association for Aerosol Research and the American Geophysical Union. For the complete article in Time Magazine, please click here.

Our tents have been professionally installed following the specifications from the tent manufacturers. Each tent is undergoing a thorough inspection in conjunction with local authorities.
The tent company that we are working with is highly reputable and the proprietor is a local resident invested in our ConVal community and the safety of our students and staff.
Additionally, we have developed emergency procedures for evacuation of the tents and movement of students and staff into our buildings in the event that it becomes necessary.
These emergency procedures have been included with our Emergency Operation Plans, and as we do with other emergency procedures we will review and practice them with our students and staff.
The ConVal District remains vigilant about safety, should you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our Facilities Director Tim Grossi at tgrossi@conval.edu.

The Monadnock region school districts are very busy developing and implementing our local school reopening. I’d like to highlight the work that went into ConVal’s reopening plan: it is the result of three months of community-wide efforts of the ConVal administration, the educators and school staff, the public health professionals, law enforcement, town administration, parents, and the school board.
This joint effort resulted in a plan that considers the safety and health of students and all school staff, and utilizes community resources to meet these needs. The plan utilizes research and data in identifying those practices that give the nine communities of ConVal its best chance at opening safely.
School districts across the state have reviewed the plan, and have also found the plan to be thorough and far-reaching, and have requested permission to use parts of the plan within their own.
ConVal parents have met with their individual school principals and teachers to get the information they need to make the right decision for their children.
I am most proud of our nine community collaboration that made this plan possible, and the support that has been evident between all parties throughout this process.
I’d also like to highlight that it is the commitment of our communities that make it possible for school districts to consider opening – the ability to open schools safely is dependent on the community transmission rate. When you wear a mask and maintain social distance guidelines, you are helping our schools to reopen and supporting families across the region.
Thank you to everyone and let’s keep up the good work!

Safety. Safety first for our students, educators, parents/guardians, and the community at large.
This is the overarching theme of the ConVal reopening plan. Our ConVal administration has worked diligently to provide a plan that is both safe and flexible to ensure the best education environment achievable in these difficult times.
Committee teams, comprised of over 120 individuals representing all required disciplines plus outside stakeholders ConVal administration, have developed a comprehensive plan that best reflects the requirements of our ConVal Community. Using a combination of in-school, remote and distance learning environments the ConVal district will have the flexibility to adjust the learning model as COVID-19 situations develop.
The Reopening Implementation Team related four instructional modes to the CDC’s four levels of community transmission and mitigation. These levels are designated as Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red.
The decision to move from one level to another level will be analyzed in real time by the district's COVID-19 monitoring team which is made up of local health professionals and district staff. Data from on-site monitoring, local and state information will all factor into the decision process. We are currently planning on our opening in the Green level.
The School Board has also been extremely active in having input to the plan, approving of the plan and being active participants in the steering committee overseeing the development of the plan.
Since our plan has been published, ConVal administration has been contacted by other districts — both in-state and out-of-state — to seek permission to use areas of our plan to assist them in developing their own plans. This is a testament to the completeness and direction we have established.
As with any plan, it is only as good as the time it was written, with the information available at the time it was written. With the overarching goal being safety, we expect the plan to be a living entity. The plan is only as good as the leadership is to execute it and to adjust as the situation requires. The ConVal community is uniquely privileged to have both the plan and leadership to navigate us through these uncharted waters.
Flexibility is also a key component to this plan. Everything will not be as it was. The success of our school year depends on all being as flexible as possible in their needs and requirements. We are all in this together. We are ConVal.
Please go to the ConVal website (convalsd.net) to see the entire detailed plan. For a high-level informational overview, please see the Executive Overview section of the plan.

On August 8, the Class of 2020 was finally able to hold its commencement exercises under bright skies on the ConVal athletic field.
Former principal Michelle Voto and Jadyn Vaidya, President of the Class of 2020, welcomed the more than one hundred families who attended in person under observance of physical distancing guidelines. In a first for ConVal, the event was also live-streamed on YouTube so that extended families could attend online. Over 300 viewers took advantage of this new option, some from as far away as Florida and Hawaii.
Salutatorian Mather Kipka and Valedictorian Casey Jordan delivered addresses to the Class of 2020. A special moment during the commencement ceremonies was the speech by Social Studies teacher Greg Leonard congratulating Shannon Allen who received the 2020 ConVal Faculty and Staff Award. After the award speech, diplomas were distributed and Hunter Luke gave the Farewell Address.
Rosie Crooker and Reid Wilson served as the Class Marshalls for the event which was also attended by the class advisors Jennifer Kiley and Jim Wickham.
Congratulations, Class of 2020!

"These informal meet and greets proved very beneficial," said McKillop. "In all, we had over 40 families RSVP and drive up through the bus loop to join me curbside for physically distanced conversations."
"Seeing so many smiling faces truly makes me excited to begin the school year together in September," she noted. "I appreciated getting to meet so many students and families as well as getting to respond to their specific questions." Many of the questions revolved around ConVal's school reopening plans in September.
"For those of you I have not yet met, please know that I look forward to welcoming you to the high school in the near future," McKillop concluded.

Thank you for all your support during these challenging times for everyone. As you look over the plans for the upcoming school year, please know that we will be working on many areas as we gather more information about how to manage the virus.
Our number one goal is to make sure that we have a safe environment for our students and staff. We will focus on following all the safety protocols that have been given to the schools from the CDC.
The next goal would be to get our students back into the learning environment whether one chooses remote or in person learning at this time.
Finally, we will work on the areas such as extra-curricular to see how those can be managed in a safe environment. We know how important all the sports and extra offerings are to our students.
Please find attached a powerpoint to review some of SMS highlights for the 20-21 school year.
Please click here to open SMS Powerpoint
If you still have any questions,I will be available for an in person parent meeting on August 6 at 5pm in the ConVal HS gym and in Zoom at 6pm. If you plan to attend one of the two meetings and you haven’t already signed up, please do so in the link below.
Again, thank you for your patience at this time as we plan for the 20-21 school year.

Addendum: The original plan to create student cohorts in the Blue & Gold Reopening Model was based on an alphabetical sort. In response to feedback from the community, the plan that was approved by the ConVal School Board in the meeting on August 4 now foresees the creation of cohorts based on geographical location — Blue Cohort: students from Antrim, Bennington, Francestown, Greenfield, and Hancock; Gold Cohort: students from Dublin, Peterborough, Sharon, and Temple.
To further discuss the reopening plan, there are community meetings scheduled for Thursday, August 6, at 7:00 pm and for Friday, August 7, at 10:00 am. Each meeting offers an in-person option in the ConVal gym, followed by a Zoom meeting online.
Please email Lisa Pelkey at lpelkey@conval.edu to RSVP.

On Wednesday August 5th, there will be two GBS specific meetings. The first one will be at 5:00pm and will take place in the ConVal High School Gymnasium. The second will be at 6:00pm and will take place via Zoom. It is important to know if you are attending either of these meetings, so please RSVP using this survey. We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday!

Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety have been either triggered or made worse by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, particularly for those who had existing psychiatric conditions.
In early July, two ConVal rising seniors had launched a letter-writing campaign urging the ConVal School Board to enact better mental health policies.
The letter called upon the administration to budget for more available mental health professionals, to welcome established Title IX reporting processes, and to focus on providing resources for struggling students.
This first meeting marked the beginning of a long-term dialogue that will include student voices in developing effective strategies as ConVal makes mental health and well-being a district priority.

Since the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the ConVal School Board has been working collaboratively with the district administration and a variety of committees made up of building administrators, staff, teachers, and community members to plan for the reopening of the District for 2020-2021.
In order to keep you informed about this comprehensive group effort, which is being undertaken by over 120 individuals throughout the summer, we have put together an overview document entitled COVID Reopening Communication.

The following video presentation is dedicated to all those in the ConVal community who, in the words of one ConVal School Board member, organized "the absolutely superb, professional, timely, and unflagging response of the entire ConVal team during this unprecedented challenge."
"No words can express our pride and gratitude for all you were able to make happen for the children of ConVal in such trying times," noted another. "We realize that your own lives had been turned upside down as well and to try to create calm, confidence, creativity, and commitment to your students went above and beyond."
One board member reflected on the exceptional "devotion to students, teaching, and ethic of care" demonstrated by faculty, staff, and support personnel: "What you have done is truly remarkable, and I am in awe of how you have all stepped up to the challenge!"
Other board members remarked on the teachers' firm focus on students, despite the unsettling developments precipitated by the pandemic: "You always kept the ConVal kids in the center of your vision, and didn’t let go," observed one. "I have heard many stories told by students, parents, and school leaders about your dedication and the beyond-the-call-of-duty efforts you made on behalf of students this spring," wrote another. "Please wear your pride openly this summer, both as an individual and as part of a conscientious and devoted team."
"As we all know, leadership can make a difference," commented another member of the Board. "In ConVal’s case, we are truly blessed with a dedicated, responsive, and capable leadership team."
Please enjoy this presentation and take pride in the tremendous work you all have accomplished.

In representing all in the ConVal School District, the ConVal School Board would like to express our sincerest appreciation to our parents, guardians, and students for your incredible patience and flexibility as we conclude the 2019-2020 school year.
We understand the enormous responsibility and challenges that Remote Learning placed on parents, guardians, and students as you had to create time, space, routine, and support for learning at home. We realize that all of our families are experiencing a difficult time and that there are many other needs, in addition to student learning, that are critical as we work through this crisis together.
We are so thankful to our families and students for all the amazing gestures of kindness and generosity we keep reading about. From donating to food banks, sewing masks, thanking first responders, doctors and nurses. Writing notes of gratitude to teachers, staff, bus drivers, and food service workers. Sending videos and slideshows of students singing songs, creating art, performing science projects, or just to cheer up those around them.
We honor all of you and your acts of generosity and kindness, patience and resilience, and the fortitude and determination you have demonstrated.
Together, we are ConVal.
With sincere thanks,
The ConVal School Board

Good Morning ConVal Community,
After much consideration, the ConVal Regional High School administrative team and the Class of 2020 officers have reached a decision regarding prom.
We know the topic of prom has been weighing heavily on everyone’s minds. Over these past few months, we have worked tirelessly to find a way to safely host this event for the class. However, we regret to inform you that prom has been canceled in the interest of everyone’s health and wellbeing. We have come to this decision after much deliberation with students and staff over how we could safely hold this event. While current restrictions issued by Governor Sununu’s office would allow for the event to occur at half capacity, individuals not of the same family would still have to be six feet apart, and all attendees would need to wear face masks. These restrictions would not allow for activities such as dancing to occur.
The Class of 2020 officers will continue to look into all available options to hold an event in the future or to put the class’s funds to good use. You can stay updated on their plans by following the class Instagram account, @conval2020.
In partnership,
Michelle Voto, Principal, ConVal Regional High School
Jadyn Vaidya, Senior Class President
Hunter Luke, Senior Class Vice President
Liam McCall, Secretary
Zoe Werth, Treasurer
Jennifer Kiley, Senior Class Adviser
James Wickham, Senior Class Adviser

The festival screens a two-hour program of selected films. Films submitted for consideration are previewed and scored by a festival selection committee. Originality, cinematic storytelling, and technical execution are the primary basis of the scoring.
All films, regardless of type or genre, are judged on the filmmaker’s ability to effectively captivate an audience through cinematic expression.

The test compares students in German level 1 across the entire country.
Congratulations to the following ConVal Regional High School students:
"We are extremely proud of how all of our students did," said Frau Hodgdon and Frau Concannon. "These results are tremendous, considering the students had not had German in 4 months. We know the future of the German program at ConVal is bright!"
The National German Exam is administered each year to nearly 25,000 high school students of German. Normally given in February, this year the testing window was extended to May 15 due to the shift to remote instruction in school systems across the country.

Each May, as sunny days multiply and the end of the school year is just around the corner, sustaining students’ attention to schoolwork becomes more challenging.
A recent survey of ConVal parents and teachers reflects this annual phenomenon, but also shows that there is still a high level of student engagement with their remote learning activities – 80% of parents and teachers say that students are “engaged” to “highly engaged” with remote learning.
The latest survey was sent to parents and teaching staff on May 1; more than 900 responses were received. ConVal Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders has summarized the survey results in her “Weekly Update” sent to families and staff on May 8th. You can see the Weekly Update by clicking here.
Good Communication; Manageable Workload. The May survey reports parent and staff responses to multiple-choice questions and records “comments” that respondents add to provide detail. Parent and staff responses to questions about teacher-student communication have been substantially favorable and consistent with results from the first version of the survey administered in early April. Parents give high marks to teacher-parent communication and the teachers express appreciation of good communication by Administrators. Most parents feel that their children are managing the workload for classes, with 85% of respondents sharing that their children were managing “well” to “extremely well.” The shift to four days of instruction has been positive for most families as well as for teachers. Most parents find the challenge-level of assigned work to be appropriate, though, consistent with the April survey, some parents feel there is too little work or that the work is too easy, while a similar percentage say the workload is too heavy and the work too difficult. Additionally, some parents have asked for more small-group or one-to-one interactions with the classroom teacher.
Isolation. Parents were asked to identify areas of additional need. Emotional support for students was far and away the highest priority for parents. Their added comments highlight the social isolation children are experiencing. Some parents are seeking more resources to address children’s social-emotional needs and mental health as well as more online supervised social interaction opportunities for students. In immediate recognition of the need expressed the ConVal school counseling team reviewed emotional support resources that could be recommended to parents. Lists of those resources are available on the ConVal website through the “Remote Learning” tab at convalsd.net.
Technology Challenges. Another parent concern is for support with the remote learning technology. A low, but important, percentage of families still have problems in connecting to the remote learning platforms and in using the various tools. Comments about technology indicate connectivity issues when multiple family members are online, as well as a need for more information about using digital resources, especially Google Classroom. The convalsd.net “Remote Learning” site has information on use of remote learning tools. Despite our best efforts, which have included deploying hundreds of hotspots from both Verizon and US Cellular, internet access continues to be a challenge for some families. Access to devices is growing, as is the ability to stream videos.
If You Need Help. Superintendent Saunders emphasizes that if a family does not have access to a device or the internet to please reach out; ConVal will work with each family to attempt to resolve access and device issues. Also, if a child is struggling academically or emotionally, she encourages parents to communicate directly with their child’s teacher, school counselor, or the principal for suggestions for help.
As Kimberly Saunders noted in her conclusion, “We Are ConVal, and we are ready, willing, and able to assist you as we wind down our school year.”

Dear South Meadow School Administration, Teachers, Staff, Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Many of you know me, but my name is Tod Silegy, and I am the Athletic Director at South Meadow School.
I am writing this letter to the entire SMS community, but specifically to the 2019-2020 South Meadow School Athletes, Managers, Parents, and Guardians.
I am personally inviting you to the 2019-2020 South Meadow School Virtual Athletic Awards Ceremony. It should be fun! All athletes and managers that played a fall or winter sport for SMS should attend.
The date is May 27th, and the time is 2:00 PM. Please check your email for the copy of this letter with the link to Zoom. (If you can not locate, please contact jbennett@conval.edu for the link.) You can start joining the ceremony at 1:50. Mr. Conway will be letting you in. If you can, one computer only per family please.
This year’s athletic awards ceremony will be a lot different than usual, due to the fact that we cannot hold this GREAT event in the SMS gym. This year I will be the only presenter. I have collected information from each coach on how the team did with highlights, and I will read it to you by sport. In the end I will announce that team’s individual award recipients. When all the teams are recognized I will announce the 8th grade Male and Female Athletes of the Year, and the 8th grade Male and Female Unsung Athletes of the Year.
See you on May 27th at 2:00 PM!
Thank you,
Mr. Sil

The Covid19 Pandemic has thrust the world into a place it hasn’t seen in the lifetimes of our current generations. To see the changes that we are all struggling with is to see a world-down to the family level – that is challenging all of us to re-evaluate where we have been and where we are going.
School districts across the United States are reimagining education to be delivered where there is no physical school, no physical classroom, no physical classroom community. Over the past years, schools have adopted strategies to maximize their ability to deliver the wider world to their students by utilizing the internet and online resources as part of their curriculum. In higher grades, whole courses have been delivered online, offering wider and more flexible selections to students. There was never an expectation that remote learning would replace what communities, families, teachers, and students so highly prize about our physical schools: the classroom community.
The possibility of whole communities being shut down was on the horizon with the news of a new coronavirus ravaging Wuhan, China. On return from February Winter Break, teachers and administrators began work to shift their classroom curriculum to a format that can be delivered remotely. The need to re-translate curriculum began on March 14th, and continues to evolve as the virus has changed how we operate as a community. The first step was for all school staff to prepare materials for a learning menu in reading, writing, math, and unified arts, for use at home in the event of an extended shut down. Classroom lessons had to be translated to a format that could be delivered in a new medium. At this point, everyone was still unsure of what the virus would bring, and were hoping for a two-week hiatus before returning to the school buildings on April 6th. For this three-week period, login information was sent home for any learning platforms currently in use by classrooms. Teachers and administrators engaged in a comprehensive “reformatting” of the traditional classroom. Starting on March 18th (far ahead of many districts) teachers were reformatting and delivering instruction at the same time – flying the plane while building it simultaneously. Schools use technology to enhance curriculum, but research has always confirmed that the most effective and crucial part of education is the relationship between teacher and student. Principals and teachers explored how this connection would be communicated in this all remote world, most importantly for the most vulnerable students – the youngest and special education students.
Many problems had to be solved. Younger children require lots of adult supervision, and require free and outdoors time and exploration that caregivers or parents need to provide. If the parents are trying to work remotely, this creates serious problems. For 2nd-4th graders, they may need help in finding sites, logging on, reading instructions, clicking in the right place, typing answers, staying on task, again, a high degree of parent involvement. ConVal administration worked on two huge tasks: ensuring all students had a computer, and all students had internet access. This became especially crucial as April 6th approached and it was clear that the virus was only getting started, and the shutdown was going to continue. Students in grades 5-12 have a personal Chromebook for use in school, due to foresight of our nine communities in voting for budgets that continuously look forward. Students in grades PreK-4 have access to home computers only if there is a home computer. Internet access is a well-publicized problem for our nine-town school district, and has been the target of planning and legislative efforts over the past five years for a host of reasons – but now the ability to deliver an equitable education depended on the ability to ensure all children who needed one had access to a computer and the internet. The administration, with the cooperation of internet companies, delivered100 + hotspots along with additional Chromebooks and other appropriate technology.
At the same time, the question of how to support children and families who had depended on meals that were delivered in school had to be confronted, a need that became very clear as more and more families lost their jobs and their income. The administration immediately stepped up to develop a program where breakfast and lunch would continue to be put together by our food service contract, and delivered by our school busses.
As the shutdown continues, ConVal continues to learn and adapt. Where the classroom was the predominant platform used to deliver lessons, the new platform had to be constructed from the available remote tools, and lessons rearranged to be effectively delivered on this new platform. The process of moving instruction online is a time consuming and bumpy process: verbal classroom instructions and reinforcement must be clearly written in themes and directions, to be delivered by a third party – the computer. Where any confusion over assignments or lessons could be cleared up immediately, or with a short pull-out, separate time must now be scheduled. Teachers must always provide additional access for instructions, feedback, and follow up. Special education students do not at this point have access to Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, nurses, or their one-on-one aides. Administration is developing compensatory services for those students whose IEP’s require them, ensuring these students will retrieve the progress that they have made, and allowing them to continue progressing.
There are many styles of delivering remote education; teachers must figure out which matches their curriculum and their students. Some classes depend on morning check-in, some are using Google classroom, Zoom for online live classes, and most post office hours when they are available for student questions and help. Online resources must be curated for appropriate content, level, and support to the lesson.
At the same time, there are efforts towards the developing structure and a community environment of their school and classroom. Teachers are constantly assessing and measuring the amount their students are mastering, the level of their engagement. The social-emotional aspect of children feeling secure in their environment is one of the most important underlying facilitators of learning. Online lectures don’t work – teachers must devise other ways for lessons to be delivered. One of the most powerful learning strategies included in every classroom is the ability of students to support and mentor each other. The biggest challenge is creating this online community that will engage and allow collaboration across the class. Other challenges include measuring engagement, managing behavior, and dealing with overloaded platforms. Presentations must be crafted for on-demand relearning or rescheduling.
Classroom environment and curriculum cannot always be transferred online--especially for PreK-through grade 2, and for students with special needs. For those parts of the district that have weak or no bandwidth to support online technology, it's not possible. Students who live in dead zones have no access to the school at all. For those students, the lessons must be translated a third way – hard copy packets. These packets of a day’s lesson must be copied, collated and sent to students on a weekly basis.
ConVal is well-positioned to meet these challenges as they have an administration and teachers who have previously completed work in integrating technology in their curriculum delivery. That is not to minimize the challenge of-overnight-switching from using technology as part of a classroom model to using technology as a classroom. That is a heavy lift, and the work continues as there is no clear end in sight.

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4th-8th this year. Although we have been away from school for a few weeks, we still want to show our teachers how much we appreciate all their hard work during the school year and during this distance learning adventure we've all been on. Let’s show our Conval Teachers and Staff , Coaches , Bus drives and Food Service Workers how much we appreciate them. The teachers and staff would like to see the students doing their school work from home, or making homemade signs and notes to say thank you. We can be creative and send emails, photos and videos to teachers, staff and principals and hold up signs for bus drivers and food service workers during teacher appreciation week. If for some reason you cannot get a picture or video an email note would also go a long way. We all miss school, our classmates and teachers and they all miss us too! A small act of kindness goes a long way. Stay well, stay safe.
A message from A group of Caring Conval Students District-wide

The Administration and School Board are in the process of determining the impacts but, at this time, there are many unknowns. The effects of remote instruction can be increased expenses in some budget lines and potential cost savings in others.
As soon as accurate estimates of these costs and savings are known, they will be communicated to towns and citizens in a timely fashion. Please see this document for details on the budget mechanics as well as some questions and answers regarding potential budget impacts.

The School Board is proud of the many accomplishments of the administration, teachers, and staff members who continue to dedicate themselves to the education of our students in the midst of this pandemic and national emergency.
ConVal employees are working around the clock to keep families and students moving forward. Starting at 5:00 in the morning, meals are being readied for delivery to families on a daily basis. Hard copies of learning materials are being delivered by district school buses. Teachers hold online meetings with students for direct instruction. Regular surveys have been sent out and, based on parent feedback, revisions are continuously made to improve the delivery of instruction.
There is now a website for students and parents who are seeking information and resources while remote learning conditions are in place. You can access it here. The site is continually updated and expanded.
We certainly are all in this together and we appreciate what everyone is doing to make this experience the very best it in can be for our children — our number one priority.
Stay safe and be well!

In the article, Sturges explained that poetry is often not an area of interest for young people because the art form can come across as too academic and intimidating. Sturges' poetry instead is reflective, personal, and often focuses on natural and religious imagery.
The article also contains commentary by ConVal English teacher Jason Lambert on Sturges' work. To read the full Keene Sentinel feature, please click this link.

Good Afternoon,
This afternoon Governor Sununu will hold a press conference related to continuing Remote Learning for the remainder of the school year.
While we know that this announcement does not come as a shock, we also recognize that for many this comes as a disappointment for our students.
The staff has been preparing for the possibility of this decision for some time. We are prepared to continue Remote Learning and will continue to discuss and examine innovative ways to maintain educational services and nutritional services, as well as celebrating milestones.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support through this challenging situation.
Best,
Kimberly

Graduating in the time of pandemic means finding innovative ways to honor grads. With the possibility looming of a very different sort of graduation experience, ConVal High School parents, faculty, and seniors are finding ways to recognize their graduates. Everyone in the CVHS communities is invited to participate in decorating their homes and businesses for a Seniors’ Graduation Celebration Drive Tour.
Families, friends and neighbors across the ConVal district are encouraged to join in the fun by decorating the outside of their homes and businesses the week before Memorial Day Weekend. Graduation signs, balloons, and streamers, Pomp & Circumstance or other inspiring music playing are just some ideas. Be creative! Whether it’s homemade decorations or ordered online, everyone is encouraged to participate in offering well wishes and congratulations to all seniors as their high school careers come to a close and they embark on the next chapter of their lives.
The Drive Tour officially kicks-off Memorial Day Weekend, May 23-25. Seniors and their families will be able to tour their towns to witness all the love and support for them in these trying times.
“Let’s rise together as a community and make this happen! Whether there is a graduation or not, this Celebratory Drive Tour will go on. Our Seniors have missed so much,” said organizer Dot Vaidya, a ConVal High School parent.

April 8, 2020
As our journey with remote learning continues, we will continue with weekly updates.
Today’s mid-week update is to inform you that a decision was made last evening regarding April vacation. After an overwhelming response by parents and staff the administration and the School Board has decided to continue remote learning through the previously scheduled April break week (April 27th- May 1st).
More than two-thirds of parents who responded to the survey opted for this option, as did a large number of staff. Doing this will result in us ending the school year a week early.
The final date of the school year has not yet been determined, as we are waiting for additional information from the Governor and the New Hampshire Department of Education on the continuation of remote learning.
We will share more information later this week on our remote learning, general updates, and resources for parents.
Have a great day!
Best,
Kimberly

Here are guidelines for remote learning. We are all in this together. Just do your best!
Students in Mr. Bowman's class are currently studying World War I. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has variously been declared a "war," students were asked to create posters in the style of World War I public information campaigns.
"The point of this activity is for the students to show they understand the sacrifices that Americans made during World War 1," Mr. Bowman said. "WWI was the first time in history that the entire country mobilized like this. And frankly, we can use it to learn some lessons as we go through a crisis of our own right now."
"Students were asked to use Google Draw or Slides or draw on paper to make a public service poster where they advise Americans what they can do to fight the coronavirus. The poster should compare a sacrifice made during WWI to one we can/should make today."
"Some of the students' posters might seem a little heavy-handed or out of line with contemporary conventions. This is not because the students were being disrespectful. They were trying to use themes and strategies (and in some cases the wording) of World War One posters."
As the varied creative approaches to this activity show, the students were clearly engaged in this assignment!

We had to learn some new protocols, such as stating our name and being recognized by name, so accurate minutes could be taken.
School Board meetings are public as well, so figuring out logistics is a new challenge for everyone.
But these board members, just like the administrators, teachers, parents, and children, are rising to the challenge.

Here are the instructions, in case you want to create your own Bingo group:
Create a 5x5 grid. Put Bingo on top. The children can pick which numbers they want to put in the letter columns, using the following guidelines:
Under B, choose 5 numbers between 1-15, put the numbers in the 5 boxes.
Under I, choose 5 numbers between 16-30, put them in the boxes.
Under N in the middle box, put “free space” and then, in the 4 remaining boxes, chooses 4 numbers between 31-45.
Under G, choose 5 numbers between 46-60, put them in the boxes.
Under O chooses 5 numbers between 61-75, put them in the boxes.
Before the ZOOM-enabled Bingo game began, all the children made their own Bingo cards at home. The parent gave a time, the sign in, called out the numbers, and the fun began!

The results were creative, imaginative, and sincere expressions of school spirit. Many of the snowmen featured Cougar sports teams.
Other snow creations took more unusual routes: From the snowman who looks longingly at the driveway to the N95-masked snowman, from the snow woman taking a bubble bath (including a scented candle) to the impressive Maya pyramid that was an entry specific to the Social Studies department, the photo submissions showed off the full spectrum of student and staff creativity.
Check out the photos below, and thank you all for the submissions!

Good Evening,
I would like to begin with an expression of thanks. We have just finished our first week of remote learning which would never have been possible without the support provided by our ConVal communities. Our technology resources have allowed us to gain a head start in our transition to “remote learning.” We are also fortunate that we can rely on a highly effective and dedicated technology team that allows our teachers to focus on instruction.
As our recent transition to remote learning continues to evolve, I would like to share with you some specific observations that we have made about this process, a significant departure from practices to which our students and staff are accustomed.
Your positive comments have fueled staff members, thank you for showing your appreciation for their hard work. We are grateful for the community's recognition that, with very little notice and in a very short time frame, teachers, staff, and administrators put a plan together to continue learning opportunities, make sure children are fed, and found workarounds for almost every barrier.
Any change, particularly a change of this size, demands that we remain patient, understanding, and cognizant of the fact that all of us are new to this. There is a significant learning curve in this transition because we are accustomed to having face-to-face contact and physical proximity as part of our learning experiences.
Another key factor in ensuring the success of this transformative change is to establish consistent routines to maintain a sense of normalcy. We all carry with us a sense of uncertainty which may make it difficult to engage in learning. Once these new routines are established, we will feel a greater sense of comfort and better able to engage in the learning activities that our teachers are facilitating.
Our teachers have made, and will continue to make, every effort to meet each student’s needs because this is what it means to be a teacher. And, as educators, we are open to hearing your feedback regarding how we can do things better. It will be important to continue to communicate and listen to each other with empathy as we are all facing this crisis together.
We have developed a FAQs page that you can access on the website, we are updating this page regularly as we get new questions from students, parents, and staff.
We are aware that some families are struggling with access, and we are actively working on this every day. If you are struggling with this issue, please reach out to the principal of your student’s school. We continue to update the ConVal website with remote learning resources, please visit often.
As you are all aware, this situation continues to evolve from moment to moment! We are committed to updating you regularly.
Please be aware that when I write to you, it is sent through our messenger service to your email, posted on the webpage, then posted on social media sites — specifically in that order. There are times that because of technology issues, Internet speeds, or messaging priority settings, it appears that all three happen simultaneously or that social media is first.
We hope to be back to school in the not-so-distant future, so we encourage you and your students to practice social distancing. If you are looking for resources on social distancing, what it is and what the effects may be, you can find them here.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or feedback.
Be in touch soon!
Best,
Kimberly

The switch to remote learning at ConVal High School is off to a good start. Some minor glitches were reported but, for the most part, things have been going smoothly.
The following was shared by a mother via email with the title: "This is working!"
"My son is online and working with his math teacher. I’m sure you will be handling a ton of emails but I want you to know that his teacher Ms. Hinton was active, engaged and very helpful in the Google Meet. It was his first of the day and she set the tone for a positive experience."
"Please .. please let these educators know that we are thankful for their energy, positivity and it’s working. We appreciate everyone’s time and effort. Thank you!"

Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders laid out the agenda for Monday and Tuesday which were devoted to working out issues with the switch to remote instruction. Saunders took questions from each of the participating locations which, in some cases, were split into two or more groups in observance of CDC guidelines.
On Wednesday, remote instruction will begin in earnest and will last through April 3. At that time, the situation will be reassessed before next steps are taken.

For Immediate Release
March 16th, 2020
RE: NHIAA Updates
While it was the intention of the NHIAA to play the remaining games left in the tournaments, given the guidelines specified by Governor Sununu, the NHDHHS, and the CDC in response to the escalating public health issue, this plan is no longer feasible. Because of this, the NHIAA has made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the 2020 Winter Tournament events.
We recognize that this decision will be a disappointment to our student-athletes, coaches, and fans; yet given the uncertain nature of the weeks to come, we feel that there is no alternative. The NHIAA shares in the frustrations of our student-athletes, yet we hope this decision will allow them to move forward and adjust to the new normal of their educational experience for the next several weeks. A decision will be made later this week on how to best recognize State Champions in tournaments that were cancelled.
Regarding spring sports, as Governor Sununu has issued guidance for schools to be closed until April 3rd, the start of the spring season will be delayed. As of now, the first date to practice spring sports will be Monday, April 13th, 2020. The first date to play will be Monday, April 27th, 2020. We will closely monitor developments with the COVID-19 pandemic and should we need to adjust these dates, we will do so as necessary. It is our intention to hold open tournaments at the end of the regular season for each division.
As stated last week, we ask for everyone’s patience, cooperation, and understanding as we navigate these uncharted waters. The NHIAA will keep its member schools updated on any further developments. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we join the effort to plateau the spread of COVID-19 in New Hampshire.

RE: 2020 NHIAA Winter Tournament Events
Relying on the best information available from the New Hampshire Department of Health and the New Hampshire Department of Education, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) has decided to allow the state basketball, hockey tournament, and spirit championships to continue under the following conditions:
During these difficult times, the NHIAA is committed to allowing teams to finish out their seasons. Our students have worked very hard and we owe this to them. Unfortunately, because of this escalating health issue, the NHIAA must limit the number of spectators who are able to attend. We request that anyone exhibiting signs and symptoms of illness refrain from attending.
Our fans and community support are an essential part of the high school experience; however, in light of the recommendations and the conditions existing in our country, we ask for everyone’s patience, cooperation and understanding. Anyone who has purchased tickets online will receive a full refund.
The NHIAA will continue to keep its member schools updated on any further changes.

Good evening,
I would like to follow up on my email from last night regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and its potential impact on the ConVal School District.
As you may have heard, some schools have had closures due to the evolving nature of COVID-19. Staff have been working diligently to prepare for the unlikely case that the ConVal District may have to close schools.
If this happens, we are prepared to implement remote instruction. Earlier today, the state school board passed an emergency rule change to ED306.18 that will allow schools to use remote learning as a means to deliver instruction to students.
In the event of a closure, ConVal District middle and high school teachers will provide remote instruction via Google Classroom and the students’ district-issued Chromebooks.
What does this mean?
We realize that these measures may be disruptive. Please be assured that we would take this step out of an abundance of caution and in order to protect the health and well-being of the ConVal community.
Please refer to the district website for further updates. Additional details will be shared as soon as they become available.
Thank you in advance for your flexibility. We appreciate your understanding as we respond to this rapidly evolving situation.
Best,
Kimberly

Good evening,
As we continue to proactively plan for a possible school closure due to the COVID-19 virus, Classroom teachers, School Counselors, Nurses, Special Education Case Managers, Service Providers and Paraprofessionals have been collaborating to prepare materials and learning menus in reading, writing, math, and unified arts with activities for students to use while home in the event of an extended closure.
These resources will be shared in the coming days via email, teacher websites, and in hard copy sent home with your child; please check their backpacks daily.
Additionally, teachers will send home relevant login information for students to access any online learning platforms they currently use in the event of a closure.
In the event of a closure staff will be available via email to answer questions and provide support for all students, including any students with 504 or Individual Education Plans.
As always our priority is student learning and these resources are intended to provide practice and skill maintenance of previously learned material.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your building principal.
Best,
Kimberly

Good Evening,
I want to begin by thanking the District for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools by passing the 2020-2021 District budget. I appreciated hearing from the many parents and community members who reached out today to share thoughts about the budget process and its positive outcome.
Some parents have also reached out to share their concerns about the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and have asked if the District has additional information to share. Administrators and staff continue to plan for the unlikely case that we have to close schools. This work has included: surveying students and parents about Internet access and making sure that older students can access logins for online learning and instructional programs. We are also creating communications about student and staff expectations should we have to implement remote learning opportunities.
At this time, there has been no indication of exposure in our District schools or communities. We continue to be in contact with local and state health officials to ensure that we have up-to-date information in order to make informed decisions.
We recognize that this is an unprecedented situation for all of us. Please be assured that we are committed to the health and safety of your students, our staff, and our community. I share your concerns on both a personal and professional level.
We will continue to update our website with information at https://convalsd.net/covid-19-coronavirus-information/. In addition, I will continue to communicate directly with you as the need arises. As always, do not hesitate to reach out to me, and I will do my best to be timely in my response.
Best,
Kimberly

The skiers braved challenging conditions as sunshine alternated with snow squalls and wind gusts up to fifty miles per hour on the 4 kilometer course.
The team fared very well despite the weather, placing two skiers in the top ten and medaling one skier in the skimeister category. Allison Bull came in 8th overall in the girls classical race, and Jaimini Viles placed 9th in the freestyle (skate) race, earning each a ticket to the Meet of Champions where the top skiers from all four divisions in the state will compete against each other in a skiathlon.
Meanwhile, Logan Burnham’s performance in both the morning classical race and the afternoon skate competition earned him second place overall as a Division II skimeister. Skimeisters compete all season in both downhill and cross country disciplines, and the final place order is determined by combining times from the slalom, giant slalom, freestyle, and classical races in the Alpine and Nordic state meets.
Scoring for ConVal in the boys morning classical race were Viles, captain and senior Rowan Inglis, Avery Pope, Philip Pope, Burnham, and Sam Rousseau. On the girls side, Bull was followed by captain Cami Hendrixson, Eva Calcutt, Abby Hendrixson, Margot Kratzenberg, and Isabel Badrawy. In the afternoon skate competition, Viles led the way followed by Ingliis, Avery Pope, Lewis Carlton, Burnham, and Rousseau. On the girls side, Bull was the first Cougar to cross the finish line, leading Calcutt, Cami Hendrixson, Gwen Inglis, Abby Hendrixson, and Eme Tyler-Wall.
Viles and Bull, also members of the NH U16 team, plan to compete in the Meet of Champions scheduled to be held on Tuesday afternoon March 10, 4 PM, at the Dublin Nordic Center.

Dear ConVal Community,
Today District administrators have been in contact with both local and state health officials from Monadnock Community Hospital and the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NHDHHS). Through these offices and based on the most current information from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we have closely monitored the communities’ status related to the coronavirus (COVID-19).
District administrators and response teams met today and began planning for the potential impact of COVID-19. We have begun short-term and long-term planning related to students, staff, and facilities. This includes maintaining and expanding cleaning protocols, developing plans for students who may need to be out of school for extended periods of time, and creating educational plans in the highly unlikely case of school closures. We have also put together a communications team which will provide daily updates through our district website as well as urgent updates through email or phone calls, if necessary.
In our earlier communications, we provided links to find updated information related to COVID-19. We have developed a webpage where updated information as well as letters and updates specific to the ConVal School District can be found https://convalsd.net/covid-19-coronavirus-information/. I want to assure you that urgent updates will be sent to families via School Messenger.
Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our schools and community, we are having students, that we are aware of, who traveled to affected areas remain home from school for 14 days. Additionally, we have asked staff who have traveled to areas of concern that they remain at home. If your family or your student(s) have traveled to other locations of concern, please contact their building principal. If your student is displaying symptoms, please have them stay home and contact your local healthcare provider.
It bears repeating that the COVID-19 situation is rapidly developing, and therefore new protocols and information may appear daily. For the most up-to-date information, you can also visit:

I want to continue to emphasize that, as of the writing of this letter, there are no presumptive or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Hampshire. Be assured, as the District receives more information, we will update you as quickly and effectively as possible.
Over the weekend, I have been in contact with The Grand Monadnock Youth Choirs Italy trip coordinator as well as the parents of the talented young singers from ConVal who traveled to Italy to perform. This was not a ConVal sponsored event so communication regarding the trip and the members return needed to be coordinated. The choir did not travel to any areas in Italy that are presently impacted by COVID-19 nor do their members show any symptoms of being in anyway ill. Nonetheless, in conjunction with The Grand Monadnock Youth Choirs, the decision has been made that those that traveled to Italy will remain at home tomorrow to give the School District and The Grand Monadnock Youth Choirs the opportunity to review the latest information and coordinate with State and local health officials.
The ConVal School District continues to follow closely the information being shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the New Hampshire Bureau of Infectious Disease. As we have new information from these organizations, we will update our plans, procedures, and protocols in the best interest of our communities’ health and safety. Additionally, as we become aware of families, students, and staff who have traveled abroad to any countries under the COVID-19 travel advisory, we will work closely with them related to both attendance and education.
I will send out another update tomorrow when I have additional information. If you have questions or concerns in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out either through email, ksaunders@conval.edu or by calling 603-924-3336 ext. 2028.

With the ConVal Band playing during breaks in the action, students, faculty, and staff cheered on both the ConVal and the Keene High School Unified Basketball teams.
Both teams had terrific scoring stretches throughout the game, with three-point scores and under-the-basket shots. The Cougars, under the leadership of coaches Kevin Carne, Dick Ellingwood, and Gil Morris, came away with a winning score of 69:58 after a buzzer-beating basket by Myles Clough.
All of the ConVal players had an outstanding game. Perhaps most importantly, both teams demonstrated true sportsmanship on many occasions throughout the game.
After the victory celebration, the ATC robotics team gave a presentation of its remote-controlled robots that shot balls and T-shirts into the crowd.
What a terrific way to end the season!

McCall won with a pair of successful speeches, one on the principle of no taxation without representation and the second on an assigned topic, which for McCall was the 20th Amendment.
ConVal High School was represented by three students at the competition which included students from Merrimack and Milford high schools. Garrick Colby spoke on “The Bulwarks of Tyranny” while Daniel McCall, Liam’s younger brother who is a freshman this year, delivered a speech on civil liberties.
The mission of the American Legion Oratorical Contest is to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students. Speaking subjects must be on some aspect of the U.S. Constitution.
The competition is held in two rounds. The first set of speeches involves orations on a constitutional topic and are eight to ten minutes long. In addition, contestants prepare four three- to five-minute speeches on four different constitutional amendments and must be ready to speak on all of them. One of these “assigned topic” speeches is then chosen for presentation at the contest.
With his win at the District 2 American Legion Oratorical Contest, his second in a row, McCall advances to the state-level contest at St Anselm’s College which will be held on March 7.

Springtime brings new life back to us here in the Northeast — and time to vote on a new school budget. On March 10th, voters in the nine communities of the ConVal School District will vote on the warrant that dictates the school district budget. As we prepare to think about this annual decision, it’s always important to consider what’s at stake.
The nine communities are justly proud of the education that they have been able to provide for families who live in the ConVal District. The administration and school board work hard to look to the future and ensure we are preparing our students to work and thrive, and keep New Hampshire growing and healthy — a state where the children we are educating will be proud to live and raise their own families.
What does it take to ensure these opportunities continue? A good and fair budget, for one, that carefully manages resources raised by taxation against the diverse needs of the nine towns; and most importantly, a belief that we are making an investment in our communities, our families, our children, together. It is not an easy decision for many of us, as it can involve some considerable sacrifice when it comes to the tax bill.
The administration and school board regularly struggle with the complexity of running the district. We want to make sure that your questions are answered. The Budget and Property Committee developed a comprehensive explanation of how the budget is developed, how the budget translates to your tax bill. ”A School Budget Primer: Understanding School Budget Preparation, Methodology and the Impact on Property Taxes” was distributed at the first Deliberative Session on February 4th. The primer also reviews the 2020-21 warrant articles and explains the school board’s position on those articles and can be found on the ConVal website within the Budget Digest Resource page. You can also click the banner at the top of the ConVal School District website which directs you to the budget information.
If you have questions that aren’t answered on the website, please contact your school board representative, whose contact information is available on the website as well. We hope that you will vote “yes” on the operating budget, and the recommended articles.
You will also receive a flyer in the mail that explains the warrant and its articles. It will direct you to the ConVal website for budget information. It is our intention to be as transparent as possible, and provide the information that will help you understand the district operations. You can find all ConVal School District budget information here.
Default budgets are implemented when the proposed operating budget fails to win voter approval. Before you vote, here are some facts to consider about the ConVal budget:
• For the past eight years, ConVal administration and Board have held the operating budget to 1% annual increases, sometimes less than .5%. This was due to a variety of cost-saving measures: changing health insurance plans, cost-sharing the health insurance with district staff, postponing capital improvements (high school parking lot!!!), using trust funds to cover what would normally appear in the budget, staff decreases, redistributing staff responsibilities. Last year was the exception, when a combination of reduced state funding and increased mandatory expenditures increased the operating budget by 1.8%. This year is another increase: 2.23%. This increase in the 2020-21 operating budget is due primarily to the need for long-deferred capital improvements and the second year of the teacher contract — which we support and believe to be necessary and fair.
• At the same time, the administration and Board managed to keep the operating budget increase to a minimum in past years, the budget met its contractual obligations, including transportation, new teacher contracts; continued to ensure student safety and excellence in education the taxpayers count on by implementing security measures, continuing with curriculum review, professional development and implementation, implementation of ever-growing state and federal statutory requirements, and finally, ever-decreasing local state education investment. The state has recently convened an education funding task force, partly due to the will of our legislature, and partly due to several school districts’ lawsuit (one of whom is ConVal). The past year was a single year of some funding relief, which in the ConVal district went back to the nine communities. This should be reflected in your tax bill.
• When you see the difference between the operating budget and the increase in your education property tax — it is primarily due to decreased enrollment due to our local demographics, and the shrinking state funds. What the state chooses not to pay, the local taxpayer must make up. Please consider the budget-cutting that has gone on for the last five years in the interest of keeping your property tax increase to a minimum — and understand the current increases in that light: there are now no more places to cut. The 2.23 % increase in the operating budget reflects the Board and the administration’s effort to keep the district moving forward towards its goals of excellence for every child, and fiscal responsibility.
If the budget fails, we must implement a default budget. When it comes to the default budget, the biggest problem is the lack of places to go to cut. Everything that could be cut, that would not significantly affect the education our district children receive, has been cut in previous years. (This is now the new normal.) The default budget will require $1,422,487 in cuts to the 2020-21 budget.
In anticipation of this possible event, the Board requested the administration to develop a list of possible cuts. The administration offered this list in a series of five tiers: the first tier being the farthest from student impact on education to the closest and most impactful in tier five. The reality is that in order to meet the $1.5 million in cuts, we will have to go deep into tier four, and even some cuts from tier five.
If the default budget must go into place, the Board will work with the administration to identify the list of items selected for cuts from the 2020-2021 budget, and these will be eliminated before the year begins.
We hope you will vote to support the school budget. Thank you.

De Lappe was a MacDowell Colony Fellow in the fall of 2019 and visited with students at ConVal in November.
The Wolves takes place in an indoor soccer facility where members of a soccer squad — "The Wolves" — go trough warmup routines and stretching exercises while discussing personal relationships, popular culture topics, politics, and the lives of some of the adults with whom they interact.
Each of the girls is identified only by their jersey number, a reflection of both their intensely cultivated team identity and the incurious anonymity of the high school life that surrounds them. Throughout the play, which takes place over several weeks in the soccer season leading up to the final game, each team member struggles to assert her individuality while also being part of a group.
The Wolves was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the Yale Drama Series Prize, and received the American Playwriting Foundation's inaugural Relentless Award.

Seniors Evan Shippee, Theo Cross, and manager Evan Sussman were all honored before the duals.
Evan Shippee performed solidly and racked up two pins to capstone his career at home. Theo Cross had an exciting come-from-behind victory, pinning his opponent after falling behind 13-2.
On Saturday, February 22nd, the Cougars will be in Pelham for the D3 State Tournament. ConVal will have 13 of the 14 weight classes filled and have an outside shot at bringing home some team hardware in a division that is expected to be dominated by perennial powers Bow and Plymouth Regional.

The financial demands placed on local schools to maintain high-quality education plays out as taxpayers worry about affordability.
Why are we facing increasing tax rates to fund our schools at the local level? A driving force is New Hampshire lawmakers are downshifting school costs through unfunded mandates. This issue is the same for all of the 221 towns and 13 cities in New Hampshire. In addition, Federal laws which must be followed compound these costs as Federal grants do not fully cover the requirements necessary for compliance.
An unfunded mandate occurs when a new piece of state or federal legislation requires the school district to perform functions without providing funding, or adequate funding, to facilitate the requirement. The 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution leaves the responsibility for public K-12 education with the states. Each school district is administered and financed by the local community along with that district's state government. The New Hampshire Constitution guarantees an “adequate education” for all citizens of the state. The New Hampshire Constitution does not specify who is financially responsible for this guarantee. When the state or federal legislature passes a new law without funding, any increases in cost that result from complying with the unfunded mandate becomes part of the local school budget. Standards and quality of education consequently vary widely from state to state and even district to district. The local district is either supported or limited by its budget. The budget is dictated by what local taxpayers will approve.
Because of the increased awareness in disparity, during the 1960s compelling interest in our nation’s public schools was addressed by the Federal Government through the legislative process creating laws and providing assistance to states and schools through educational grants to enact these laws. Federal Education laws that are most commonly known are the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title I, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Every Student Succeeds Act (Common Core). These laws authorize federal grants for elementary and secondary school programs for children of low-income families; school library resources, textbooks and other instructional materials; supplemental education centers and services; strengthening state education agencies; education research; and professional development for teachers. While these federal grants provide support for their mandates, they do not cover the entire cost. The remaining cost must be covered by the state and local taxes. As the local school budget is built, all federal mandates must be met.
As far as New Hampshire State Education mandates and the effect they have on the local school budget you need only to turn to the local news to become apprised of the disparity in education funding occurring in New Hampshire and the impact it has on the local tax. Many of the educational laws passed by New Hampshire legislature and changes made to standards that come from the Department of Education are well intended to promote student success, but these laws do not, in many cases, come with any additional funding. An example of a state unfunded mandate is the 2016 New Hampshire K-12 STEM curriculum requirements. The requirements proposed will produce more skilled workers, inspire innovation, increase New Hampshire business growth and affect the New Hampshire economy. There is certainly a valid return on this educational investment. However, only a fraction of the additional funding needed to meet the new State STEM standards was provided to the schools and the result: The local property tax must increase to comply with the New Hampshire K-12 STEM initiative.
The administrators in the ConVal School District work year-round to produce all of the financial data necessary to analyze a “ConVal” education. The administration carefully checks off the right boxes on accounting and compliance reports required by the State and the Federal government to assure accuracy in crafting a fiscally sound budget. Detailed financial analysis is compiled to monitor and evaluate each school building’s expenditures. The focus of the Superintendent and the School Board is the classroom where the critical work happens and where the allocation of funds and resources provides services that affect student performance.
In summary, local schools are required to comply with federal and state-mandated laws. While federal and state laws’ express purposes are to raise achievement for all students and to close the achievement gap, the additional funding needed to translate laws or requirements into a classroom reality is not provided. The looming question as to whether or not the funding is adequate to accomplish the laws’ purpose has become clear and yet the funding issue remains unanswered by Washington lawmakers and the New Hampshire legislature. The growing reality for New Hampshire residents and businesses is that the burden falls on the local tax base to make up the difference. The ConVal School District is compelled to sustain high education standards and build a budget that supports those standards and student success. Residents can be assured that every local tax dollar spent in the ConVal School District is a closely monitored resource invested in a quality education for our students and our future.

Currently associated with Antrim Elementary, Greenfield Elementary, and Peterborough Elementary School, the plan is to expand the preschool program in two phases over the next two years.
Phase 1 is planned for the 2020-2021 school year and will extend the existing First Friends programs to a full-day, five-days-a-week program for four-year-olds. During Phase 2, planned for the 2021-2022 school year, the expanded program will provide preschool education to all four-year-olds in the district.
The primary goal of the expansion of the pre-school program is to ensure that all four-year-old children will have access to high-quality early childhood education.
The district-wide focus on equity was also a strong consideration. The goal is to create learning environments and conditions in which all students can learn and succeed, regardless of their geographic location in the district, economic status, or whether or not they have a disability.
For more on the Preschool For All program, please see the handout here.

Students scheduled themselves to this opportunity and were free to explore, with the assistance of librarians Rachael Bowman and Ashley Jones, a variety of coding-related activities. They either followed activity-related instructions or were free to experiment with coding on their own.
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science.
The coding events have since become a concerted, worldwide effort to celebrate computer science. Last year, more than 130,000 Hour of Code events were conducted in over 180 countries.

Saunders began the presentation by explaining the procedural, financial, and programmatic assumptions on which the proposed budget was based and then addressed the central questions that guided the budget building process at the elementary school, middle school, and high school levels.
Another segment of the presentation was devoted to a preview of the proposed budget by object code. Saunders explained the projected levels of revenues from local, state, and federal sources and the expected expenditures in personnel costs (salaries and benefits), professional and technical services, as well as property and materials expenses.
The final portion of the presentation was devoted to a discussion of the default budget and the cuts that would be triggered if the budget does not get approved by voters at the March meeting. The cuts were grouped into five levels of priority, from those with low impact on core functions and district operations to those that would seriously affect instructional delivery, athletics programs, and co-curriculars.
Staff had the opportunity to ask questions about the proposed budget, the budget building process, and the expected consequences of the default budget.

We will be using a nationally validated school climate survey to measure how students, families, and staff perceive the school climate at ConVal.
The student survey will be given to students on March 16 during homeroom TASC and will take approximately 5-10 minutes. All responses are anonymous and results will only be reported as group responses. Our plan is to reissue the surveys in the future and use the information to assess change.
Written parent/guardian permission is required to give the student survey. If you would like to review the survey, it is available on the school website or upon request in the main office. Please call or email the main office with any questions.
Paper copies of this permission form will be distributed during homeroom TASC on Monday, January 27. All forms, regardless of permission given, should be returned to homeroom TASC teachers by Monday, February 10.

Visit our Google site for details and make sure to visit Cast 98 to sign up for an audition!
All Shook Up is a crowd-pleasing musical that was inspired by and features the songs of Elvis Presley. It’s 1955 and into a square little town, in a square little state, rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy that will have you jumping out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”
In addition to the singing and acting roles, there are opportunities for students to participate in lights, sound, costumes, props, sets, etc. While no prior experience is required, please read the ConVal Theatre Arts Expectations.

The ConVal School District Administration began the process to develop our next budget last summer. The proposed budget was approved by the School Board on January 7th. The Deliberative Session Part I is scheduled for 6:00 pm on February 4th at the ConVal High School gym. Part II (voting) will be conducted on March 10 in the respective Town Halls.
The proposed gross budget is $50,565,103 – a 1.87% increase over the current school year. The School Board website contains a lot of information.
The ongoing challenges associated with minimizing increases in our operating budget and providing a quality education show no signs of abating. These include, but are not limited to, unfunded federal and state mandates, inadequate state funding for education, aging infrastructure, and well-deserved increases in staff salaries and benefits.
Hopefully, the NH state commission looking at education funding that recently started work will come up with some equitable and innovative options to reduce the burden on property taxes.
These challenges are in addition to our slow but steady decline in enrollment – which raises the following perennial questions: why isn’t the budget going down instead of up? How long can the District maintain our current “one high school, two middle schools, and eight elementary schools” model? When is “small too small”? The answers are not easy and are beyond the scope of this article, but the questions remain valid and will continue to be discussed for the foreseeable future. No decisions have been made and no schools have been “targeted”. We’re simply doing our jobs by looking at alternatives in the event we reach the point where we’ll need to bring a proposal to the voters.
Of more immediate concern is the need to address our aging infrastructure. We’re working on a long-range plan that will likely include a proposed infrastructure bond for voter consideration next year and, hopefully, subsequent partial compensation through NH state “Building Aid” for which we recently submitted our application.
The 2020-21 Capital Improvement Plan includes $1.22M worth of projects. We’re proposing several options to fund these: the operating budget ($0.08M) and more aggressive use of our Capital and Athletic Trust Funds ($1.14M). Note: The plan did include a proposed warrant article for additional appropriations (a $0.54M “paving” Warrant Article) but the Board subsequently decided to defer until next year.
The proposed budget also includes an expansion of our current pre-K program at three schools. This will allow additional students to attend and will include an all-day program for 4-year-olds.
There will be a warrant article regarding a new long-term solar power project for installation on the high school property. While the savings expected to be achieved won’t solve the larger District issues mentioned above, voter approval of this project will allow the broader CONVAL community to demonstrate our commitment to the broader global challenge associated with climate change.
The Board and Administration will continue to work to deliver a quality education at reasonable cost. We encourage your participation in both the discussions at the Deliberative Session Part I and in voting on March 10.

Low snowfall this season prevented the skiers from having any practices in this style of cross country racing so far this season, but the veteran team members did well nevertheless.
Allison Bull led the Cougar girls by securing a place in the top 10 women. She was closely followed by co-captain Cami Hendrixson and Eva Calcutt.
Also crossing the finish line for the Conval women were Abby Hendrixson, Gwen Inglis, Eme Tyler-Wall, Grace Phillips, and Isabel Badrawy. Scoring at the top of the Cougar boy line up was Jaimini Viles, followed by Philip Pope, Avery Pope, and Lewis Carlton.
ConVal will host its home meet this Saturday at the Dublin Nordic Center.

Chemically speaking, freezing point depression involves the intentional decrease of the freezing point of a solvent following the addition of a non-volatile solute. Common examples include salt in water and alcohol in water.
When road crews spread a salt (calcium chloride) on icy roads to melt ice, they help transform water from its frozen, solid state into a more liquid state, rendering roads safer for driving.
Another practical application is windshield washer fluid which benefits from the addition of ethylene glycol to help prevent the dangerous re-freeze of the sprayed fluid on the cold surface of a car's windshield.
Perhaps the most widespread, daily application of the chemistry in freezing point depression is radiator fluid, where antifreeze is added to the cooling system. A solution of 60% antifreeze and 40% water will produce a freeze protection of up to -55˚ C. For best overall performance, a 50% solution is commonly used for engine protection in temperatures between -35˚C and 108˚C.
In a number of lab activities, students added different solutes to pure liquids to ascertain how these solutes would lower the freezing point. They created five test solutions in beakers and set up a "deep chill" bath using dry ice. Using USB-connected Vernier temperature sensors and the Lab Quest data collection system of their Chromebooks, students then recorded data as temperatures dropped and crystallization of the solution could be observed.
The photos below show students during different stages of the experiments.

With the help of some parent volunteers, the non-partisan "Get Out The Vote" team seeks to motivate first-time voters to participate in the upcoming New Hampshire primary and presidential election.
For a representative democracy to function, it is essential that government reflect the interests of all of its people, including those who are of high school age. But despite making up a large potential voting bloc in the country today, Generation Z voters are underrepresented at both the state and federal level.
In the coming weeks, the "Get Out The Vote" group will provide information on how to register in any of the nine ConVal School District towns. Look for them in the hallway in front of the cafeteria during lunches.

Following are a sampling of some of the areas on which we have focused our attention.
At the high school level, based on a review of the math department courses and requirements, the Board recognized the need to enhance the math offerings, by requiring that all students participate in math classes until they pass both parts of Algebra as a graduation requirement. Support services to enable all students to meet this goal are being developed and implemented.
Following a review of our counseling services and current programs, our administrators and staff look to expand programming of our K-12 school counseling program with one area of focus centered on how we can better support students who have experienced trauma.
At the middle school level, following a review of the educational programs and practices at both buildings, staff and administrators reported out the results of the inquiry groups which had been investigating effective and innovative middle school teaching practices, and issues of equity in the middle school opportunities available in both buildings.
As our declining enrollment impacts our instructional programs at some of our elementary schools, multi-grade classes have been used to address under-enrolled classes; however, the use of multi-age has been investigated and is being piloted at our schools in Dublin and in Francestown. Based on the initial reporting out of their programs, the Board is continuing to explore this approach for its potential benefit to our students.
One of our Board Goals is to institute Universal Preschool in the District. Following a review of current programs and practices and the need for these services, our administrative team and teachers are proposing to expand our current half-day program to a full-time program for four-year-old students in the District. The proposed budget for 2020-21 includes funds to implement Phase I of this new program.
As we look to the future, know that the Education Committee is committed to providing our all our students and professional staff with the educational programs and resources which they need to develop their individual skills and abilities.

The Deliberative Session, or District Meeting Part I, is dedicated to discussions and amendments to the proposed budget. The second is the Voting Session that determines whether district voters support or decline the proposed budget.
On Tuesday, February 4th, 2020, the ConVal School Board will conduct the Deliberative Session on its 2020-2021 Budget and Warrant Articles in the ConVal High School Gymnasium, beginning at 6:00 pm. The snow date for this event is Thursday, February 6th, 2020.
The Deliberative Session is conducted for the purpose of discussing, debating, and possibly amending the budget and warrant articles. This session determines the final form of the proposed budget. For example, an appropriation article can be amended from one amount of money to a different amount. Once agreement on all elements of the budget has been reached, the proposal is finalized to appear on the March ballot.
In the second or Voting Session, voters in all nine district towns either endorse or decline the proposed operating budget. Voting by ballot will take place on Tuesday, March 10th, 2020 in each town’s designated polling place.
Should the proposed budget fail in the official ballot referendum on March 10th, a "default budget" will be enacted. While the default budget is typically lower than the proposed budget, it will likely result in position cuts and loss of educational opportunities for students.

The mission of the School Board Communication Committee is to:
At the January 7th ConVal School Board budget hearing, Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders presented the proposed budget for the 2020-2021 school year. The administration and the School Board have been working on the budget for the last several months and have been discussing, refining, and revising it to reach this final proposed version.
The ConVal School District budget is based on a set of assumptions for the next fiscal year which fall into one of three main categories:
Procedural assumptions are those that continue to support the mission, vision, and values of the District. These assumptions include referencing ConVal class size guidelines, annual reviews of Special Education caseloads, and the potential reallocation of existing resources.
Financial assumptions primarily deal with fixed costs. They include items such as collective bargaining agreements, contractual obligations, health insurance costs, utilities, and legal obligations.
Programmatic assumptions deal with curriculum, the continuum of services for identified students, community education programs, as well as technology investments and upgrades.

The scenario had groups of four students fulfill different jobs of an ad agency: account executive, creative director, layout artist, and copywriter. The fictional company was a hair replacement company with the name of "Hair Apparent."
Each member of the group contributed work to the final presentation which covered the designs of the logo, a business card, letterhead, and stationery. In addition, a print ad had to be created that had to adhere to specific space and content requirements.
After the student presentations, the work was critiqued by fellow students and Mr. Bills provided expert feedback. An overall "account winner" was determined in each of the two Graphic Design 1 classes.

There is no time like the holidays to work with children. Even our oldest students get excited about the holiday. While our younger students anticipate the magic associated with the season, many of our oldest students anticipate the break and the additional time spent skiing, snowboarding, or simply spending time with family and friends and, of course, sleeping in.
As I reflect on another calendar year passing, I am able to appreciate how fortunate we are as a community. We have so many things in our District to be proud of, but recently as I was walking through our hallways here at the SAU, I was overcome by the incredible generosity of our District. There were so many donations for families in need that it was difficult to get down the hall! We easily had 500 winter coats, not to mention boots, snow pants, clothes for all ages, and toys and toys and toys and toys. Thank you to all who donated to help our local families provide a wonderful holiday for our students.
Two Super Quick Surveys
Calendar for the 2020-2021 School Year
I would like to ask you to complete this brief survey to give me direct feedback about the school calendar. Just click here to participate. This will enable me to look at some themes and come up with some specific options for the calendar. I will let you know what I learn in my next post!
Communication and Engagement
Last year, I hosted Superintendent Brown Bag Lunches. Unfortunately, attendance was low and while I appreciated and learned a lot from the people I met with, I am hoping that you will complete this quick survey regarding ways that you would like to communicate and engage with the District by clicking here.
Wishing you a peaceful, safe, and joyful holiday season!
Best,
Kimberly Rizzo Saunders

By acting out scenes from the play and getting notes on the characters' motivation, students were able to get a deeper understanding of Shakespeare's writings.
McGregor, who is from Great Britain, taught theatre at St. Paul's School until earlier this year and now is the Director of the Parker School of Drama in Concord.
MacGregor is a classically-trained actor with almost two decades of experience as an actor, theatre director, and teacher. He holds a Masters in Advanced Teaching of Shakespeare, a course taught by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and is one of just three graduates with Distinction. He has directed almost 80 productions, including national and international tours, and is a Life Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
MacGregor's theatre workshop was conducted as an in-school field trip in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre during TASC and Block 3.

Students, a mix of novice and more experienced coders, scheduled themselves to this special event during TASC. Librarian Ashley Jones introduced a variety of coding-related activities and online tutorials. Students were free to choose and explore any of the activities, with computer teacher Gil Morris serving as a faculty resource.
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science.
The coding events have since become a concerted, worldwide effort to celebrate computer science. This year, 132,685 Hour of Code events were registered in over 180 countries.

They shared how they are personally engaged in raising mental health and suicide awareness and how they try to inspire students to show greater empathy and kindness to one other at school.
Rosie Crooker (junior), Cruz Dellasanta (senior), and Hannah Doherty (senior) organized the Yellow Tulip Project with the support of the Peterborough Garden Club. The Yellow Tulip Project addresses the stigma surrounding mental illness and seeks to build a community of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together.
9th graders Callie Boisvert and Abbey Shumway organized the "Break The Silence" 5K race for suicide prevention. The fundraiser brought in over $1,500 that will be donated to the New Hampshire chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Senior Catrina Kipka was the driving force behind the plan to bring motivational speaker James Orrigo to ConVal in the spring of 2020. Orrigo performs under the stage name Lad in a Battle and seeks to inspire students to live purposefully through service to others.

In collaboration with the AES PTO, the AES staff joined in the festivities by hosting a night of literary fun. Each classroom had a book theme with interesting activities. Guests were excited to make potions in the Harry Potter room, read to therapy dogs in the Elephant & Piggy room, solve puzzles in the mystery room, and exercise around New England. The book fair in the library was equally as exciting as the Italian pizza feast in the multi-purpose room. AES is an enthusiastic learning community!

This survey link asks questions about your general perception of CTE programs.
CTE courses range from accounting to agriculture, from visual and performing arts to welding, and everything in between (for full details, please see this Career and Technical Education Program grid).
In fact, CTE also supports students down to grade 5 with career exploration activities and resources!
The CTE center that serves students in the Conant, ConVal, and Mascenic school districts is the Region 14 Applied Technology Center. CTE, formerly known as voc-tech, gives students real-world, hands-on experience in a variety of employment fields and offers opportunities for dual credit courses. Industry-recognized credentials can give students an advantage after graduation.
Despite the proven indicators of CTE success – 95 percent of 2017 CTE graduates are employed, in college, or serving in the military – there is always room for enrollment growth, so we hope that you help us improve by taking this survey.
Please choose questions that are appropriate for the way you identify yourself for the survey.

Hull will head to Washington in late January and will stay in D.C. until June, attending school and working as a Page in the United States Senate.
The Senate Page Program is a great opportunity for high school students to get involved in government service, see the legislative process in action, and experience life in our nation's capital.
Living away from home and attending school with students from around the country allows Pages to experience a myriad of new ideas, perspectives, and issues. As students work with some of the nation's most prominent leaders and witness the political process firsthand, they learn from many interesting and challenging experiences.
There are thirty Page positions available each semester to serve the one hundred Members of the Senate. Because of the number of interested students, the selection process is very competitive.
For more on the Page program, please visit the websites for either Senator Jeanne Shaheen or Senator Maggie Hassan.

Rhett is a student in Mr. Bills’ Graphic Design 1 class.
This year, the Lantern Parade will be held on Saturday, December 7, as part of Peterborough’s Hometown Holiday Weekend.
The Peterborough Lantern Parade was inspired by the festival of lights tradition in England. Last year, over 800 lanterns were made in community art workshops and over 1,000 people participated in the parade, including local musicians and those who had made their own lanterns at home.
This year, the Children and the Arts committee, school art teachers and other volunteers have been working with area schools throughout the fall to create lanterns during art classes to use during the parade.
For a brief video on the lantern-making work, see this short video featuring Terry Reeves.

On behalf of the entire staff, I want to thank the members of the community who have reached out to support our District. The outpouring of emails, phone calls, and personal visits has been a model of kindness and compassion for all of us. Responding to a crisis is done on a case-by-case situation, dependent on what school and community is most affected by the incident, what is most developmentally appropriate for the students involved, and what we are able to share with students, staff, and community members. Balancing this, in conjunction with the desire to both be as transparent as possible and simultaneously afford people privacy, is at the very best an extraordinary challenge.
Whenever there is a tragedy that has the potential to impact our schools we work in conjunction with our school counseling staff to determine the best course of action. At times, this may include contacting outside community and state agencies and working with emergency responders. Often times, we reallocate personnel for a period of time to be sure that resources are available for students and staff where they are most needed.
I would also like to acknowledge that asking questions and sharing ideas or concerns is an important part of the process; however, if we don’t learn of the questions or concerns, we are unable to incorporate that information when we debrief our response. Please reach out directly through email or phone to any administrator involved in managing the crisis. Please understand that if you share questions, concerns, or information on social media, it does not necessarily filter to us, instead, it has the potential to perpetuate inaccurate information, and does not help us to use the information shared to improve processes for our students, staff, and community.
Is it really going to snow?!
Yep, it looks like our first real snow event is may come this evening into tomorrow morning. With that, I just want to remind people about how snow delays and cancellations are decided.
The steps outlined below are generally the steps I take when I make a weather-related decision, but my thought process is entirely about student safety. I know that hundreds of teenage drivers are going to be driving to school and thousands of children are going to be boarding buses, and this thought is always at the center of my decision. I recognize that more notice is better, because as a parent, I understand the time needed to make childcare arrangements and the inconvenience of having routines and schedules interrupted.
Beginning in early November, I follow the weather at the National Weather Service. As a storm event develops, I watch for changes and look at the times that the storm is likely to occur and how long it might last.
As the storm grows closer, I may consult with a number of other people, including the bus company, road agents, other local school systems, and, depending on the anticipated severity of the storm, the State DOT.
At times, with the forecast and information that I have, I can make the call the night before. Sometimes, the storm pattern changes so frequently that I have to wait to see what is going to happen.
I appreciate that everyone has a different outlook on traveling in varying weather conditions. If, as a parent, you decide to keep your student home during a weather event please just give your child’s school a call to let them know.
Retirements
This time of year often brings announcements of retirements for June of 2020. This year is no exception. The following members of our school community will be retiring at the end of the school year. Jim Elder, Principal of Great Brook School, Dana Wood, Science teacher at ConVal High School, Andy Bills, Graphics teacher at ConVal High School, Marilyn Bracket, paraprofessional at Peterborough Elementary School, Lise Lemieux, ConVal School District Nurse, Marcia DeSteuben, Librarian at Peterborough Elementary School, Tim Markley, Human Resource Director, Mary Hopgood, Grade 8 teacher at South Meadow School, and Gib West, former Principal and English teacher at ConVal High School. We are grateful for the service that each provided the ConVal School District. While we are sad to see all of our colleagues leave the District, we are excited for each of them as they begin the next chapter of their lives.
Budget
We have begun the budgeting process for the 2020-2021 school year. By the end of next week, we will have budget-related documents uploaded to our website. These will be updated regularly as we move through the budget process. The 2020-2021 budget looks to advance our present Strategic Plan. Should you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out. I will work to regularly update you as part of my communications over the next several months.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, our staff, and our ConVal community.
Difficult times always give me pause. After the immediate needs have passed, I try to always remember how important kindness and compassion are. The last month has been the most difficult for our District in my 10 years, but I have watched and seen example after example of compassion and kindness. We all feel tragedy, whether we are directly connected or on the periphery, and our ability to model kindness and compassion for our communities, our students, and each other has been a reminder of what it means when someone says “We Are ConVal”.
As always please do not hesitate to reach out at any time, for any reason.

Students researched where and how the ingredients for commercial chocolate are grown, how chocolate is produced from roasted and ground cacao seeds, how it is flavored, how much it is sweetened, and how it is prepared in the form of a paste or solid block.
All of the student presentations were delivered in German and contained several science facts, including the moisture content and melting points of different varieties of chocolate and how the alkaloids theobromine and caffeine contained in chocolate can have stimulating effects.

Budgets established by the eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and the high school were examined, as were the district’s administrative expenses and program offerings.
This first round in the district-wide budget development process began with three sets of assumptions for the 2020-2021 fiscal year — procedural, financial, and programmatic.
Procedural assumptions are those assumptions that support the mission, vision, and values of the District. “Mission critical” is a term used throughout the process when deciding items placed into the budget. These assumptions include referencing ConVal class size guidelines, annual reviews of Special Education caseloads, and the potential reallocation of existing resources.
Financial assumptions primarily deal with fixed costs. They include items such as collective bargaining agreements, contractual obligations, health insurance costs, utilities, capital improvements, and legal obligations.
Programmatic assumptions deal with curriculum, the continuum of services for identified students, community education programs, and technology investments and upgrades.
Board members looked over every line item to determine what the overall expected expenditures would look like for the 2020-2021 school year and where savings could be made.
On November 12, the Budget and Property Committee will further discuss, research, and revisit portions of the budget, and an additional meeting will be held on Thursday, November 14, if needed, to continue this process.
The budget will continue to be reviewed, revised, and refined several times before it will be presented to voters in March 2020. Minutes from these work sessions and committee meetings will be posted online.

The Wolves had a critically acclaimed run at the Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi Newhouse Theater and will be performed at ConVal later in the year.
DeLappe is a current MacDowell Colony Fellow and on Monday, students had an opportunity to sit down with DeLappe in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre during TASC. The discussion session included ConVal theatre teacher Jason Lambert and Ann Hayashi, the Assistant to the Resident Director at the MacDowell Colony.
DeLappe explained what inspired her play, the process that guided her writing, and how she approaches writing in general.
"There are two types of writers," DeLappe explained. "'Hawk writers' and 'mole writers.' Hawk writers see the work from an overview perspective and then work their way down to the actual sentence level."
"Mole writers, on the other hand, start deep in the ground, work sentence by sentence, and thus work their up. In the end, they both meet at the surface." "I consider myself a mole writer," DeLappe added.
After the meeting, Mr. Lambert thanked everyone who participated and had made this unique opportunity possible: "This was a special one."

The ballots may also include some additional warrant articles that require voter approval. Warrant articles can be initiated either by the School Board or by voter petition.
Since the 2020 district ballots could include all of the above, the School Board will work to keep all voters informed along the way.

Without ever having played steel drums, the band members picked up three different songs within less than two hours and performed for their fellow students in the cafeteria during all three lunches.
From an instrumental point of view, a steel drum is actually not a drum but a tuned gong that is made from the bottom end and partial sidewall of a metal barrel.
The end surface is hammered into a concave shape, and several areas are outlined by acoustically important chiseled grooves. The drum is then heated and tempered. So-called "bosses," or domes, are hammered into the outlined areas.
The depth, curvature, and size of each boss determine its pitch. Drums are commonly made in four sizes, from bass to treble, called boom, cellopan, guitar pan, and ping pong. The drums are struck with rubber-tipped hammers.
Steel drums originated in the West Indies and are played in ensembles, or steel bands, of about 4 to up to 100 performers.
Mango Groove is an authentic 5-piece steel drum band in New Hampshire that specializes in the authentic Caribbean and American musical styles that encompass Soul-Calypso (Soca), reggae, Motown, jazz, pop, Afro-Cuban, and Latin genres. Rollnick and his band have been playing since 1994 and was voted "New Hampshire's Best Steel Band" by New Hampshire Magazine.

Often people ask, "When did that budget item or curriculum change get presented, researched, or discussed?"
At the regular school board meeting, the full board votes on items that have been researched, discussed, compared, debated, and revised several times during the committee work. Only then are these items reported out to the Board for a Board recommendation or vote.
For someone in the audience or reading about it in the paper or on the website, it might appear that the new topic did not have much prior discussion. This is never the case. Often, the change or topic has been in committee for a long time and through many revisions.
The ConVal School Board has a series of standing committees, listed below:
From time to time, ad hoc committees may be formed to tackle a specific issue.
In our attempt to keep our communities informed, we do have all agendas and meeting minutes posted on the ConVal School Board website.
You are invited to attend any of these meetings. To find the schedule for upcoming meetings, go to ConVal School Board at schoolboard.convalsd.net and scroll to the bottom where you will find Quicklinks. Then go to School Board Calendar of Events.
Thank you for your continued support of the ConVal schools.

They were transported back in time to the small frontier community on New Hampshire's westernmost border. A blacksmith and a weaver demonstrated their trades to the students, and they also toured a colonial kitchen and trading post where they learned about food preparation, and also that coins would actually be cut in half by the shopkeeper when he need to give back change. The fierce wind and rain of the day helped the students appreciate the ruggedness that these people must have had to live there over 200 years ago.

In a community partnership with our friends from the Harris Center, students, staff and families are welcome to join us for a brief walk in the woods to start our day in a calming way – outdoors! ‘Tis the season to smell earthy scents such as mushrooms, enjoy the sounds of a waterfall and hear the wind gently blowing falling leaves through the air – what a wonderful way to start the day! The walks have been very successful and we are even collecting data to show evidence that starting in nature helps our body and mind prepare for the learning day ahead – look for more information soon! We look forward to a few more walks before the snow flies. Come join us, the last two are on 10/25 and 11/1.

Last year, ConVal High School was first among all New Hampshire schools in its effort to support local food banks, and we hope to repeat our success this year.
All TASC homerooms are currently competing how many items they can supply to the statewide campaign. As an incentive, the homeroom with the most items collected by Friday, October 4, will win free tickets to the Homecoming Dance and football game.
As of today, Mrs. Johnson's homeroom is in a narrow lead ahead of Mr. Wickham's and Mrs. Harris' TASC homerooms. Mr. Ewing's, Mr. Harris', and Ms. G's homerooms are narrowing the gap and catching up to the leaders.
If you are willing to donate, please consider the following items:
All food items must be non-perishable; please do not send in items in glass jars.
Cash donations are also accepted. Please make your check out to "New Hampshire Tackles Hunger."

The drumline performed a number of cadences and the band played music hi-liting decades of Americana Music. Songs included were, "Boogie Down," "Build Me Up Buttercup," "Zoot Suit Riot," "My House," and "Vehicle."
The Band received a particularly rousing applause for their performance of "Big Noise from Winnetka" when their routine included brass players ducking from their neighbors' instruments purposely being swung over their heads. There were also a number of wailing brass and percussion solos.
The Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, Massachusetts, also known as the “Big E”, is a unique kind of state fair. Rather than serving just one state, the Big E serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

This allows students to develop their social emotional skills right alongside their academic ones. Jen is currently working with Team Squirrel on how to take turns while playing a game with peers. This skill is used throughout the day when students are in literacy and math centers. Developing a sense of kindness and fairness in game play allows students to focus on building academic skills while playing a game independently with peers.

Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2020 competition by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
McCall is the son of Eric and Christine McCall of Peterborough.

The event was sponsored by the Peterborough Poetry Project.
Alice Fogel, the New Hampshire Poet Laureate, introduced Rachel and the other speakers saying the idea for a NH Youth Poet Laureate position came to her at the suggestion of a New Hampshire teacher. In her role as poetry advocate, she decided to initiate the position through the NH State Council on the Arts as a way of bringing poetry to more people. Rachel explained that in her role she is focused on using social media to attract young people to poetry events around the state.
Ms. Fogel described the three young poets reading as “Not trying to draw attention to themselves but to poetry” by expressing “eloquent complications” of life and drawing on the support of teachers and other writers. In introducing Rachel, Ms. Fogel described her poetry as “looking outward from herself at the world and understanding the complexities [through her] unique and creative” poems.
The NHYPL is an honorary one-year unpaid position held by NH high school students with a dedication to excellence in writing, and who have the enthusiasm to heighten the visibility and value of poetry by and for young people in New Hampshire.
The Peterborough Poetry Project is currently hosting a contest with the theme of New Hampshire (past, present, future, or fantasy). Deadline: September 30th. Details for the contest are at: peterboroughpoetryproject.org/contests.

The tenth Peter Michael Abbott Memorial 5K race took place on Saturday, September 14, at ConVal Regional High School.
Three staff members — Dean of Students Steve Bartsch, Director of Special Education Michael Lucow, and ATC teacher Sarah Grossi — each placed in their respective division. Social Studies teacher Eric Bowman was the overall winner of the race with a time of 21:58.
The Peter Michael Abbott Memorial Fund was founded in 2010 as a non-profit, volunteer-led organization to raise funds for an annual academic scholarship awarded to graduates of ConVal Regional High School who pursue advanced education.
Peter Abbott was a 1979 graduate of ConVal high school who died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack in 2009. Having lettered in Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer, he was a posthumous, inaugural inductee into the ConVal Regional High School Athletic Hall of Fame on June 5, 2011.

More importantly, they were eager and willing to jump back into the gardens after having a long summer break, sharing their observations as they went.
Next week they will be exploring the different kinds of garden bugs. We can't wait to see what kinds of bugs live in our garden beds!

Community Service Opportunity
The Champion Conval Boys Soccer team is always in need of ball kids for their home games. It is a fun and easy way to earn up to 2 hours of community service per game. It involves chasing soccer balls when they go out of bounds and no soccer experience is necessary. Here is the link to the sign up genius created, but showing up at the home games is fine too.
Thanks,
Jeannine Wegmueller Boys Soccer Rep
The Conval Girls Soccer team is looking for Ball Kids to help out for home games. No soccer experience necessary, just be able to chase down a ball and stand on the sidelines of the game. This opportunity will earn 2 hours of community service, be a lot of fun, and support our Conval Girls Soccer Team!
Here is the Sign Up link.

Our students come at times excited, at other times apprehensive; at times ready to engage in learning, and at other times needing support.
The journey from kindergarten through senior year encompasses 2,340 days. And while 2,340 days seems like a long time, the truth is that these 13 years go by very, very quickly. Most importantly, we don’t take this journey single-handedly, for you, their parents are paramount to their success.
In these 2,340 days we teach, we inspire, we comfort, we encourage, we support, and we celebrate. To make all this happen, every day counts.
In these 2,340 days, we teach our students to play well with others, to work out their differences, and to express their emotions appropriately so they can build healthy relationships with their peers and others throughout their lives.
In these 2,340 days, we teach students to use their words to express themselves, to share their thoughts, to sing, and to converse in other languages.
We teach them to read, so that they can discover and explore new knowledge and the wonder that this world holds for them. We teach them to write, so they can express themselves, explain themselves, and share with others their hopes and dreams for themselves and our world.
We begin with learning to count objects and extend to applying math in ways that will help them discover patterns, create models, learn to code and assist in discovering new ways to analyze and solve the challenges we now face and those we may face in the future.
In these 2,340 days, we also engage our students in the arts, the sciences, and so much more.
We hope that your student has had a wonderful opening, and I look forward to our continued work together.
Thank you.

AES students and families enjoyed seeing former friends and meeting new ones at the AES MEET & GREET on Tuesday, August 27th.
They were able to get a sneak peek at their new classrooms and meet their new teachers. Our new Kindergarten friends were able to try a short school bus ride for practice.
The PTO provided yummy popsicles at the end of the event.
We are all looking forward to the start of school.

Welcome Back AES Families!
Can you believe it is August already? Before you know it, we will be back in full swing for the 2019-2020 academic year. I wanted to let you know about a few things that were happening over the summer, and a few things to look forward to shortly.
The building has undergone some facility upgrades this summer. You will be pleasantly surprised when you walk down our brightly lit and newly tiled hallways, and you and your children will feel cool from the new air conditioning installed schoolwide. I wanted to be sure to communicate with you that as part of our continued maintenance and improvements to our schools, The parking lot between AES and GBS is undergoing some renovations as well as I write this. Stay tuned for information from the AES Parent Advisory Group who have taken time this summer to refine student drop-off procedures in order to make sure every student is safely dropped off before school. if you want to avoid the morning congestion, you might consider taking advantage of our school bus system.
Back by popular demand, we will have our assemblies in the mornings on alternate Fridays from 8:40 - 9:15 am . At these assemblies, grade levels will present as they have done in the past, and we will be honoring and recognizing students regularly for exemplifying our core values of respect, honesty, kindness, cooperation, and grit as well as recognizing students for academic growth and achievement. Be sure to check out the various ways we use to disseminate information for assembly dates and other important dates: the calendar in the foyer, the tv in the foyer, the website http://aes.convalsd.net, my monthly Eagle Express newsletters, and teacher newsletters.
Just like last year, we will be holding a school-wide MEET & GREET on August 27th from 3:30 - 4:30. This is a wonderful time for students to come in to meet their teachers, see the classrooms, and greet former and new friends. The event will conclude on the playground at 4:30 with popsicles provided by our active and dedicated PTO. Be sure to mark your calendar for this as well as our Open House which is scheduled for Thursday September 12th from 5:30 - 7.
I wish you all a happy August, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
All the best,
Stephanie Syre-Hager
Principal

Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! I hope you are ready for a great year; I know I am! My goal is to work with students and staff, parents and community members to ensure the learners of PES thrive in an environment where they feel known, needed, and cared for, where they are challenged academically, where they are celebrated for their individual and collective growth, and they are recognized for being respectful, safe, and kind.
In order for our students to be most successful, it is important that the lines of communication are open. Parents (and students) are encouraged to contact teachers and administration with questions regarding your child’s education. Every staff member has a voicemail, an email account, and a webpage allowing for dialogue and communication. The school and district webpages and Facebook pages are another great source for information and communication. And of course, please feel free to contact me, introduce yourself if you are new, and join us in the many events we host each year.
The first day of school is Wednesday, August 28th. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your child(ren) during the 2019-2020 school year.
Sincerely,
Larry Pimental, Principal

This action was in large part a result of lead toxicity to children from the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
On February 8, 2018, Governor Sununu signed Senate Bill 247 Prevention of Childhood Lead Poisoning. This law requires, among other actions, that all schools and licensed childcare facilities test lead in drinking water at all locations where water could possibly be ingested by children.
The ConVal School District contracted with a State of New Hampshire approved water testing vendor to perform the testing in all of our schools. A total of 590 fixtures were tested according to DES protocols. Any location that was found to be outside of the acceptable levels has been labeled and clear signage has been affixed to indicate that this is not to be used for drinking water. It is important to note that the areas that have signs are not areas where students would typically drink water.
The first round of testing was required to be completed by July 1, 2019, and to be done every 5 years thereafter.
Listed below are the results of the sampling at every school that was completed in 2019.
In accordance with SB 247, the ConVal School District will perform the second round of water testing in 2024.
If you have any questions at all regarding testing, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Fifth Grade Student,
Welcome to South Meadow School! We are very excited about our new school year! We will be studying a variety of subjects and topics throughout the school year. You will learn about ecology and ecosystems, the place of value system and fractions, and how our country was formed, to name a few. With the ChromeBooks that will now be available to all fifth grade students, you will have the opportunity to explore computer technology and learn a variety of ways to use it in your projects and presentations. Of course, we will also read some great books and do some excellent writing!
There are a few supplies that you will need for your fifth grade year. They are:
In the classroom, we have a supply of crayons, markers, paper and glue sticks, so you won't need to purchase any of those items. It would be most helpful if you had the above mentioned supplies when you come to school on Wednesday, August 28, 2019. Should any of these items create a financial burden for your family, please don't fret, just let your classroom teacher know! Please make sure you have a snack and a lunch or lunch money to put on your account for the first day. Also, please be prepared to go outside each day, so bring or wear sneakers to school.
PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING SMS AND GRADE FIVE: sms.convalsd.net

Community service paperwork is available on the school website.
We want you to have a successful school year and organization is a big part of that. In order to assist you with organization, we would like you to have the following:

Tickets are available at our.show/cvhs/annie and at the door - $8 for adults, and $5 for students and seniors.
Annie Jr. is presented in association with ConVal Summer Academy and features the sixth annual collaboration between ConVal High School, Great Brook Middle School, and South Meadow Middle School. Students coming into 5th-12th grades participated in a four-week course to put together this 60-minute version of the Broadway production.
Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin, Annie Jr. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Take some time out of your summer to consider a brighter “Tomorrow” with the hope of “Easy Street” to escape your “Hard Knock Life”, “Maybe” in “NYC”?
Students performing in “Annie Jr.” are: Chloe Griggs, Jai Petrain, and Priscilla St. Pierre of Antrim; Haley Serafine of Francestown; Abbey Shumway, Abby Theberge and Parker Theberge of Hancock; Miriam Meltzer of Lyndeborough; Miranda Craig, Alissa Cutting, Shayna Hanley, Cheyenne Heinselman, Desirae Ladebauche, Mackenzie Mullins, Sean Roberts, and Emma Rodenhiser of Peterborough; Katherine Craig of Sharon; and Alyssa Stoddard of Weare.
Lucas Blanchette, Ryan Jackson, Petra McLay, and Angel St. Pierre of Antrim; Mary Quintanilha of Bennington; and Josh Ellis and Miranda Ellis of Peterborough are designing and implementing all technical elements.

The meeting took place in the ConVal High School Library Learning Commons.
Part of the larger group was the ConVal High School administrative team which consists of Principal Michelle Voto, Dean of Students Steve Bartsch, Director of School Counseling Kim Chandler, Director of the Applied Technology Center Jen Kiley, Athletic Director John Reitnauer, Special Education Administrator Michael Lucow, and teacher administrators May Goldthwaite-Gagne, Greg Morris, and Carol Young.
The group focused on teacher supports, reviewed research and developed action items to impact instruction and engage students. Specifically, they concentrated on the ways in which teacher can more effectively address the physical, social, emotional, and aesthetic aims that are associated with educating the whole student.
The following week, many of the same group of educators are scheduled to work with QED Foundation consultants Kari Thierer and Kim Carter to learn how to give and receive constructive feedback on their own teaching and learning practices.

Jason Lambert's Summer Academy enrichment course "Comedy Workshop" examines the art and science of comedy, both in live performance and across broadcast media.
Today's lesson was devoted to improv comedy, in which all of what is performed is created spontaneously by the performers, sometimes based on suggestions by the audience or in response to props. In its purest form, the dialogue, action, story, and characters in improv comedy are created collaboratively by the players as the improvisation unfolds in present time.
For inspiration, students studied short samples taken from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", an improv-based television show with Drew Carey, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Laura Hall.

On March 13, 2019, the Contoocook Valley School District filed a Complaint in the Cheshire Superior Court regarding the State's obligation to ensure a constitutionally adequate education for New Hampshire children. The Mascenic, Monadnock, and Winchester School Districts joined the Complaint.
The Complaint laid out how, using the State’s own formula and the State’s own data, the State’s base adequacy funding falls far short of constitutionally sufficient funding for the children of the ConVal, Mascenic, Monadnock, and Winchester School Districts and throughout New Hampshire.
On June 5, 2019, the Court issued a comprehensive, 98-page decision.
The Court’s findings were consistent with our assertion that the present levels of funding for public education in the State of New Hampshire are unconstitutional. The Court specifically held the State’s current per pupil funding levels are “unconstitutional as applied to the Petitioning school districts.”
In particular, the Court held that the State was unconstitutionally failing to fully fund transportation costs for all students, unconstitutionally failing to fully fund facilities costs and unconstitutionally failing to fund the costs of teachers at proper teacher student ratios.
Additionally, the Court awarded attorneys’ fees.
The Court also indicated that any formula design that forced communities to raise dollars to subsidize the State’s obligations would be “ripe for adjudication.”
The Court also found that the funding formula was “not only unsupported by the legislative record but [is] clearly or demonstratively inadequate according to the Legislature’s own definition of an adequate education.”
You can read the court's decision in its entirety here.

The topic is important because it involves a number of contested areas: oil reserves, humanitarian issues, questions of dictatorship vs democracy, and Cold War era rivalries — specifically Russia, which has significant interests in the Venezuelan oil industry, as well as in the destabilization of western democracies.
The assignment is an example of the blended learning environment at ConVal in which students and professional staff work together in a student-centered setting which permits for student voice and choice.

During 8th Grade Orientation, incoming students had the opportunity to meet their school counselors and explore the school's many co-curricular programs, from the Math Team to the specialized choral and instrumental ensembles. Community-based programs, like the 1729 Robotics Team and Cornucopia, were also on display.
In addition, the ConVal sports programs provided opportunities for early sign-ups and conversations with coaches. All three season sports were represented: football, soccer, field hockey, bass-fishing, wrestling, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, softball, baseball, lacrosse, cross-country running, and many more.
During the Celebration of Learning portion of the evening, visitors were treated to a variety of exemplars of student learning, such as photo exhibits, woodworking samples, and presentations by the architecture and engineering programs that are offered by the Region 14 Applied Technology Center.
The Social Studies program held the YES competition finals in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre. The finalists were the Phoenix House, presented by Nikki Bell and Tristan Hutchinson; the Monadnock Area Transitional Shelter (MATS), presented by Daisy Young and Ava Goohs; End 68, presented by Kenzie Costello, Isabelle Lasky-Rigrod and Jasmin Reed; and Chucky's Fight, presented by Carly Kimball and AJ Adkins.
The winning charitable organization was Chucky's Fight which will receive a $3,000 grant through the Mariposa Museum, with the financial support of C&S Wholesale Grocers and Joseph's Coat & Cultural Cocoon.
Thank you to all who could attend the evening, and we hope to see you again next year!

The New Hampshire Scholars Initiative is an effort by area business and school volunteers to encourage and motivate all high school students to complete a defined, rigorous academic course of study that prepares them for successful transition to college or university coursework or vocational and technical training necessary to enter today’s competitive job market.
New Hampshire Scholars are high school students who have pledged to complete the State Scholars Core Course of Study, a specific sequence of academic courses in English, math, science, social studies, and foreign language. The New Hampshire Scholars philosophy is based on the belief that it is better to be successful in an academically challenging course than to get a higher grade in an easier course.

Weiss is a German singer-songwriter who gained recognition for his music after participating in Deutschland sucht den Superstar, the German adaptation of the international Idol franchise, in 2013.
The winners will travel to Germany this summer to go to a Wincent Weiss concert and to hang out with the singer himself.

UPDATE: LAST DAY TO REGISTER — TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 2019
Registration is now open for the 2019 ConVal Summer Academy which will be held July 8 – August 1, 2019.
The Academy is a great way to extend student learning through the summer to prevent the usual “summer slide” — the traditional loss of academic skills and knowledge over the course of the summer holidays. Taking ConVal Summer Academy courses also helps to get requirements and electives out of the way so that your student’s class schedule can remain flexible and open to opportunities during the regular school year.
The Academy offers participation in a musical drama production ("Annie, Jr"), art instruction in ceramics, jewelry-making and metalsmithing, an English comedy workshop, and a course in forensic science, just to mention some of the most popular selections.
In addition, the Academy offers credit recovery and readiness courses in Mathematics as well as regular courses (e.g. American Government, American Economics) that can be accomplished on a concentrated time schedule.
Attendance in the Summer Academy is free for students of the ConVal School District, including incoming freshmen. All that is required is a deposit for attending a class ($25 for students in grades 5-8, $50 for high school students) but the fee is refunded upon completion of the course.
There are two day-long workshops organized by the School Counseling Department in conjunction with the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF). One specializes in the college admissions process, the other
For further details, please see this course description and signup brochure or email Jennifer Kiley (jkiley@conval.edu) with questions.

Originality, cinematic storytelling and technical execution are the primary scoring elements of the NHHSSFF. All films, regardless of type or genre, are judged on the filmmaker's ability to effectively captivate an audience through cinematic expression.
After an initial review of all the submissions, the films with the highest scores will be screened at the annual two-hour New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival, which takes place at Red River Theatres in Concord.
In order to be considered, films must be produced exclusively by students in grades 9-12 who are currently enrolled and attending a New Hampshire public or private high school, or who are residents of New Hampshire and enrolled in high school elsewhere. New Hampshire homeschooled students ages 14-18 are also eligible. Films do not have to have been created as part of a school project.

HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS FOR ALL
As part of the April 25, 2019 Selectmen’s Advisory Committee, each Selectperson in attendance shared current and upcoming town projects. The purpose for sharing stemmed from an interest in identifying potential opportunities for collaboration.
The discussion that soon emerged focused on the different towns’ efforts to explore what it would take to bring high-speed Internet access to all, which, simply put, would be both difficult and expensive. As a result, the Committee wondered if approaching the pursuit of high-speed Internet access would be a potential area for cross-town collaboration.
Pursuing high-speed Internet access as a region — rather than as individual towns — may be a more cost-effective way. It may also hold greater appeal for Internet service providers (ISPs) because a regional approach potentially would provide a greater combined customer base for them. The focus also seems appropriate for the Selectmen’s Advisory Committee to explore as it is an issue that would benefit both the individual towns and the school district.
A digital divide currently exists within the region, one that is characterized by a substantive gap separating those who have ready access from those who have restricted access or none at all. The difference in access can contribute to inequities in educational and employment opportunities, as well as options to participate in social and civic affairs.
Ultimately, the Selectmen’s Advisory Committee decided that this topic is worthy of further exploration. As a result, the decision was made to schedule a follow-up meeting to continue and broaden the conversation. Each Selectperson agreed to bring to the follow-up conversation a representative from their individual town who sits on their town’s committee that would be involved in investigating high-speed Internet access (e.g., Planning Committee, Information Communication Committee).

The contest took place recently at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College in Manchester. The purpose of the New Hampshire American Legion Junior Oratorical Contest is to allow students in grades 6 through 8 an opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the Constitution of the United States.
There are two parts to the contest — the prepared oration, whose subject must be on some phase of the Constitution and is from 3 to 5 minutes in duration, and the assigned topic where contestants are asked to speak for 2 to 4 minutes on a topic relating to the Constitution.
Contest participants are judged on depth of knowledge of the Constitution, originality of their oration, skill in selecting examples, voice, diction, posture, poise, eye contact, and use of gestures.
The junior oratorical contest serves as a stepping stone for the American Legion National High School Oratorical Contest and helps participants develop the ability to address an audience at a young age.
For additional details, please see the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript.

This focus involves analyzing the ways in which ConVal School District, ConVal High School, and the Math Department operate to “ensure that every learner--in whatever learning environment that learner is found--has the greatest opportunity to learn enhanced by the resources and supports necessary to achieve competence, excellence, independence, responsibility, and self-sufficiency for school and for life” (Scott, 2001, p.6).
As a result of the School Board’s commitment to educational equity, recent meetings of the Education Committee included discussions on patterns and trends that surfaced as a result of exploring educational equity within the math department (see meeting minutes for February, March, and April).
At the April 15, 2019 meeting of the Education Committee, discussion led to some initial recommendations for changes to Policy IKF – High School Graduation. Proposed changes include requiring all students to complete Algebra I and increasing the number of required math credits from three to four. These recommendations were sent to the Policy Committee to be reviewed and considered at their upcoming May 7, 2019 meeting. If Policy Committee supports the proposed changes, a revised version of Policy IKF will be brought to the full School Board for approval and adoption.
The Education Committee’s recommendations would increase ConVal High School’s expectations and requirements for graduation. The recommendations also align with current thinking by—and recommendations from—experts in the field of mathematics:
High schools should offer continuous four-year mathematics pathways with all students studying mathematics each year, including two to three years of mathematics in a common, shared pathway focusing on Essential Concepts, to ensure the highest-quality mathematics education for all students.
(National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2018)
The Education Committee of the School Board typically meets on the third Monday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Boardroom at the SAU 1 Offices. These meetings are open to the public. Committee meeting agendas and minutes can be found on the ConVal School Board’s website.

Pierce celebrated Earth Day with multi-aged activities that focused on water and how to treat the resource with respect. Children sculpted clay amphibians and learned about vernal pools. Very springtime.
Mr. Shultz, Pierce art teacher, gave the students an opportunity to use water creatively in a painting project.
Mrs. Germain discussed pollution and demonstrated what an oil spill would look like. The children came up with some different techniques and tried to remove the oil from the water in their tank.
Students heard the true story about a child in Africa, The Water Princess, and how water affects her daily life read by Ms. Sutton. After brainstorming ideaS about their own positive experiences with water, students worked on a project that will be displayed in the multi-purpose room.
Mrs. Parsons, Title 1 teacher, arranged for community readers to come to school to share books in the classrooms, capping a great Spirit Week here at Pierce.

On the evening of April 17th, the School Board of the Mascenic Regional School District voted unanimously to join ConVal’s lawsuit against the State of New Hampshire.
The Con Val School District welcomes Mascenic's participation, and thanks the Mascenic Board for taking this important step to ensure that every child in New Hampshire has access to a constitutionally adequate education.
That another district has joined this movement is further indication of the importance of this issue. This shows the increasingly difficult positions of NH school districts as they seek to provide equitable education.
We look forward to working with the Mascenic School District in this important action to hold the State accountable for its constitutional obligation.

[qms_post_excerpt] => Summer Adventures! Dr. Vince Virga is a veterinarian, scientific writer, and conservation activist. A three-time Macdowell fellow currently in residence at the Colony, Virga gave a TASC talk on his specialty of animal behavior and wildlife conservation.
Virga presented a comprehensive slideshow with photographs and video clips, explaining how animal care guidelines in zoological parks and wildlife preserves have evolved over the past three decades.
The original philosophy was centered on how the animal is best displayed for the convenience of visitors, with little regard to animal welfare beyond the safety and physical health of the animal.
More current thinking in zoological park construction involves the consultation of animal behavior specialists who help ensure that the artificial habitats mimic more closely conditions in the wild and incorporate design principles that take into consideration stimulation through play and the animal's natural exploratory behavior.
Virga ended his presentation with an appeal to students to become more actively involved in wildlife conservation. According to his research, there are multiple hotspots around the world where endangered species are disappearing more rapidly than previously known.
The key factors in this worrisome development are habitat encroachment and climate change. Virga's concern is that people are insufficiently alarmed about this issue, even though the warning signs point to a clear and present danger of permanent loss of wildlife.
Before taking student questions, Virga ended on a positive note by sharing two examples of activists in their late teens and early twenties making a significant difference in the wildlife conservation movement.

Von Manteuffel is a designer and a member of the German Design Museum Foundation.
He gave a presentation on the German Bauhaus style, its cultural roots in the Weimar Republic, and the "form follows function" design principles that Bauhaus architects like Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe later applied to the construction of skyscrapers in the United States.
After the presentation, students were invited to explore Bauhaus design principles to construct a chair using only paper, paperclips, and plastic straws as raw materials. Their various designs were later presented to the class, in German, and cataloged by von Manteuffel.
The “Discover Design—Discover Bauhaus” workshop is part of the Year of German-American Friendship. This initiative is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, implemented by the Goethe Institut, and supported by the Federation of German Industries (BDI).

Boice earned the award for his commitment to preserving Peterborough's history. He is a volunteer for the Peterborough Historical Society and is a colonial interpreter. As a colonial interpreter, he dresses in traditional colonial clothing and demonstrating cooking techniques from the 17th and 18th centuries.
A self-taught computer programmer, Boice took his love of history into the digital age, creating Newpast: Peterborough 1886. This interactive game allows the user to explore Peterborough as it was in 1886 as compared to how it is now.
Boice's amazing immersive experience is currently being beta-tested with elementary school children and the Monadnock Center for History and Culture. He previously shared his creation at a Celebration of Learning event at ConVal Regional High School (see Taking Learning To A Whole New Level: Student Re-Creates Late 19th Century Peterborough In VR).
Congratulations, Brigham, on this outstanding achievement!

The MTSS-B framework has been shown to improve student engagement, create school climates and cultures that are positive and inclusive of all students, and improve student academic and behavioral outcomes.
This interactive, hands-on training was provided by the University of New Hampshire for school-level leadership teams to prepare for the implementation of an evidence-based multi-tiered system of support framework.
Participants focused on how to establish Tier 1 “universal” systems. School teams learned how to organize their learning community to include diverse school and community voice, create a positive school-wide system, align multiple efforts and resources and how to create a coherent, consistent, and positive environment for all students.

On Friday, a week after our preliminary injunction hearing, the judge denied our request for an immediate increase in education funding from the state. Overall, this is a very positive result for ConVal. Although denying an immediate injunction, the case will be completed within the fiscal year. So although April 1 has passed, the issue is not moot, according to Judge Ruoff. The districts “seek funds from the State as fulfillment of its constitutional obligations during the 2019 Fiscal Year,” he wrote, meaning we can still try to claim those funds until June 30. The judge also clearly sees the issue, that no school district can provide an adequate education with the State’s current “adequacy” payment.
Our argument, joined by the Winchester School District, is that New Hampshire’s school funding levels fall unconstitutionally short of what it actually takes to educate a child in our state. Our lawsuit builds on the NH Supreme Court case law going back to the Claremont I and II of the 1990’s. At that time, it was established that the state has a duty to provide and fund an “adequate education” and the funding system in place at that time, was invalidated.
Again, the most important part of this step, although denied, was that we got our objection to the inadequacy of the April 1st adequacy payment onto the record. We were never counting on $20+ million being deposited into our bank account last week. We knew it would not be that easy.
This judge’s ruling was good for us, as he ruled that he had the power to grant the relief we are seeking, that he can do that any time prior to the end of the fiscal year, and that he intended to rule one way or the other well before then. He also signaled that he was open to our basic argument. All in all, this was a very positive result.
We will continue to keep you informed as we move forward in this process.

Each school put forth two teams. ConVal sent Team "Dudelsack" (German for "bagpipe"), consisting of Grace Christensen, Alexis Cleary, Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, and Finn Wegmueller; Team "Die Bernsteins" was represented by Lenny Romard, Eddie Sulborski, and Greta Topping. For the competition, the teams workshopped to write rap texts about a given topic, practiced their performance, improved their pronunciation and stage presence, and got inspiration from experts - all in German, of course! The event was judged by a four-person jury comprised of representatives from the Goethe Institute, the German Consulate, the Berklee School of Music, and the German School in Boston, and Team "Dudelsack" emerged as the winner. As part of their first prize, their rap song will be professionally recorded in the weeks to come. The Goethe Institut is a non-profit German cultural association that operates 159 institutes worldwide with the mission to promote the study of the German language abroad and to encourage international cultural exchanges. Around 246,000 people take part in Goethe Institut activities every year.

A very experienced educator and recipient of the NHAHPERD Teacher of the Year Award in 2012, Peg Keeler has trained with Drums Alive. (Drums Alive® is a curriculum and training program that combines fitness, with drumming, music, and educational concepts that improve the physical, emotional, and social health of participants.) Peg brought her enthusiasm and dynamic approach to Pierce School as she taught students in each grade their own special drumming routines. The fun, excitement, music and movement engaged all students. During a well attended evening performance, the children demonstrated what they had learned from Peg for for their parent and friends. It was a wonderful and entertaining show appreciated by all. Thank you Peg Keeler !

The experience is a new opera outreach project from the Colonial Theatre in Keene which aims to expose and educate people on the world of opera music.
The singers posed as kitchen and maintenance staff and pretended to be working in the cafeteria while students entered for lunch. The students might’ve suspected that something was up due to the presence of an upright piano right in the middle of the cafeteria. Once most of the students were through the lunch line and seated, the five-minute scene began.
The singers dueled and competed for attention with excerpts from Bizet's Carmen and Strauss' Die Fledermaus. They eventually join forces to end with the famous trio from Verdi's La Traviata. After the performance, the musicians engaged with students to discuss what they just saw and heard!
To follow up on this experience, Ms. Morin will be utilizing some of the Metropolitan Opera's educational resources in her choral ensembles to discuss opera music in our world today.

The state’s ever-increasing downshifting to towns and cities, has reached a breaking point. The ‘Claremont Decision’ of 1993 decided that “the State has the exclusive obligation to fund a constitutionally adequate education and that the State may not shift any of the constitutional responsibility to local communities.” For the past 26 years, there has been legislative work on interpreting the meaning and level of funding that constitutes “adequate.” The numbers show a startling gap: the state provides a base adequacy payment of $3,636.06 per pupil. This amount is based on a formula that does not fund actual transportation costs, does not apply actual teacher/student ratios to classrooms, does not accurately reflect the benefits required by the state, does not include the cost of school nurses, superintendent services or food services—as required by state law, and provides less than 20% of the actual facilities operation and maintenance costs. Using the state’s own data, the cost according to its own formula, is $9,929 per pupil exclusive of transportation. ConVal’s per pupil cost, including transportation, (remember, we are a nine-town school district) is $10,843.60. The actual average per pupil cost across New Hampshire is $18,901.32. We decided that we could sit or we could act. ConVal chose to take action. The State needs to ensure that not another generation’s education is put at risk by unstable and inequitable funding.

ConVal has requested the Superior Court order the State to comply with its constitutional mandate this fiscal year and in particular prior to the final adequacy payment of April 1, 2019. Therefore, the District also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to request that the State be made to pay the shortfall of adequacy in the amount of $16,961, 843.75. A preliminary injunction is an order from the court, early in the stages of a lawsuit that requires a party to act or not act in a certain way pending a ruling or outcome. There are multiple reasons to request an injunction, in this case we want to be sure that we do not let April 1, 2019 go by without indicating that the State’s adequacy payments have been insufficient and thereby potentially lose our standing to receive what we believe is the correct amount in adequacy. The State has until March 26, 2019 to respond in writing to our Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and the Cheshire Superior Court has scheduled a hearing for March 29, 2019 at 9 AM in Keene. — The ConVal School Board [post_title] => Superior Court Hearing Scheduled For March 29, 2019 [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => superior-court-hearing-scheduled-for-march-29-2019 [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2019-03-28 14:42:54 [post_modified_gmt] => 2019-03-28 18:42:54 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://schoolboard.convalsd.net/?p=3576 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [qms_post_link] => https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/2019/03/28/superior-court-hearing-scheduled-for-march-29-2019/ [qms_post_featured_image] => Array ( [original] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction.jpg [1] => 750 [2] => 750 [3] => ) [thumbnail] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-150x150.jpg [1] => 150 [2] => 150 [3] => 1 ) [medium] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-300x300.jpg [1] => 300 [2] => 300 [3] => 1 ) [news-thumb] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-270x270.jpg [1] => 270 [2] => 270 [3] => 1 ) [homepage-slide] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-750x720.jpg [1] => 750 [2] => 720 [3] => 1 ) ) [qms_post_content_image] => 0 [qms_post_excerpt] =>March 25, 2019

Students at AES just finished a month-long exposure to computer coding during their after school coding club. Organized by Mr. Stultz and Mrs. Syre-Hager, students had the opportunity to learn the basics of coding while working with kid-friendly themes such as Star Wars and Angry Birds. Dash, a programmable robot, made an appearance a few times where students took turns coding commands to made it move, turn, and beep. The students needed to show grit in order to move from level to level, and they did so throughout the sessions. Filled with a sense of accomplishment, each student walked away the feeling of self-satisfaction and a newfound interest.

[post_content] => Last week, FES students had a new experience in our Library Commons. Knowing that students often stick to one kind of book Library Media Specialist, Nicole Murray, wanted to encourage students to branch out and get a taste for different genres. So, she transformed the Library Commons into a Genre Cafe. The tables were all set with (electric) candles, flowers, and plates. There was soft music playing and the lights were dimmed. Each table was dedicated to a specific genre and students spent time at many of the tables "sampling" the literature (complete with pairings of English crumpets or a nice aged french cheese) and rating the books in different categories. Students were overheard saying "Wow - this book looks great!" and "I can't wait to read this one!" This is just one example of the countless ways that teachers seek to engage students in learning.

To celebrate "Fußball" (soccer), the Goethe Institut organizes an annual "Bundesliga Total!" contest, in which students of German from around the nation demonstrate their soccer knowledge in a variety of contests by being matched against one another in their knowledge of the Bundesliga. At the eastern regional finals in Washington, DC, this past weekend, ConVal's "Bundesliga Total!" duo Finn Wegmüller and Anna Gombas took third place in a field of 25 teams. The Goethe Institut is a non-profit German cultural association that operates 159 institutes worldwide with the mission to promote the study of the German language abroad and to encourage international cultural exchanges. Around 246,000 people take part in Goethe Institute activities every year.

The Theaterfest was organized by the Department of German and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It featured dramatic presentations in German by middle, high school and college students from New England. ConVal's winning entry was a 15-minute short play entitled "Zapping" which portrays a person who is compulsively switching between cable channels. The resulting collision of dialogues between advice on a cooking show and commentaries on two different sports channels leads to puns, double entendres, and humorous word plays. The German drama team consisted of Alexis Cleary, Rosie Crooker, Aria Frehner, Ben Kriebel, Grace Phillips, Greta Topping, and Finn Wegmueller. Congratulations, all, on this prestigious achievement!

In her blog post, "Ms. G," as she is known at ConVal, explains how she uses PBS resources, such as Art21 and The Art Assignment, to share with her students the works of contemporary artists. Not only does online access to these remarkable resources make it easier to bring far away resources into the classroom without the cost and complications of a field trip, what Ms. G appreciates that "artists are shown in the context of their exhibition spaces and in their studios. You get an intimate look at their creative process." The blog post explains in detail which artists she has featured in her instructional practice — Kiki Smith, Robyn O'Neill, Janine Antoni, Nancy Spero, Lenka Clayton, Elizabeth Murray, to name but a few — and how their works impacted both the students' understanding of art and their self-image as art makers. She sees it as her mission as an art teacher "to help students find their way into art; I wholeheartedly believe that art is for everyone. Many of my students come to high school somewhat estranged from artmaking after a middle school loss of confidence and my role is to help them find their way back to art. My students are encouraged when they see that there are myriad ways to be a maker." Goldthwaite-Gagne was named a PBS Digital Innovator representing the state of New Hampshire in 2017.

The students are able to see the organism, organ systems, organs, and tissues of various specimens and make comparisons. Students dissected crustaceans (crayfish) on Wednesday and echinoderms (sea stars) on Thursday. The students were asked to take photos of certain structures during the dissection to complete a small project once the dissections are complete. “I was really excited to do this dissection. It can be difficult to find what we’re looking for but I feel that it’s been a good experience. We’ve been identifying a lot of the structures and learning about their functions,” said sophomore Emma Anderson. She also discussed how the dissections related to what was being learned in class. “Sciences is absolutely my favorite class.” The new lab space that was completed in September 2018 is especially accommodating for dissections. Students have lab table space to break into groups and have adequate working space. Cleaning up is quick and easy as there are numerous sinks, paper towel dispensers, and soap for students. Anna Muncy observed, “It is a science teacher’s dream to see students be able to clean up their workspace quickly and well. Aside from the educational and time benefits, it is also a safety benefit as space is properly cleaned of chemicals.”

Each classroom had 2, 3, or more high school students sharing their love of reading and sharing stories with our students. A huge thank you to Conval High School, and PES reading teacher Adine Aldrich for making this happen.

The Contoocook Valley (ConVal) School Board wishes to thank you for your endless support of our students, staff, and programming.
Voter approval of the operating budget ensures a continued excellent and supportive education for the children of our district. Furthermore, passing the teacher's contract for the next two years tells us that you value and appreciate our staff for the incredible work that they do.
We heard very clearly that a change to the funding formula or additional busses is not a direction you want the district to follow as we pursue answers to questions regarding declining enrollment, increasing educational costs, single-start times, and how services and/or funding is allocated to each school.
Future communications with the public and discussions at school board meetings will continue to take place about these topics and challenges.
Thank you again for supporting warrant articles #1 and #2 on this year's ballot.
Sincerely,
ConVal School Board

Twenty-six years ago, the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, in the landmark Claremont decision, determined that it is a State obligation to ensure a constitutionally adequate education for New Hampshire children. Subsequent decisions by the Court also determined that the State cannot shift that responsibility to the local communities. Efforts on the part of the New Hampshire Legislature have been ongoing since 1993 to resolve the funding shortfalls. Regrettably, the Legislature to date has been unable to provide adequate funding to the local communities so that all children in New Hampshire receive a fair and equitable education, forcing local taxpayers to choose between supporting the children in their communities and being overwhelmed by increasing local taxes. The Complaint lays out, using the State’s own formula and the State’s own data, how the State’s base adequacy funding falls far short of constitutionally sufficient funding for the children of either the ConVal School District or New Hampshire. The State’s current funding of only $3,636.06 per child does not fund the actual transportation costs incurred by districts, does not apply the actual teacher-student ratios, does not accurately reflect the actual benefits required by the State, does not provide any funding for school nurses, superintendent services, or food services as required by state law and provides less than 20% of the actual statewide average facilities operations and maintenance costs. The current proposed legislation does little to provide permanent, guaranteed adequacy and while it may provide temporary relief to some communities, it is not a permanent solution to an ongoing problem. The ConVal School Board has not taken this step lightly, it is time for the State to fulfill its promise to our children and to bring relief to the local taxpayers. — The ConVal School Board [post_title] => Important Press Release By The ConVal School Board [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => important-press-release-by-the-conval-school-board [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2019-03-27 10:57:50 [post_modified_gmt] => 2019-03-27 14:57:50 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://schoolboard.convalsd.net/?p=3512 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [qms_post_link] => https://schoolboard.convalsd.net/2019/03/13/important-press-release-by-the-conval-school-board/ [qms_post_featured_image] => Array ( [original] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction.jpg [1] => 750 [2] => 750 [3] => ) [thumbnail] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-150x150.jpg [1] => 150 [2] => 150 [3] => 1 ) [medium] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-300x300.jpg [1] => 300 [2] => 300 [3] => 1 ) [news-thumb] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-270x270.jpg [1] => 270 [2] => 270 [3] => 1 ) [homepage-slide] => Array ( [0] => https://convalsd.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/03/WP-ConValTakesAction-750x720.jpg [1] => 750 [2] => 720 [3] => 1 ) ) [qms_post_content_image] => 0 [qms_post_excerpt] =>March 13, 2019

The session opened with testimony from several parents and community members explaining why the items mentioned in an earlier Monadnock Ledger-Transcript article (on the default budget) should not be cut from the school budget. These community members spoke with great passion, which we entirely appreciate, and support. Although we knew any cuts would be very unpopular, the point of the warning was not to intimidate or scare, but simply to lay bare the reality of six years of decreasing state support, the continuing enrollment decline, and narrow and to-the-bone budgets. The operating budget has been flat over the last five years, with annual increases below 1 %. These budgets were crafted with taxpayers in mind to keep the increases to property taxes to a minimum. These lean budgets absorbed, along with regular inflation, increases to transportation, food services, and health care benefits, increased staffing costs due to inability to hire certain required professionals, and spikes in special education services. In 2018, the nine communities voted to support the operating budget and the Fact Finder Report. That was a strong statement that our residents want to support the schools, the students, and especially that they want their teachers paid in a competitive way. But that vote caused an average of 11.81% increase in property taxes, depending on your town. This year, the realities of the budget development are that there are no places to make up these regular budget increases: health care benefits, retirement benefits, school maintenance that has become absolutely necessary, transportation contract increases, food service contract increases, and statutorily required special education increases. In addition, we have a new two-year teacher contract, which the board and the CVEA fully support. In 2018, the state statute that directs how school districts must develop their default budget changed to not allow any expenses that were not included in the previously approved budget, outside standing contracts. That required ConVal to propose a default budget that had to leave $1.2 million in required expenses out of the default--making it necessary to make deep cuts should our proposed operating budget not be approved. The cuts that were listed were the least invasive to the core mission of the school district. But the point of the default budget, and the article that we advanced, was to alert our nine communities to the crucial nature of passing the operating budget, and not going to default. Those cuts include 6.5 staff positions in the middle and high school (in addition to the staff cuts that have naturally occurred due to declining enrollment); the Cornucopia Project, New Hampshire Dance Institute, summer programming and Quest programs; the Fresh Fruits & Vegetables program in the elementary schools; fees for the AP courses and the Running Start college credits; the district Arts Enrichment & Integration program; 5th block at the high school (a crucial source of academic support); and the girls & boys hockey, golf, spirit team, and freshman boys basketball co-curricular programs. These cuts look as bad to us as they do to school families, and they are not the total cuts that will have to be made. It is a good lesson on how slim our school budget is, and what cutting $1.2 million out of it means. We have not found a way to create a firm estimate on how much a consolidation of schools could save. It is more complex than a simple addition. We first have to create a model that looks at the educational plan. We are looking at the model advanced by a previous board working with community members, as well as the models advanced by our administration. Will we be able to deliver services at least with the same quality as we do now? Is there a chance to increase services (maybe contemplate universal pre-K?) with the plans for consolidation? The communities around our small elementary schools want answers to how a school closing might affect their community. Those have to be answered in order for the voters to make a choice on the educational configuration that will make the most sense for all nine communities. That is why the board fully supported article #12 of the warrant. And finally, the state must step up to its financial obligations. New Hampshire’s constitution has one of the strongest commitments to public education in the country (ncsl.org, The State Role in Education) but is, with Illinois, one of the two states most dependent on property taxes to fund that commitment. Property taxes now pay for 69% of public education in New Hampshire. If property tax payers are looking for demons, that is a good place to start. In closing, we want to urge everyone to support the proposed operating budget for the coming year, Article #1 on the warrant and the teacher contract, Article #2. It is a bare-bones, skeleton budget and the default budget would mean drastic cuts that will greatly impact student experiences.

One class (Ms. Vanat and Mr. Manni) had been selected to argue in favor of the position, the other class (Mrs. Holcombe and Mr. Mudrick) argued in opposition to the perspective. The debate followed a strict format with opening statements from both sides, alternating comments of agreement and disagreement, and formal closing statements.
All speakers had to make a claim or rebuttal argument, provide evidence for their position, and explain their reasoning. Teams were allowed to ask clarifying questions and, for prescribed periods of time, could conference with their teammates and teachers.
Throughout, the debate was passionate but civil. In the end, students got to score who had prepared and presented the better arguments for their position.
Judging from the success of this first debate, there will be other opportunities for students to hone their debating and public speaking skills.

Both the board and administration are aware of a number of studies that seem to support better educational outcomes for high school age children in those places that have adopted later starting times. The board requested proposals that would accomplish this. Based on prior surveys, the administration formulated a single tier system that would keep older children and elementary children separate while accomplishing this goal. It was their opinion that the best way would require us to add more bus routes and would add about $800,000 plus to the budget ANNUALLY. This cost number assumes our current school configuration and meets the goal that prior surveys seemed to demand. Our large district geography, along with parents’ impression/desire that grades K-12 not be on the same bus, combined with the number of schools within the district, make this desirable action an expensive one. The board decided to approve and advance this to the voters by a narrow margin because it was felt that the voters should have the final say if this educational benefit was a worthwhile investment. Please feel free to contact members of your school board with any questions and with your opinions. Lastly REMEMBER TO COME OUT AND TO VOTE!

Closer examination: the average per pupil cost in ConVal is slightly below the average for New Hampshire. Until recently, the ConVal school budget had been flat, rising under 1% each year. However, the voters approved last year’s budget and the Fact Finder Report. This provided a salary increase to those covered by the CVEA contract bringing our pay scale almost in line with districts where we compete for teachers and special service professionals. This was a strong statement; ConVal residents want to support the schools and the students, and they want their staff paid in a competitive way. Exacerbating the budget are two important factors that without intervention will continue: decreased student enrollment and downshifting the cost of a NH constitutionally guaranteed public education to local property taxes. This trend will continue. The nine communities all feel the tax increases; some more than others depending on the year and reassessment factors. We have seen many opinions and guesses about how much a school consolidation could save the district and, consequently, each town. Over the past three years, the school board and administration have been involved in trying to find a district reconfiguration plan that is educationally sound first, and fiscally sound second. This included trying to come up with a projected financial estimate. Consolidation would be a significant shift in how and where we deliver education. We can look at the budget and remove the cost for the community schools including the services that are delivered at those schools and draw our conclusions from those numbers. We can come up with numbers for additional bus routes. We can estimate how big classes could be, how many extra students could be educated with the faculty at the remaining schools as well as project how many positions would be eliminated. While we can come up with those numbers, we have not found a way to create a firm estimate on how much a consolidation could really save. It is more complex than just simple addition. We first have to create a model that looks at the educational plan. Will we be able to deliver services with the same quality as we do now? Is there a chance to increase services (maybe contemplate universal pre-K?) with plans for consolidation? The towns in our district who may face school closures-- Hancock, Temple, Dublin, Greenfield, Bennington and Francestown--are, in most cases, opposed to those closures. The communities around our small elementary schools want answers as to how a school closing might affect their community, and what the proposed education will look like. All nine towns need a defendable estimate as to what the savings will be. And what might be the unintended consequences. These questions are valid and must be answered to the fullest extent possible. We are in favor of giving the voter the chance to vote on a sound consolidation plan. And, much work towards this has been done. Though we could have pushed it through for the March 2019 ballot, in the end many school board members and the Selectmen’s Advisory Committee felt that we simply did not have enough answers to move consolidation onto the ballot. Taking this step without sound answers for the public will undoubtedly lead to the disintegration of the district. Implementation of such a plan is a long, multi-year process, but begins with support by all nine communities. While it might seem that a decision was pushed down the road for another year, a better starting point--a plan with more answers-- might mean a shorter implementation period. We do want to caution against using firm numbers in any discussion about consolidation. It is misleading and we then tend to focus on a numerical goal. We will continue working towards an excellent alternative to how we deliver services where the monetary savings would be a welcome bonus. However, it is important to remember that without the state taking up its constitutional responsibility to children, tax relief will be fairly small and short termed. In closing, it is crucial that everyone support the 2019-2020 operating budget. It is a “maintenance of efforts” budget. Community members who doubt this reality must look at the past five years to see how the budget absorbed contractual and inflation increases. Therefore, the administration started this current budget cycle with a stripped down, minimalist budget. If it does not pass, the default budget would mean drastic cuts to programming that will have a direct impact on our students.

As part of the 4th grade visit the the Capitol City, they visited the Concord Coach #80 at Concord Group Insurance. This coach is 169 years old, and survived three fires. It was very interesting to learn the history and engineering of stagecoaches, and to discuss what it would be like to be a passenger.

In addition to the not fewer than six potential models considered in the past year, there were earlier efforts such as the Elementary School Study Committee, the Model Study Committee, and the District Study Committee. What these efforts all have in common is that none of them recommended undoing the middle school model, and moving sixth grade into the elementary schools. Multiple studies involving thousands of hours of effort on the part of dozens of ConVal administrators, School Board members, and members of the public, and none have ever identified moving sixth graders back to our small elementary schools as being an educationally sound approach. There is a reason for this: ConVal’s middle schools work. They provide broad and rigorous educational opportunities, do so in a fiscally responsible manner, and support the social and emotional wellbeing of our students. First, ConVal’s middle schools provide excellent educational opportunities. In recent years, both South Meadow School and Great Brook School have been honored as New Hampshire Middle School of the Year. Staff members have received awards for excellence, at the regional, state and national levels. Students at our middles schools have access to a wider array of offerings than we are able to offer in our small elementary schools. So far this year, my fifth-grade student at Great Brook School has been able to access courses in robotics, computer programming, Spanish, and Greek mythology. These programmatic offerings are simply not feasible in an elementary school with a student body of a few dozen students. Second, ConVal’s middle schools are financially efficient, and maintaining the middle school model costs less than adding grades to the elementary schools. There are meaningful economies of scale in larger buildings. When there are 75 students in a given grade in one building, fewer teachers are required than when those 75 students are spread out over six or seven buildings. At some elementary schools, there are not enough classrooms available to move in two additional grades, and doing so would require adding on to the buildings, at considerable cost. Every year, the New Hampshire Department of Education gathers data from all New Hampshire School Districts and publishes a spreadsheet of the cost per student for each district, broken out by grade level. In 2017-2018, the per-pupil cost of ConVal middle schools was $17,233. The per pupil cost of ConVal elementary schools was $20,099. Moving students back to elementary schools does not make financial sense. Third, ConVal’s middle schools are supportive of the social and emotional needs of our students. Advocates for ConVal’s small elementary schools often speak of the “family-like” environment of our smallest schools. It is true that many students find an environment where they spend five years with the same very small cohort of peers to be rewarding. But this is not true of all students. In the ConVal district, more families from small schools request that their children be moved to a larger school, than families from larger schools request assignment to a smaller. By the time children reach the end of fourth grade, many of them are ready for the opportunity to broaden their social horizons. Our middle schools provide that opportunity, as well as providing a smooth transition from small elementary schools to a much larger high school ConVal’s administration has never recommended educating sixth grade students in our small elementary schools. Doing so would limit the educational and social opportunities available to those students, and come at a significantly higher cost. So why would we do it? ConVal’s middle schools work.

The event was a fundraiser for the Thornton Wilder Center for the Arts, the proposed ConVal High School performing arts center building. Jamie Trowbridge served once more as the Master of Ceremony. Storytellers included Jud Hale, Zoë Wroten-Heinzmann, John Kerrick, Linda Greenwood, Lila Trowbridge, Clay Hollister, Daisy Young, Ben Putnam, Michelle Tourgee, and Bill Edson. During the intermission, there was a special film premiere, a short documentary by Carter Hammond featuring community members, faculty, alumni, students, and parents expressing their thoughts on why the center is necessary and what it could offer for our community. The Black Fly Story Hour is an homage to NPR’s Moth Radio Hour.

The nine communities are justly proud of the education that they have been able to provide for families who live in the ConVal district. The administration and school board work hard to look to the future and ensure we are preparing our students to work and thrive, and keep New Hampshire growing and healthy—a state where they will be proud to live and raise their own families. What does it take to ensure these opportunities continue? A good and fair budget, for one, that carefully manages resources raised by taxation against the diverse needs of nine towns; fair and supportive teacher contracts, for another; and most importantly, a belief that we are making an investment in our communities, our families, our children, together. The administration and school board regularly struggle with the complexity of running the district. We want to make sure that your questions are answered. The Budget and Property Committee developed a comprehensive explanation of how the budget is developed, how the budget translates to your tax bill or the district methodology (this is important since Article #4 proposes to amend the Articles of Agreement to apply a new apportionment formula), and lists the part of the overall school district budget for which your town is responsible. It also reviews the warrant articles and explains the school board’s position on those articles. A School Budget Primer: Understanding School Budget Preparation, Methodology, and the Important Role of the Taxpayer was distributed at the Deliberative Session on February 6th, and can be found on the ConVal website by searching for “School Board Primer”, or clicking the 2019 Warrant banner at the top of the screen to see the actual handouts from the meeting. If you have additional questions, please contact your school board representative whose contact information is available at the website as well. Please vote “yes” on the operating budget, and “yes” on the proposed teacher contract.

The purpose of the trip was to study art history through objects of art in their historical development and the contexts of genre, design, format, and style. Students learned how to detect visual styles of both representation and abstraction, how styles expressed artistic sensibilities, and how they changed over time. "By studying art history, graphic design students are better able to connect design problems with stylistic solutions that best illustrate their concepts," Bills noted. Students were particularly fascinated by a work titled "Gautama 2017," a woolen rug designed by Faig Ahmed. It is one of the new acquisitions at the Currier. Ahmed designed the rug on a computer and traditional weavers from Azerbaijan produced it, using techniques that go back thousands of years. The flowing, trompe l'oeil paint components of the work are actually made out of woven wool.

Hart and Charlotte Waddell of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) informed ConVal's Region 14 Applied Technology Center that its technology and engineering education program had been selected as the recipient of a 2019 Program Excellence Award. "Having passed the review process," the letter by Hart and Waddell states in part, "your school’s technology and engineering education program is truly exemplary among other programs in your state, at your school’s level. You know more than anyone the tremendous amount of work and dedication that is required to design, maintain, and improve quality programs like yours." "Primarily, your students are the ones who will have richer lives for having participated in your program," the statement continued. "Not many endeavors are more important than helping students become technologically literate and learn more about the world around them. Thank you for investing in your students!" Mrs. Fabianski will receive the official recognition at the Program Excellence General Session of the 2019 ITEEA Annual Conference in Kansas City, Missouri on Thursday, March 28, 2019. Please see the letter in its entirety by clicking here. Congratulations, students and Mrs. Fabianski!

But the ConVal School Board also recognizes that there are residents who are new to the district and want to gain a better understanding of how the annual district budget is proposed and finalized before it comes before the voters for annual approval. The following documents are intended to offer a closer perspective on how the budget was established for the 2019-2020 school year. The first document consists of a slideshow that can be read online. The presentation contains five subsections:Many residents of the ConVal School District have a solid understanding of the school budget process and have kept up with the changes that were implemented during the past few years regarding the ConVal budget.

The competition consists of five round-robin competition matches to start the day. The second half of the day is a single elimination tournament where the winning teams continue to advance and compete. The Conval Ocean Bowl team made it the semi-finals, where they lost to York who ended up coming in second place. The team members included: Savannah Kersbergen (Captain), Ryan Beal, Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, Isabel Dreher, Avery Pope, and Sandra MacKay coached by Griffen Fletcher (math/physics teacher) and Anna Muncy (science teacher). The team had a few obstacles to overcome, but they immediately focused and gave it their full effort. The team won two round-robins and lost two round-robins. When it became single elimination, they played well and defeat the number one seed (Falmouth A) to advance to the semi-finals. This year, the Nor’Easter Bowl’s committee dedicated the Team Sportsmanship Award to Conval’s very own Jon Manley. Jon Manley was a previous coach for the Conval Ocean Bowl team taking the first teams to the Nor’easter Bowl and NOSB Finals. Jon Manley coached the team when Mr. Fletcher was a student on the team, inspiring Mr. Fletcher to carry on ConVal's and Mr. Manley’s legacy.

Antrim 4th graders have been working on a State Symbols project with Jeannie Connolly, our Arts Enrichment Coordinator. The 4th graders consulted text and internet sources to become experts with their chosen state symbol, wrote a paragraph and drew an illustration, and then put together their books with Jeannie, Mrs. Storro, and family helpers. Some of the state symbols included the ladybug (state insect), skiing (state sport), granite (state rock), and the State House, which we will be visiting on Friday, February 15th!

With January almost behind us, we will begin developing next year’s calendar. In developing the calendar, it is essential that we have your input. Please spend a couple of minutes filling out a survey by clicking here. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes and will be opened until Friday, February 1st. Your input will be used to design the 2019-2020 school-year calendar. While the calendar is shaped by collective agreements and Department of Education regulations, there is still room for some flexibility. Outstanding Performance Award Do you know an Outstanding Educator in the ConVal School District? Perhaps it’s the extra time spent with students to ensure they develop a deep understanding of the material, maybe it’s the educator’s creativity or caring that sparks the joy of learning in a student, or maybe it’s the educator going the extra mile every day. Whatever your reason may be, the Contoocook Valley School District is now accepting nominations for teachers, para-professionals, and special service professionals for the 2019 “Outstanding Performance Awards.” The following positions are eligible for “Outstanding Performance” Awards: Teacher Library Media Specialist Speech Pathologist Physical Therapist School Psychologist Paraprofessional School Counselor Occupational Therapist Social Worker School Nurse Anyone interested in nominating an educator should send an email to the relevant school principal, or to the Superintendent by March 31st, 2019. You may nominate up to 5 individuals.

Author, Michael Daley, a presenter from CLiF (Children’s Literacy Foundation) came to our school and read some of his books. Students were captivated by Mr. Daley’s storytelling. One story, Pinch and Dash Make Soup was particularly entertaining. Using simple props, a wooden spoon, and imaginary salt and pepper shakers along with sound effects, captured the audience’s imagination. Our RiverMead reading partners joined us for this special event too. They enjoyed enjoyed every minute. After storytelling, our RiverMead reading partners had refreshments and read with students. This day was meaningful to all involved. Inspired by Michael Daley, one of our first grade readers was brave enough to read a story to her entire class taking huge step toward reading independence! A proud moment! Thank you to Michael Daley and our to RiverMead friends!

The last day to add new classes for the semester is February 1. Registration Process Begins February 5, 2019 Students will begin the process of selecting courses for the 2019-2020 school year.

This will be put forth for voter approval in March. We are recommending adoption of this budget by the public. This budget represents a "maintenance of efforts" approach in order to meet obligations to our students and staff; no significant new programs have been added. The 1.8% increase in this proposed budget (compared to the current year) is primarily due to contracted services; health care, retirement and transportation. Unfortunately, if the proposed budget is not accepted by simple taxpayer majority then the District and School Board must cut almost $1.25 million from it to implement the $46,878,781 default budget. This default budget will result in significant cuts in student programming, a loss of 6.5 positions from the high school and middle school as well as a freeze to important facility improvements. The Con Val School Board has already approved the following programmatic cuts in order to help meet the default budget:

One of them was titled "Newpast: Peterborough 1886." According to its creator Brigham Boice, a sophomore, Newpast is a video game in which you can view the town of Peterborough in 1886 in an interactive, computer-based setting, allowing you to meet people from that time period and learn about the buildings and design of the town.
What inspired you to create Newpast?
I was inspired by my love of history, art, and technology to create Newpast. I have always had a desire to learn about the history of Peterborough since my fourth-grade school year when I created a class presentation covering the history of trains in downtown Peterborough. This led me to create pencil and ink drawings depicting downtown Peterborough in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. These are now available to view at the Trumpet Art Gallery in town. In my 6th grade year my father introduced me to the Unity 3D gaming engine, and he suggested I use it to create something that I was interested in. That is where the first idea for Newpast came from.
What program/s are you using to create these immersive VR scenarios?
I use a free gaming engine called Unity 3D and Visual Studio. Both are free and open to anyone who wants to use them. The program allows me to do as little detail in my game or as much as I like. For instance, to build the Peterborough Town House as it looked in 1886 I wanted to be sure and add as much detail as possible. Using Unity, I was able to add one brick at a time, which resulted in the finished product looking as realistic as possible. Other things like railroad tracks and the train cars I am continually working on to give it as authentic a look as possible. I also added a new feature which allows the user to view buildings in the game and view a picture of what the buildings looks like today, and their placement in the town.
How did you learn to use these programs?
My knowledge of the Unity engine was developed through YouTube instructional videos and by working together with my father who is also a programmer. It amazed me how many people created videos on how to use the Unity engine, it was very helpful, and had me programming the basics very quickly. My father also had worked with the Unity engine for his job, and we are able to discuss and work through problems I have when using the engine, he helps when I have hard programming questions. Once I had used the programming engine for two years my father and I attended a weeklong Unity 3D conference in Los Angeles, California. The conference was a week filled with mini sessions and lectures on how to fully use Unity and an introduction of some new features.
Where did you get the historically accurate photos that helped create the immersive VR scenarios?
To find all the picture and historical information about the time, I studied multiple books and images of Peterborough. I have been able, through used book and antique stores, to amass a collection of books and pictures and postcards on Peterborough. I have also spent time at the Monadnock Center for History and Culture. At the Monadnock Center, I worked with Michelle Stahl and her staff to research photos I needed and was able to view files and archived photos to help me correctly design the town. I also used a book called “Peterborough In Pictures” which was published in 1976 by the Peterborough Bicentennial Committee. This book contained the pictures and information on the “Apostolic Twelve” as they were called. This was a group of men who lived in Peterborough around the time of 1876. They were asked by a local photographer named Ollis to show up in their everyday working clothes for the photos and he choose people from all different professions. The idea was to give an idea of the type of person who lived in Peterborough. I have incorporated the portraits into my game and the user can roam around the town and have a chance to meet each of them and learn a little about them.
How long did it take you to create the VR scenarios about Peterborough?
It has taken me about 270 hours and counting to create Peterborough for Newpast: Peterborough 1886. Although this doesn’t count the three years beforehand that I spent learning Unity and C#.
What are your future plans using VR? Do you aspire to be a game designer?
Some of my future plans using the Unity 3D engine would be to create more simulations like Peterborough 1886 or maybe historic battle simulations. For more games like Peterborough 1886, I might do other towns within the New England region, or even cities like Nashua or Boston. For battle simulations I might do the Battle of Bunker Hill or Saratoga. The concept I would like to develop is that learning about the past and history is interesting and by having interactive games people of all ages can learn about how we used to live. Especially for students who like to learn through an interactive source, these games could bring the towns of the American Revolution or the Battle of Gettysburg alive for them.
I will be attending another Unity Conference this October in Los Angeles, CA to future my knowledge of the Unity Engine, learn about new software releases for the game, and to help promote my game and ideas to get feedback from other programmers.

For many, it was a family event with younger brothers and sisters visiting the high school and checking out their older siblings' work. There was a wide array of student work on display, from audio files of speeches given in English classes to 3D printing jobs for an art class and an engineering class. Science class demonstrations and real-world research projects ("What temperature differences exist in ConVal classrooms?") were displayed, as were QR-code triggered audio reflections by students and video demonstrations of proper workout techniques in Health and Wellness classes. Graphic Communication students showed off their poster artwork in the newly refurbished ATC space while a monitor in the main hallway displayed portrait photographs created by students in the Photo/Video I class. Social studies research on proving the law of supply and demand led visitors seamlessly to project displays in World Languages. An exhibit of student internship and extended learning opportunity (ELO) reports gave evidence of student learning that takes place both inside and outside the walls of ConVal High School. In all, there were 46 different stations for visitors to explore during a two-hour period. Thank you to everyone who attended the event!

Just recently, members of the PTO worked with 18 students and other young people in the Francestown community to rehearse some holiday songs.

The Childrens Literacy Foundation (CLiF) is an organization whose aim is to inspire a love of reading and writing among children throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. The intent of this grant is to build a connection for our students along with community members from within the Conval district to the joys of shared reading. Collaborating with RiverMead, the residents have already visited Pierce School and plan to continue their visits throughout the 2018-2019 school year. Seniors and students, K-4, will read to each other, connecting with a shared story and good conversation. During the first visit, there were smiles all around. Thank you Judith for arranging this inspirational program for the students at Pierce. We are all looking forward to the next get together.

This workshop demonstrated how several apps of the G-Suite for Education can be effectively integrated for instruction of large performing ensembles. The apps that were demonstrated to work seamlessly for a variety of purposes for ConVal's various chorus and band ensembles included, among others, Google Classroom, Google Sites, Google Voice, and Google Forms. The presenters explained how technology-enabled assignments in a blended learning environment made it easier to do, before the concert, critical voice checks, folder checks, playing tests and how they facilitated performance assessments after the concert. The additional information that was provided to students via Google Classroom assignments and the construction of Google sites also helped deepen the understanding of the music pieces in their respective music-historical, geographic, linguistic, and cultural contexts which, together, improved the performance of the pieces in concert.

In my family, we come to Thanksgiving with three specific things we are thankful for — my Mom makes us write them down. When I was younger, this seemed a bit corny and I consistently came up with the same list: my family, my Mom’s great cooking, etc. As I have gotten older (not old, mind you, just older), I have spent more time reflecting on the myriad of things that I have to be grateful for. I wanted to share a couple of items because they include ConVal.
Quick survey
Before we break for Thanksgiving, I was hoping you might take a few moments to give us some constructive feedback on our work around the cancellation of school last week. If you click here, you can participate in our three open-ended questions.
Is it really going to snow?!
Yep, it looks like our first real snow event is coming at the end of this week. With that, I just wanted to remind people about how snow delays and cancellations are decided.
Beginning in early November, I follow the weather at the National Weather Service. As a storm event develops, I watch for changes and look at the times that the storm is likely to occur and how long it might last.
As the storm grows closer, I may consult with a number of other people, including the bus company, road agents, other local school systems, and, depending on the anticipated severity of the storm, the State DOT.
I aim to give parents the most notice I can because, as a parent, I understand the time needed to make childcare arrangements and the inconvenience of having routines and schedules interrupted.
At times, with the forecast and information that I have, I can make the call the night before. Sometimes, the storm pattern changes so many times that I have to wait to see what is going to happen.
Those are generally the steps I take when I make a decision, but my thought process is entirely about student safety. I know that hundreds of teenage drivers are going to be driving to school and thousands of children are going to be boarding buses, and this thought is always at the center of my decision.
Just a quick reminder
Once a month I host a Superintendent Brown Bag Lunch. This month it will be on Thursday, November 29th from 11:30-12:30 at 106 Hancock Road. Please bring your lunch and join me for an informal conversation about your questions and thoughts about the ConVal School District.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Best,
Kimberly

This November AES Third Graders worked with the Harris Center and The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests to create a Salamander Population and Adaptation Research Collaboration Network (SPARCnet) Site at McCabe Forest. The SPARCnet site consists of two plots, each containing 50 wooden boards laid out in a 5x10 array. Each spring and fall students will visit the two plots three times to lift the wooden boards and collect data on the red-backed salamander populations. The data will be sent to scientists at Penn State University where they are tracking the impact of climate change and property use on the salamander populations. The red-backed salamander is the most abundant creature in our woodlands, and there for the population changes are a great indicator for scientists.

Let me begin by updating you with the information I can share. Over the last two days, we have carefully assessed the climate of our buildings. We reviewed attendance rates, we spoke to staff members, and Ann and I have visited every building to touch base with administrators and staff members. Staff have been incredible and have worked hard to make students feel secure. Wherever Ann and I went we saw students that appeared to feel happy and safe. School counselors have been present in every building across the District to speak with students who feel anxious or need to talk. Additionally, police officers have been present at key times to reassure everyone that the safety of our schools is the top priority of our communities. If you see a staff member, an administrator, or an officer, please thank them for their dedication, caring, and hard work, it made all of the difference. The students involved are presently in the judicial process and we have begun the school-based discipline process as well. While I can not share specifics with you regarding the school consequences, I can share with you the types of actions that may take place related to these types of behaviors. Students who threaten the safety of school are consequenced consistent with the law and the response that is necessary to address the threat. Actions include discipline that ranges from suspension, (students are neither in school or on school property for up to 10 days) long-term suspension, (students are neither in school or on school property for more than 10 days) and up to and including expulsion (students are excluded from school and can not be on property, and may request of the Board to be readmitted at the beginning of each year, the Board can deny them re-admittance in certain situations).This is above and beyond any additional adjudication that the police may decide to pursue. This has been a difficult week and we here at ConVal recognize and empathize with the feelings of frustration and anxiety that many of you have faced this week and may continue to face in the weeks to come. As we process the events, we will be reaching out to parents and community members and ask you to share reflections from your perspective. We still have work to do to further streamline our protocols and processes and we will need your feedback to do so. For now, I would like to sincerely thank the hundreds of parents and community members who reached out with kind words of encouragement and gratitude, you will likely never know how grateful we were for them. I hope you are able to find some time to relax over the long weekend.

NEA-NH President, Megan Tuttle, and Manchester Monarchs Players came to Third Grade as part of the "Read Across New Hampshire with the Monarchs" program. After reading, the players answered questions and signed items for our classrooms! The players were impressed with our newest school value, GRIT. The Monarchs give out GRIT awards after each game - very similar to our EAGLES for showing GRIT.
Tickets are available for the Monarchs game on December 1st by going through this link: https://monarchs.spinzo.com/antrimpto

The final game was played on November 4th. After the game, coach Ellingwood summed up the game this way: "For the second year in a row, our Unified Soccer Team played Exeter for the championship. Exeter has become our rival in Unified Sports. We have had very competitive contests in both Basketball and Soccer, including last year's Championship game victory and this year's opening game 3-2 loss in Overtime. Being highly motivated to win back-to-back State Championships, we started off with a bang as Andres Tourgee stole the ball from an Exeter defender, dribbled into the penalty area, and fired a beautiful shot into the right-hand corner to give us a quick 1-0 lead. Both teams took turns controlling play without scoring until Exeter tied the game with under 2 minutes left before halftime. We then exploded for three goals in the third quarter. Dylan Coyne, Isiah DeBarros, and Garrett Shows all scored to give us a comfortable 4-1 lead. Dylan scored our 5th goal with a booming shot from about 20 yards out halfway through the final quarter. We protected our lead with fantastic defense, giving up just one goal. With 10 seconds to go, the team and all the ConVal fans started the countdown to the final buzzer and the celebration began as we had won back-to-back State Championships with a 5-2 victory!" Coaches Ellingwood and Bean ended their championship game summary with congratulations to the Team and "a big thank you to all supporters of Unified Soccer!"

After a back-and-forth first half, Coe-Brown struck first, three minutes into the second half. Trailing for just the fourth time all season, the Cougars rebounded in a big way. Over the next ten minutes, Taylor Burgess, Colby Knight, and Finn Wegmueller all scored to bring the score to 3-1. A Coe-Brown goal with about seven minutes to play made things interesting late, but ConVal held on to win 3-2 to win the first boys soccer championship in the history of ConVal Regional High School.

Budgets established by the eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and the high school were examined, as were the district's administrative expenses and program offerings. This first round in the district-wide budget development process began with three sets of assumptions for the 2019-2020 fiscal year — procedural, financial, and programmatic. Procedural assumptions are those assumptions that support the mission, vision, and values of the District. These assumptions include referencing ConVal class size guidelines, annual reviews of Special Education caseloads, and the potential reallocation of existing resources. Financial assumptions primarily deal with fixed costs. They include items such as collective bargaining agreements, contractual obligations, health insurance costs, utilities, and legal obligations. Programmatic assumptions deal with curriculum, the continuum of services for identified students, community education program, and technology investments and upgrades. Board members looked over every line item to determine what the overall expected expenditures would look like for the 2019-2020 school year and where savings could be made. Another development session is planned for November 13th when budget portions will be further researched and revised before the Budget and Property Committee meeting at 5:30 pm that day. The budget will continue to be reviewed and refined before it will be presented to voters in March 2019.

The festival accepts serious high school singers in grades 10-12. ConVal singers who participated were: Grace Christensen '20, Aria Drew '20, Sean Grady '20, Patrick LaCroix '19, Liam McCall '20, Grace Phillips '21, Sean Roberts '19, and Cambria Wozmak '19. Our students joined with over 200 singers from 45 schools throughout New England to prepare works for performance in collaboration with PSU choirs and alumni soloists. The theme for this year's concert was "All of Us" based on the final chorus in Craig Hella Johnson's oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard. In addition to "All of Us", the students performed "The Listening" a new work by Cheryl B. Englehardt based on MLK's 1963 speech called "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break The Silence," a piece Sean Caldwell and Paul Ivory called "Soweto: June 1967" about the student uprising in South Africa to protest apartheid, and "Flight Song" by Kim Andre Arnesen. After the performance, we also met up with some recent ConVal singer alumni — Riley Bemont, Max Kerwin and Bridget Grady — who are currently attending PSU.

It is important to note the significant increase in the “local education” portion of your tax rates. The ConVal School Board wishes to explain how this year’s approved school budget impacted tax bills. After many years of relatively flat school budgets, this year’s total increase in local assessment amounts to just over $3.3 million. In March of 2018, voters approved a $48 million budget for the 2018-2019 school year. This was an increase of $1.1 million to the operating budget, part of which includes funding for the renovated science labs at the high school, as well as a $1.7 million salary and benefits contract, providing a much-needed increase in teachers’ and paraprofessionals’ pay to make ConVal regionally competitive. The remaining half million dollars was due to various changes in revenues from state and federal sources (adequacy aid, health insurance reimbursements, catastrophic aid, and Title I). While district voters did choose to support the fact finder’s report regarding a benefits package for our teachers and paraprofessionals, it did bring with it some challenges for the Board and Administration. In past years, budget increases and decreases of a few hundred thousand were more common. However, as a result of this year’s increase, we knew we were looking at a district-wide assessment increase between 11 and 12 percent; it came in at an average of 11.8 percent. This information is now with the NH Department of Revenue Administration (DRA), the state office which will soon be setting your final tax rates. The Board will to continue to work hard, together with the Administration, to develop budgets that take the best advantage of our resources, deliver an excellent education for our students, and keep taxes at a responsible level. In addition, the Board thanks voters for their continued support of public education. The 2018 vote showed a huge commitment to the ConVal District, and could not be matched by many districts across the state. We ask that you continue to stay informed and participate as voters in the democratic process at the local, state, and federal levels. Please visit the ConVal School Board website for upcoming meetings and new information throughout this year’s budget process. We also invite readers to further understand their tax bills and the school budget process by visiting our website (http://schoolboard.convalsd.net/). A detailed informational article will soon be available.

While New Hampshire is rated one of the best places to raise children, elementary and secondary public-school enrollment has consistently declined over the past decade. This decline raises questions for districts about the possible need to consolidate functions across schools, including combining districts and SAUs, especially in today’s environment when the state is reducing its financial contribution to K-12 education, costs continue to increase, and certain towns are near or at their financial limit in terms of tapping their residents for further property tax increases.

The evening began with free pizza and a short video about the “importance of reading with your child”. Staff shared with parents how a salt tray can be useful for math fact, sight word, and spelling pattern practice. Parents were also shown many math games simply using a deck of cards or a set of dominoes. Popsicle sticks can be used to play Moose and flash cards for Peek a Boo to help learn sight words and develop long term memory. Child care was provided by high school students Molly Cole, Haiden Burnside, and Lilly James. Fun was had by all.

As part of this festival, the students come together for a morning of workshops, rehearsal and then an adjudicated evening performance. During the morning workshops, students had the option to attend classes on arranging music, stage presence and choreography, beatboxing, Barbershop music, working with microphones, body mapping and more. They also had the opportunity to perform for Ball in the House, a professional, Boston-based a cappella group, and receive one-on-one coaching and feedback on their performance. During the evening portion, each student group performed two songs for adjudicators in a concert that also features university a cappella groups, various other choirs from around the state of New Hampshire, and a performance by Ball in the House. You can watch videos of the performance here.

Matt Hall, Deputy Chief, and his son Mason, Keith Nason, Deputy Chief, Jason Powers, Rescue Captain and Sarah Powers, EMT, showed the children different elements of the equipment they wear when they fight fires. Then Jason Powers dressed in the uniform, bottom to top, to show the children that underneath the fire suit and mask there is a friend who will help them. Through the remainder of the day, each class went to the Fire Station for safety demonstrations in the fire trailer, and took part in a mock emergency. Every child practiced getting down low and crawling to the closest exit to escape the simulated smoke, even climbing out of the trailer window. The firemen gave students the opportunity to explore the fire engine too. Our friends at the Bennington Fire Department sure know how to make serious life saving information memorable and fun too. Thank you for a very special day at Pierce.

Prior to the visit, the class learned that the Great Bay is an estuary - a land form where freshwater and seawater meet. Estuaries are critical habitats for many animals as well as places for several bird species to stop along their migration routes. The 4th graders also learned about the Abenaki Natives who lived in the region and how they used the natural resources found in the estuary to survive. The early European settlers who came to the region and established New Hampshire as a colony also utilized its resources. It was an amazing experience for all!

Forrest was part of a group of educators and aid volunteers with the group Good Soil Partners who worked in the village of Kangoma. She met with teachers and students and taught lessons at the pre-school and primary school levels. Most Malawi students learn Chichewa as their native language but start to learn English in primary school. While primary education in Malawi is free, students are required to purchase their own school uniform, pens, and notebooks. The average student-teacher ratio is 69:1 and the completion rate of primary education is 74%. Part of the presentation to students at Pierce School was also devoted to Forrest sharing her pictures from a safari that she took at the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, following her work in Malawi. There were photos of elephants, water buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, lions, and a leopard. "The presentation was wonderful," Ms. Sutton said afterward. "My students will be making her a book today about the animals she saw on her safari. This was a great integrated learning project!"

[post_content] => The ConVal School Counseling Department partnered with the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF) to present information about college financial aid options.
The presentation laid out the steps necessary to navigate through the federal financial aid process (FAFSA), explored what type of aid programs are available, reviewed scholarship searches, and highlighted the importance of meeting deadlines. Though applicable to all college-bound students, this program was specifically geared toward seniors and their parents.
The NHHEAF Network Organizations has over 50 years of experience in helping families plan and pay for higher education. The Organizations are comprised of three independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit agencies: New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF), Granite State Management & Resources (GSM&R) and New Hampshire Higher Education Loan Corporation (NHHELCO). The interconnectedness of these organizations provides students and schools with expertise in all aspects of the student loan industry.

We were hopeful the rains would hold off until we arrived at school, but that wasn't the case. However, we did not let a few raindrops ruin the fun, and many of our students disembarked the bus or were dropped off at Dublin General Store and we made our way up the hill to school! Thanks to the Dublin Police Chief for crossing us safely! A fun trip for all!

On Friday, October 5th, Antrim Elementary 4th graders visited to Sturbridge Village. We had many dedicated family members there as chaperones to share in the historic fun. Some of the popular activities were seeing blacksmiths at work, interviewing the village attorney, and seeing animals at Freeman Farm. It was a beautiful day and students and their families had an awesome time exploring. Each 4th grade student will now choose an occupation to research and dress up as for our Colonial Fair which we will host in November.

Earlier this year, a complete renovation of four classrooms/laboratories used by the Science Department at ConVal was approved and funded by the School Board and district voters. The initial project estimate was over $1.5 million. The work was funded by a combination of capital reserve funds and a construction bond. Hutter Construction of New Ipswich was the construction general contractor. A number of local businesses as well as the district facilities staff were involved in the first major upgrade of these spaces since the high school was built in the early 1970s. During the last week of school, the designated rooms were emptied of all materials and furnishings and the demolition phase of the project began on June 25, just as the 2017-2018 school year ended. Several walls were moved and new ventilation systems were installed, along with electrical and plumbing upgrades. The project also included new cabinetry, counters, sinks, and other furnishings. The biggest challenge was the tight schedule to complete this project but the job was completed and the rooms were ready for occupation and classes by the end of September. Total costs have come in under the estimate as well. Be sure to visit if you have an opportunity at the next ConVal Celebrations of Learning!

The ATC has remained in continuous operation since its beginning in the 1990's. Over the last four years, there has been a concerted effort by our school board and the district to revitalize and update our programs to better serve our students. To that end, there has been considerable outreach to local businesses and manufacturers resulting in programs being discontinued, revised or added. The center features several state approved programs in a variety of fields that are offered to our students and students from other local high schools. Examples of these programs range from computer programming, graphic arts, fire safety as well as our most recent addition in manufacturing. These programs are often tied in with opportunities for students to do internships and to obtain free college credits. These credits can be applied towards degrees from local community colleges and even some job opportunities. In the past, the CVHS and ATC offered the public post high school community education programs. Unfortunately, due to a recession and various budgetary reasons, the adult education programs were discontinued . However, some exciting developments to help bring back this great community resource and connection is the probability that Nashua Community College (NCC) will begin to offer college programs to the public in the Spring of 2019. These courses will be offered after the regular school day at our high school campus. We have been working with NCC to develop a cooperative agreement that would allow the college to use our facilities after hours in return for providing free seats at these college credit classes for some our students. These courses will be open to the community as well for a fee. We envision Conval as a center of education that benefits the region in its entirety with educational opportunities for all ages. This first in the state cooperative effort, between your Conval High school and NCC will offer affordable college degree opportunities and job opportunities to both our students at the high school as well all adults in our area. We look forward to providing you with additional updates as they become available.

Third graders from Mrs. Hill and Mr. Morris’ classes hiked Pack Monadnock Thursday to participate in the annual Raptor Migration count. Students have been studying several things leading up to this trip including weather instruments to help predict good days for migration, adaptations that allow raptors to thrive in their environment, and identification of the three types of raptors we see most often in New Hampshire (buteos, accipitors, and falcons). After a two-hour hike that included lots of teamwork, a few moose tracks, and lots of runoff from the previous night’s thunderstorms, they made it to the top with smiles and a great sense of achievement! They were treated to a quick lesson about the work the New Hampshire Audubon and the Harris Center are doing at the Raptor Observatory after eating lunch and taking in the views. The students impressed the presenter with their knowledge of raptors! While at the observatory they were able to see several kettles of broad winged hawks, a few ravens, and a bald eagle! The Raptor Observatory is open seven days a week from September 1st through November 15th. You can find more information on the Harris Center website here: https://harriscenter.org/conservation-research/pack-monadnock-raptor-observatory/visiting-the-hawk-watch

We met naturalist Susie Spikol of the Harris Center for Conservation Education. We collected data, used scientific tools including binoculars, and discussed thermals used by the hawks to help them fly long distances with minimal energy. Did you know that hawks can fly for many miles without flapping their wings? They are great at saving their energy! On our hawk watch we counted 47 Broad Winged Hawks, 14 Turkey Vultures and 1 Red Tailed Hawk. Other nature sightings included snakes, grasshoppers, a praying mantis and pickerel frogs! The day did not disappoint. We all enjoyed time together and loved the warm sunshine.

Each year, the James Dyson Foundation hosts high school brain-teasing challenges that engage students in STEM concepts. The challenge was to design and build a chair from only cardboard materials. Engineering teacher Karen Fabianski was impressed to see this group's model and final product. "Their chair is both sturdy and elegant," Fabianski said.

I know from personal experience that adjusting to a new school year is all encompassing, there are lunches to pack, supplies to purchase, and schedules to become accustomed to, so please accept a very sincere thank you for the support you have provided to your children and the staff in our schools through our opening days. Your support ensured that the District had a FANTASTIC opening. While no opening is without some challenges, students and teachers were happy to get back to school and ready to get back to learning, teaching, and growing. Now that school has been underway for just about a month routines have been developed and we can see that students have begun to return to the rhythm of school days. I hope you have had the opportunity to attend your students’ open houses and have seen what has been accomplished in the first weeks of school. The last two days have certainly let us know that the warm days of summer are behind us and for me that means before long I will be watching the forecast diligently. Before the first chance of snow, I always like to ensure that our phone alert system is working, so I will be conducting a preliminary alert broadcast this Thursday, September 27th beginning at 6 PM. If you do not receive a phone call from me with a recorded message between 6PM and 7PM please email me directly at ksaunders@conval.edu and I will be sure that the correct person receives your email. You may remember, perhaps too vividly, last year saw an unprecedented amount of large-scale school violence. While the media has stopped having that conversation, at ConVal we have not. Following the events, we looked carefully at our practices and procedures and I also began meeting with local law enforcement to hear their thoughts and listen to their recommendations. Many thanks to our local police chiefs who gave up their time to discuss with me our plans in the case of violence. As a result of those discussions, the District has committed time and resources to make our schools safer by training all District staff in a safety protocol referred to as - ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Escape). During the course of this year staff will receive training and we will begin making changes to our protocols with the help of local police and other community supports. As these changes begin to be put in place I will keep you informed. As I mentioned the last time I wrote, I am working to communicate in a variety of different ways this year. We have increased our social media presence through Facebook, (“We Are ConVal”) and Twitter (@WeAreConVal) and this Thursday, September 27th, from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM, I will host the first Superintendent Brown Bag Lunch at the SAU offices at 106 Hancock Road, Peterborough. Please consider bringing your lunch and joining me for conversation about the District, there is no set agenda or presentation, just a time for you to ask questions or share thoughts. Have a wonderful week! Best,
Kimberly

Not to mention, one of the most fulfilling. You have the opportunity to help shape a child’s future for the better by empowering them to achieve. And the best part is, it’s actually a lot of fun. You and your Little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do. Play sports together. Go on a hike. Read books. Eat a pizza with extra anchovies. Or just give some advice and inspiration. Whatever it is you enjoy, odds are you’ll enjoy them even more with your Little—and you’ll be making a life-changing impact. Volunteering just a few hours a month with a child can start something amazing. So why not apply to be a Big today. There are kids out there ready to get started. Are you? Think you want to be a Big Brother/Big Sister? Learn more at the special TASC talk on October 3.

Their presentation, "Google Apps in Music Classrooms," explored the ways in which regular technology tools that are contained in the G Suite for Education can be uniquely adapted to assist in the teaching of band and chorus ensembles and how they can personalize student learning opportunities. Dr. Sandra A. Howard, Chair of the Keene State Music Department, wrote after the presentation to thank Morin and Wickham for the guest lecture, which had resulted from an invitation that was issued after seeing the duo present at the New Hampshire Music Educators Association's All-State Conference in April. "The topics addressed in your presentation align with technology use and curriculum development that our students are considering as they enter the teaching profession. The assortment of examples and teaching applications provided attendees with ideas and experiences on how they can establish a positive and inclusive learning environment for students in both ensembles and a general music setting." "We are proud to collaborate with individuals like you who are eager to share expertise and experiences with our pre-service educators," Dr. Howard concluded. "I look forward to our continued collaboration and the opportunity to learn from your work again in the future."

[post_content] => As part of the statewide “New Hampshire Tackles Hunger” campaign, ConVal High School is partnering with our football team and WMUR in a concerted effort to help stock up local food pantries. Hunger and food insecurity are very real problems in our communities.
According to the latest statistics, about 13% of children are living in food insecure environments, meaning they do not know where their next meal will come from.
Please encourage your student to contribute some non-perishable food to this very important effort. Several items are of particular need, including peanut butter, jelly, tuna, soups, pasta, sauce and canned fruits and vegetables. Please, do not bring food in glass containers.
Food donations will be accepted in the main office and the main hallway of ConVal.
Several ConVal teams got a headstart and went shopping to get the food collection started. Last year, nearly 1,650 lbs in food donations and about $1,310 in cash were collected.

We had a warm and overcast first day back in the garden on September 13th. The students found the garden overflowing with plants. Jumping right into this season's theme of Field Investigation, students searched for evidence of Summer garden care. We devoured a fresh snack of ground cherries, basil, kale, and chives.We brought fully developed radish plants into the shade to inspire scientific drawings in the garden journals . Our student gardeners planted pea shoots and lettuces to grow in the approaching cooler weather.

On the evening of September 13th, Antrim Elementary hosted its annual Open House. We were pleased to have such a large turnout from families and the community. Teachers eagerly shared what the students will be learning this year, and students proudly showed off their classrooms. Local organizations such as the Grapevine, End 68 Hours of Hunger, the Lion's Club, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Fresh Picks, and the PTO all had displays in the multi-purpose room to make connections and offer information. We also had fingerprinting services available for volunteers. This was the first event of many where AES students, families and community members will be able to make connections for the benefit of our students.

On Friday, Antrim Elementary Eagles met their reading buddy for the year. Each class pairs up on Friday afternoons with a class from a different grade level. It's a great way to end our week and share an enjoyment for reading together. Students often pick out books especially to read with our buddies. For example, Mrs. Zawacki's 1st grade class chose Eric Carle books to read with Mr. MacLeod's 4th grade class during their first session together. Reading buddies is the highlight of many eagles' weeks!

The guest speakers included company representatives from BAE Systems, Hitchner, MilliporeSigma, Monadnock Paper Mill, NH Ball Bearings, and the NH Manufacturing Extension Partnership.

The first day of school can be new and exciting, and sometimes it can be a little scary too. In an effort to make our youngest learners feel safe, welcome, and familiar with the building and routines, teachers and staff gave them tours of the building. Stops included the main office, the lunch room, gymnasium, playground, and other areas of the school. Not only did students learn where people and places are, but they also learned how to form a line, safely walk in the hallways, and how to greet each other. A start to a great year ahead!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to share with you that all middle and high school students will be provided with a district-issued Chromebook during the month of September. Having a Chromebook will allow students to access digital course content and materials, including digital textbooks. Having a Chromebook will also support students to meet the following standards:
Empowered Learner - Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
Digital Citizen - Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.
Knowledge Constructor - Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.
Innovative Designer - Students use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
Computational Thinker - Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
Creative Thinker - Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Before distributing district-issued Chromebooks to students, students and parents/guardians need to sign and return to school the ConVal School District’s Student & Parent/Guardian Chromebook Loan Agreement. A hard copy of this form is being sent home with high school students today and middle school students next week.
This agreement requires students and parents/guardians to review the District’s Blended Learning Parent & Student Handbook, which includes the District’s Internet Use and Responsible Use Policy for Students. These documents can also be found, along with additional resources, at the http://convalsd.net/curriculum-and-assessment/11-initiative/orientation-resources/. Hard copies of these resources can be provided upon request.
For those of you interested and available, I invite you to join me along with some members of the District’s Blended Learning Leadership Team next Wednesday, September 5th from 6:00 to 6:30 in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre at ConVal High School for a presentation on Blended Learning in the ConVal School District. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to ask questions. This presentation will be repeated on Thursday, September 6th from 6:00 to 6:30 at Great Brook Middle School in Antrim.
Sincerely,
Ann E. Forrest, Ed. D.
Assistant Superintendent
ConVal Regional School District

A little like the night before Christmas, but not quite. Educators, students, and parents are all anticipating what the first day of school will bring and how this school year might be different than last. For me, this year is about continuing to improve communication with all ConVal District stakeholders. The District is doing important work — from providing more individualized pathways for students to continuing to look at alternative District organizational options. No matter what the topic, we need to communicate often about our work. But tomorrow, tomorrow is different, because tomorrow we do only one thing. . . we welcome back your students. We spend tomorrow thinking only about how we can best make your students feel comfortable and excited about what this year will bring for them. In order to accomplish this, we need your help. Please be sure to double check your students' bus route, we know that there have had to be some very recent, necessary changes due to registrations, construction, and other unforeseen circumstances. You can double check your students’ bus route and bus stop by clicking here. Also, please consider allowing a few extra minutes in your morning routine tomorrow, whether it is for the bus or drop off, as new routines may need a day or so to iron out. You will also be able to see the bus routes on Twitter, by clicking here and/or join us on Facebook by clicking here. We will be using both platforms as a way to make announcements (snow days included), to share information, and to showcase your students’ achievements. Additionally, I plan to post this “blog” at least monthly, if not more often, and also instituting a Superintendent’s Brown Bag Lunch monthly for community members who would like to come in and ask questions or share their thoughts regarding the District. If you have additional suggestions regarding communication, we would love to hear them. Throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact me, either through email ksaunders@conval.edu, by phone 924-3336 extension 2028, or if you see me at an event or at a school. I am always interested in hearing from you and listening to your perspectives and experiences with the District, so please do reach out. Thank you for your continued support of ConVal. I am excited to see your students return and continue the tradition of touring every school during the first day. Have a great evening and welcome to the ConVal School Year 2018-2019 — it will be great!

Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins, Jr.
A Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film Original Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman Book by Julian Fellowes New Songs and Additional Music and Lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe Co-Created by Cameron Mackintosh
Adopted by iTheatrics under the supervision of Timothy Allen McDonald
Directed by Rachel Diemler, Brian Moore, & Elizabeth Moore
ConVal Drama presents “Mary Poppins, Jr. ” on Thursday, August 2nd at 6 pm, and Friday, August 3rd at 2 pm and 6 pm in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre at ConVal High School, Peterborough. Tickets are available at cvlht.com and at the door for $5. “Mary Poppins Jr.” is presented in association with ConVal Summer Academy and features the fifth annual collaboration between ConVal High School, Great Brook Middle School and South Meadow Middle School. Students coming into 5th-12th grades participated in a four week course to put together this 60-minute version of the Broadway production. Originally published by P.L. Travers in 1934, the 1964 movie version garnered 13 Academy Award Nominations, the most for any Disney film. Adapted for the stage in 2004, the stage version melds the delightfully catchy tunes of the film with additional stories from the books. Classic songs such as “Jolly Holiday,” “Spoonful of Sugar,” and the Academy Award Winning “Chim Chim Cher-ee” are joined by several new additions from the Broadway production like “Practically Perfect” and “Anything Can Happen.” This fresh and magical presentation is just the ticket for family fun on a warm summer afternoon or evening. ConVal District students performing in “Mary Poppins, Jr.” are: Alexis Cleary, Katorina Keenan, and Mary Quintanilha of Bennington, Brynn Frosch of Antrim, Haley Serafine of Francestown, Alanna Batty of Greenfield, Abby Theberge of Hancock, Clara Christensen, Grace Christensen, Miranda Craig, Alissa Cutting, Chloe Griggs, Cheyenne Heinselman, Liliana Juarez, Gabrielle Klaessig, Daniel McCall, Mackenzie Mullins, Sean Roberts, and Inaya Vaidya of Peterborough, and Paulina Allen of Temple. Josh Ellis, Miranda Ellis, Ruthana Ellis, and Avery Swasey of Peterborough, and Ryan Jackson, Petra McLay, and Priscilla St. Pierre of Antrim are designing and implementing all technical elements. Former ConVal students Cassie Cutting ’15 (music and choreography) and Michael Zrzavy ’17 (lighting, sound, sets), both of Peterborough, are assisting as student mentors.

Director of Human Resources Tim Markley served as the Master of Ceremonies. In her introductory remarks, Superintendent Kimberly Saunders reflected: "On opening day last summer, I said that no other staff is prepared for this coming year as you are. You have worked extremely hard, and today I say: No one deserves this celebration and the upcoming time to renew and regenerate as you do." Saunders reviewed the accomplishments of the last year, including the passing of the budget and the new teacher contract. School Board Chairman Myron Steere thanked teachers for their dedication and hard work in providing a quality education to all students in the district. Saunders then recognized individual staff members for their respective years of service, including some who have been with the ConVal School District for more than 25 years. Several staff members received special recognitions from their principals and peers on the occasion of their retirement, including Katherine Fox, Eileen Couture, and Peter Ketchum. Business Administrator Marian Alese was thanked for her many years of service with three speeches by Facilities Director Tim Grossi, Superintendent Kimberly Saunders, and South Meadow School teacher Dorene Decibus. Decibus, in her role as Board member of the New Hampshire Excellence in Education Awards, conferred the EDies' School Administrator Award to Marian Alese. The staff appreciation event concluded with the drawing of door prizes sponsored by the school district and local businesses. New this year, a skills component was added that allowed every fifth raffle prize winner to also toss for a chance to win a cornhole set; Liz Walton was the winner of the cornhole contest. A big thank you to Tim Markley, Denise McLenon, Brenda Marschok, Carol Hills, Koren Krslovic, and everyone else who helped make this event the success that it was. To all ConVal teachers, congratulations on a successful 2017-2018 school year. We look forward to seeing you again in August!

The students' presentations ranged from the effect of saltwater on Gummi bears and the importance of adding salt to cookies to the conductive properties of salts and electrolytes enabling low-voltage transmission. Other projects addressed the negative effects that salts have on wildlife, especially snails, by causing dehydration, the differing densities of a water column depending on salt content, the inner workings of a lava lamp using oil, water, and salt, and a clever way to separate salt from pepper by using a statically charged comb. All student experiments were solidly researched and well presented in the target language. The students with the two winning entries at this world language science fair each received a $10 Amazon gift card. Congratulations to all students in the two classes who combined science knowledge and German skills in such an impressive manner!

Kim Coronis, Policy and Program Manager, and Allyssa Thompson, Director of Programs at Breathe New Hampshire, jointly addressed vaping as an issue that impacts students in their vital years of development but all too frequently remains hidden from parents. The program provided parents, students, educators, and community members the opportunity to learn more about the impact of vaping, JUULing and nicotine addiction, including the latest trends in New Hampshire. The presentation pointed out that vaping as one of the largest unregulated industries in the United States and discussed the health effects of vaping, including debilitating diseases such as popcorn lung. The 45-minute presentation was followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience who had an opportunity to handle actually vaping devices to see how easily they can be disguised as flash drives, phone look-alikes, and even hoodie drawstrings.

There will be stories, crafts, workshops, games, and field trips for readers of all ages to enjoy. This year, Mrs. MacGregor invited the talented Steve Blunt to join her during her visit to Pierce School for an hour of sing along songs and stories. Steve Blunt is an award-winning children's musician from New Hampshire. His repertoire includes songs and stories for all ages which are fun and educational. Along with songs of his own making, Steve’s shows feature traditional American and multicultural material. The halls rocked Monday with rousing renditions and laughter as the whole school joined in with Steve's songs and stories. Thank you Dodge Library for an afternoon of fun. We know the summer program will rock!

The event also honored the accomplishments of the outgoing seniors in both ensembles. The Band and Chorus Potluck is an annual event where all music department students come together for an evening to wrap up and reflect on their year of field trips, festivals, and performances. This year, students hung out, played yard games, and battled each other on an inflatable jousting ring. Besides the jousting ring, the highlight of the evening is the presentation of the senior superlative awards, where each senior is recognized by their peers and given a parting gift from their ensemble director.

The movie, part of Habib’s Intelligent Lives documentary project, follows ConVal student Garrett Shows as he attends classes, participates in Unified Basketball, completes an internship, and holds a job at the local supermarket.
The documentary highlights how ConVal has put in place a number of evidence-based transition strategies for Garrett and other students with disabilities. These strategies include an emphasis on inclusive education, student-led IEP meetings, internships and extended learning opportunities, Unified Sports, paid work opportunities, family engagement and a regular diploma track for students with intellectual disabilities.
After each of the three screenings, Shows and Habib interacted with the audience, fielded questions, and asked how ConVal can do an even better job of being inclusive of students with different abilities.
ConVal Superintendent Kimberly Saunders and School Board member Linda Quintanilha met with Habib after the last showing and were offered the opportunity to show the full-length Intelligent Lives documentary at ConVal in the fall.

Their task is to monitor and to respond to issues that directly impact businesses of all industries and sizes, and to provide them with a direct connection to the legislative process. Once a year, the BIA publishes Enterprise, a magazine that is devoted to discussing the challenges and successes of New Hampshire businesses. On the cover of this year's edition is Anthony Clark, a ConVal High School student who completed an internship with Graphicast in Jaffrey. Next to Anthony is Val Zanchuk, Graphicast's president and past chair of the BIA. In the magazine, Zanchuk discusses how his company has teamed up with ConVal's Career and Technical Education (CTE) program to provide internship opportunities to students who are interested in a manufacturing career. “I have an intern from ConVal,” Zanchuk says in the article, referring to Clark. “He’s learning about design, he’s learning about working on machining, he’s going to be working on programming machinery and he’ll be learning about plant operations by being here.” You can read the article "Manufacturing leads New Hampshire's Economy" by clicking here and read the online version of Enterprise magazine, in its entirety, by following this link. The NH BIA represents more than 400 members in a variety of industries, including advanced manufacturing, high technology, professional services, financial services, healthcare, hospitality and tourism, public utilities, higher education, and insurance. Member firms employ 89,000 people throughout the state, which represents one in seven jobs, and contribute $4.5 billion annually to the state’s economy. Enterprise is published by McLean Communications and is distributed statewide.

Mrs. Topping's class donned their architect hats last week. As part of their engineering unit they read, Twenty-One Elephants and Still Standing by April Jones Prince. It tells the true story of the 14 year construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. At first, people were intimidated by its size, worried about its strength and questioned how long it would last. This lead P.T. Barnum, founder of “The Greatest Show on Earth” to march his elephants through Manhattan and over the bridge to Brooklyn to show just how magnificent a structure it was. Our class worked in small groups and used the design process to construct bridges to hold 21 toy elephants. After lots of planning, testing, and revising, all bridges successfully supported the elephants. It took lots of team work, but they had a lot of fun and learned a great deal about problem solving and the design process!

For seven weeks we have the opportunity to have a hands on garden curriculum designed to excite and inspire a generation of enthusiastic young gardeners. Each week on Thursdays at Pierce School, Cornucopia Project educator Lauren Judd, and Master Gardener Volunteer Peggy Saunders, introduce the first grade students to the fundamentals of gardening: maintaining healthy soil for seeds and starts, caring for young plants, and of course, tasting all the delicious fresh fruits and vegetables that are produced in the school gardens at Pierce. Students have also been provided with their very own garden journal to record their observations. The gardens are maintained over the summer by parents, students and staff from Cornucopia. In the fall the students return as 2nd graders and finish the project with a culminating harvest feast. Then they put the beds to rest for the winter and the cycle starts all over again for the 1st grade in the spring.

Creating the works were three pairs of collaborators: seniors Nik Batty & Anna McGuiness, juniors Eamon Welby & Jaclyn Clark, and art department chair Ben Putnam and his wife Ann Putnam. All works needed to be 4'x4' and were inspired by Dan Forrest's composition "Requiem For The Living." The art works were displayed in the Peterborough Town House where the Monadnock Chorus performed Dan Forrest's powerful "Requiem for the Living", Beethoven's "Elegische Gesang", and Elgar's "Nimrod from Enigma Variations."

Perfect spring weather greeted PES gardeners on Tuesday. Cornucopia teachers Kathleen, Lauren and Master Gardener Peggy first led the students in an activity to correctly sequence the story of the life cycle of a seed. The students then cooperated to transplant kale and lettuce seedlings. Spinach, pea shoots, carrots, beets and another variety of lettuce were all planted from seeds directly into the garden beds. We were excited to find that the asparagus planted in 2015 is thriving and will be ready for eating during our gardening sessions.
We’re excited to see all that will grow this season!

The show was dedicated to the topic "Intelligent Lives: Challenging Perceptions About Intelligence and Ability." The show explained the benefits of inclusion, both for those who are differently abled and for the general student population at ConVal Regional High School. Garrett spoke eloquently about his challenges and his achievements as well as his after-school job, his participation in internship experiences, and athletic endeavors, including Unified Basketball and Unified Soccer. One of the callers on the show was Andres Tourgee, one of Garrett's classmates. Garrett spoke with gratitude of the support he gets from his classmates like Andres, Dalton, and Dylan. The other show panelists, in addition to Garrett's father Dan Shows, were Dan Habib, filmmaker for UNH's Institute on Disability, and creator of the award-winning documentaries Including Samuel, Who Cares About Kelsey?, and Mr. Connolly Has ALS, and Marianne Leone, Executive Producer of Intelligent Lives, and author of the 2010 book, Jessie: A Mother's Story, about her son, who had cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Leone and her husband, Chris Cooper, who narrates the film, founded the Jesse Cooper Foundation. You can listen to the archive of the show by clicking this link.

On Wednesday, students from Mrs. Seale's fourth-grade class at Francestown Elementary School and students from ConVal High School collaborated on creating a pirate-themed story in Ms. Vanat's English classroom. The collaboration was inspired by District Arts Integration Coordinator Jeannie Connolly. Together, the students did some prewriting exercises that explored famous pirate characters from literature and film, the lives that they have been portrayed as leading, the types of ships on which they sailed, and the activities in which they engaged. Also part of the lesson was a lesson in geography, such as naming the world's major oceans. After the pre-writing assignments, the students worked in pairs or small groups to write and illustrate their stories. The Peterborough Children and the Arts Festival will take place on May 19. For program details, please see the organization's website at childrenandthearts.org.

The first big night occurred on Wednesday, April 25. Students and parents gathered in Hancock with reflective vests, flashlights and rain gear to safely cross amphibians across busy roads.

The Academy is a great way to extend student learning through the summer to prevent the usual “summer slide” — the traditional loss of academic skills and knowledge over the course of the summer holidays. Taking ConVal Summer Academy courses also helps to get requirements and electives out of the way so that your student's class schedule can remain flexible and open to opportunities during the regular school year. The Academy offers participation in a musical drama production, art instruction in ceramics, metalsmithing and jewelry making, a class on history through graphic novels, and a course in forensic science, just to mention some of the most popular selections. In addition, the Academy offers credit recovery and readiness courses in Mathematics as well as regular courses (e.g. American Government, American Economics) that can be accomplished on a concentrated time schedule. Attendance in the Summer Academy is free for students of the ConVal School District, including incoming freshmen. All that is required is a $50 deposit for attending a class, a fee that is refunded upon completion of the course. New this year, there are two day-long workshops organized by the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance Foundation (NHHEAF), one specializing in the college admissions process, the other concentrating on the college admissions essay. For further details, please see this course description and signup brochure or email John Reitnauer with questions.

Susie Spikol-Faber led an interactive discussion about owls that included a special kid friendly drawing of owl adaptations. Students viewed various owl mounts including the large Great Horned Owl and small Saw-Whet. The excitement continued when we went outside to practice calling the Barred Owl. Children learned the call and took turns trying to get these silent flyers to communicate. Although we didn’t have success, families learned how to call and can try doing so at home! Happy owling!

The one-week Leadership Program will be held in Greenfield, NH at the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Conference Center in August 2018.
The SLP is a residential week of leadership development, self-discovery, and social connection. SLP brings together up to 100 diverse high school students from across NH and New England. Throughout the week, participants increase their knowledge on a variety of topics, including substance misuse and addiction, bullying, sexual health, conflict resolution, and health and wellness. To learn more about the Teen Institute, please visit http://www.nhteeninstitute.org/.
To apply, students need to complete the application at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/monadnockyouth where they will answer some basic questions and submit either an essay, video, or podcast that answers the questions: "What are the strengths of your community? What is one thing you would like to change?" The Teen Institute can provide information sessions at schools for interested students. The application deadline is April 25, 2018. Monadnock Voices for Prevention, Reality Check, We've Got Your Back, and MADAC will select the students and schedule a meeting with students prior to and after attending the SYP. Scholarships will be divided equitably among the schools and will depend on response rates. Note: This is not a school district-sponsored program.

The students then worked on an activity in these groups that focused on one aspect of Literacy. Students worked on fluency, sequencing, cause and effect, and rhyming. Since this week is also Art week, Mr. Shultz used the time for students to finish their sculptures and then share and critique them within their multi-age groups.

The Grange was founded during the Civil War era and has largely persisted in supporting agricultural endeavors over the years. In fact the word “grange” is a reference to grain, a very important farm product. In more recent times, the Grange’s initiative to put dictionaries in the hands of students has encouraged and supported literacy for all. Ms Sutton’s students explored their very own dictionaries finding out that there is so much more within its covers than they might expect. Pierce School 3rd graders are both appreciative to the Grange and delighted with their dictionaries. The smiling faces tell it all.

Just as the Olympians, our students worked hard and set goals for themselves and surpassed them. Through showing the core values (Be safe, Be kind, Do the right thing, and Have courage) Pawlympic bear paws were earned for entire classes as well as individual students.

February 23, 2018 was Art Day at AES. What a special day and we greatly appreciate all of the volunteers that came to share it with us. Whether it was creating sea creatures for our Children in the Arts Day mural, making colors disappear by creating spinning tops, learning team work by building a castle, or exploring our creative side by making kaleidoscopes; AES had a fun day filled with creativity and imagination.

The blended learning assignment combined the use of pages and web posts in Blogger. The assignment consisted of several integrated parts: an artist statement, a photo share page which presents historical photographs from different eras — from Daguerreotypes to modern digital photos —, together with picture descriptions, information about the photographer, as well as brief analyses of the photos and their meaning to the students. The third component integrated student-created photos in blog posts, with reflections on the pictures by the students. The presentation of the blogs to the members of the class served as an important formative assessment at the midpoint. Students explained as well as contextualized their work and received feedback on their subject matter choices and online communication skills. Throughout the assignment, students received assistance from Technology Integration Specialist Helfried Zrzavy. He reviewed with the class some of the technical aspects that they would encounter, such as the aspect ratio and size of web-optimized images, as well as the purpose of browser cache files and cookies. Since the blogs are viewable internationally, it was important to quickly review European Union (EU) laws require that Europe-based visitors be given information about cookies that are used on the blog. Special attention was also paid to proper source citations, especially in light of the recently changed Google Image search procedure.

The ConVal choirs are currently preparing a program of choral music titled "Island Songs". Three of our school choirs are each learning traditional songs from different island nations. Throughout this process, students have engaged in learning about the geography, history and culture this music comes from. Select choir is studying three choral pieces from Indonesia, "Siksik si Batu Mannikkam" and "Soleram" which are both from the island of Sumatra, and "Nuru ai Pani" from Papua. Ade and Tommy shared about Indonesian culture and musical traditions, coached the singers on their pronunciation, shared stories of their childhood in Jakarta and brought along their Angklung for the students to play. The Angklung is a traditional Indonesian instrument made from bamboo. The students performed the melody to the piece popular song, Soleram, which they are currently learning an arrangement of. ConVal Choirs will present their annual spring on Tuesday, March 20th at 7:00 pm in the Hancock Congregational Church.

The blended learning assignment, "Connections throughout the history of psychology," asked students to research a psychological theorist of their choice. Students then used their findings to create 3-minute videos. The videos reviewed key facts about the psychologists, explained their systematic approaches to understanding human behavior, and reviewed the theorists' influences on the field of psychology. Both the Technology rubric and the Public Speaking rubric were used to assess the students' 21st-century skills that were embedded in the assignment. Using the HP Reveal app on iPads, students used pictures of the psychologists as "trigger images." The photos triggered the superimposed research videos related to the psychologists. This gave each student an opportunity to explore all the other theorists that had been studied and to determine possible connections between them. Responding to the guiding question: "How have psychologists been connected to build what we see today as the science of psychology?" students then created a mandala that illustrated the connections and influences of psychological thinkers, as well as their respective strengths. At the end of the assignment, Ms. Gagnon remarked: "I loved integrating technology and non-digital learning to meet the needs of all students. No matter where they are with both academic and technical skills, this blended learning assignment met all the students' learning expectations. And it was fun!"

Steve sang some crowd pleasers involving the students and families with sign language, instruments, and silly vocals. Marty read aloud four of his books Winter Woes, The Rules, The Cape, and Almost Everybody Farts while the audience barely contained their laughter. It was a fun night had by all. A big thank you to our Title I teachers and school PTO for bringing these two talented people to share a night of family fun at AES! And an even bigger thank you to all the families who came out on a cold night to join us.

First-graders have been working with counting in many different activities this month. We’ve been learning how to understanding teen numbers as a ten and more ones by building models with unifix cubes.
Another fun counting activity was part of learning about penguins and their adaptations to life in the cold. We looked at fact cards about several different species of penguins, and used linking cubes to make models of their heights. The math teams were very excited about this job, and kept asking for more penguins to measure! Look for a display outside our room next week, and see how you compare to the penguins.

The ceremony began with the torch being passed through the classes by the classroom teachers and carried by Mrs. Syre-Hager to the multipurpose room. Each classroom brought a colored ring to the multipurpose room to bind together to make our Pawlympic rings. Kindergarten chose yellow, first grade chose blue, second grade chose black, third grade chose red, and fourth grade chose green. Binding these rings together represents the whole school coming together to take part in this special 2 week event. Mrs. Syre-Hager lit the cauldron. We have special Pawlympic bear paws to mark this special event and a running score will be kept on Mrs. D’s bulletin board for the classes to compete in. At the kick off, kindergarten discussed what color each class would have, second grade discussed Kindness as it ties into the Olympics, and fourth grade discussed some of their favorite winter sports. We look forward to earning Pawlympic paws and going for the gold!

Our student artists have been painting and weaving! In Kindergarten we made and painted recycled weaving looms using only primary colors of red, yellow and blue! Our First Grade artists painted a color wheel creating secondary colors using the primary colors. They made orange, green and purple. They are now weaving their color wheel into a flower design! In Second Grade we painted a landscape with either warm (red, yellow and orange) or cool (blue, green or purple) colors. We added birch trees and are now weaving an owl to place in the trees. Third grade artists are creating color portrait weavings. They had the challenge to choose a color family (warm, cool, primary, secondary or complementary - opposite colors on the color wheel ) to design their weaving from head to toe! Value, tints and shades of a color, was the theme for our Fourth Grade artists. We created a few color studies in our sketch books and they had the chance to choose a final design for a canvas artwork! When you visit our school, please check out our hallway art gallery by the nurses office. They are masterpieces!

[post_content] => On Thursday evening, January 11, ConVal Regional High School students shared their excitement about learning with more than 300 members of the public.
For two hours, students gave presentations and explained classroom projects, internships, and extended learning opportunities that involved project-based learning. They demonstrated work they had completed in subjects as diverse as art, entrepreneurship, child growth and development, ceramics, engineering, English, film music scoring, graphic design, history, mathematics, physics, robotics, science and world languages.
Stations included, among many others, 3D body scanning, architecture displays, augmented reality-enhanced presentations in English, computer tablet drawing with a live model, Q&A sessions about internships with area businesses and organizations, a remote-controlled wheelchair, student-created websites, poetry recitations in German and Spanish, woodshop projects, and the performance of the Macbeth-based comedy "Danes of Our Lives."
Below is the program of the evening, followed by a series of snapshots from the event.

Some of the attendees, such as English teacher Cathy Riley, hammed it up and had a funny, extra-long gift list which elicited quite a lot of laughter from bystanders. Chemistry teacher Brock Lambert showed up to the Ugly Holiday Sweater gathering with a black Bah Humbug cap and a sweater that showed the chemical formula for μ-trioxidanediidodihydrogen (trioxidane). There was also a popular cookie swap that was organized by students.

Harris Camp in Greenfield. The staff at the Camp made it possible for students to assist in the preparation of a pizza lunch and decoration of delicious gingerbreadmen. Lunch followed the morning activities including inside games, the cooking projects, and a read aloud, The Stranger in the Woods by Carl Sams, with an art project featuring adorable pinecone and hemlock antlered deer. After lunch some of the students hiked the nature trail looking for the signs and sounds of animals living in the nearby woods, while other students built snowmen inspired by the story. Upon return to the school, the PTO served students hot cocoa to accompany the gingerbreadmen and had a gift for each child. It was wonderful day and we all thank the PTO and the staff at the Barbara C Harris Camp for making possible.

Since the puzzle came without instructions, no one knew if the final shape would be a pyramid, a square or a rectangle, or if the puzzle was solvable at all. Many unsuccessful attempts came close but did not succeed — until Coach Paul Landau strolled by on his lunch break and put the geometric shapes into a perfect rectangle.

In what has become a lighthearted ConVal holiday tradition, students, faculty, and staff will sport their ugly sweaters and pose for a joint picture in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre during TASC. So go find that "unique" sweater in the back of your closet and bring it to school. Chances are, you won’t be the only one wearing that special Rudolph sweater that someone made for you ten years ago. Don’t have an ugly sweater? Make one of your own! Bedazzle an old or thrifted sweater, add embroidered holiday motifs and some sequins, and voila, you are ready for ConVal's celebration of Ugly Holiday Sweater Day!

In addition to providing time to conduct research, do homework, and meet for group projects as well as other class assignments, students benefit from opportunities for independent reading while they wait for after-school clubs, co-curriculars, and sports activities. From time to time, students also get to enjoy doing puzzles which are provided by the librarians. Once the puzzles are completed, Ashley Jones and Rachael Bowman mount and display them as wall decorations. The latest addition was a library-themed puzzle with the title "Wish Upon a Book."

The “Breakfast of Champions: Celebrating School Business Partnership” event was sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Education, Unitil, BAE Systems, and NH Learning Initiative. It brought together businesses, educators, and legislators to discuss emerging trends in workforce development. The keynote address was given by the Honorable John Lynch, former Governor of New Hampshire. Awards were presented by Dr. Patty Lynott, President, Southern New Hampshire University, and Tom Raffio, President/CEO, Northeast Delta Dental. Awards were presented to community leaders who exemplify outstanding business education partnerships and have a decisive impact on student success. Chief Walker was recognized for his commitment to advancing partnerships dedicated to student success through his contributions to the new Fire Academy Program at ConVal, his work with the Substance Abuse Task Force, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and the Peterborough Rotary Club. Many Career and Technical Centers in New Hampshire offer Fire Sciences programs to help communities prepare young people to enter this field. In January 2016, it was announced that the Fire Science program serving students in the ConVal, Conant, Mascenic, Milford and Wilton-Lyndeborough communities would no longer be offered. When the program was defunded, the opportunity to train young men and women prior to joining departments as firefighters and emergency medical responders was lost, adding to the already critical shortage of trained firefighters and emergency medical service personnel in our area. After learning about the cancellation of the Mascenic Fire Science program, Chief Walker wasted no time in contacting ConVal regarding the possibility of Region 14 and the ConVal School District offering a new Fire Science program. Walker was instrumental in helping bring the Fire Science program to Peterborough. He reached out to the Monadnock Area Fire Chiefs’ Association to get their support, presented to the ConVal School Board, and met with the Peterborough Select Board to approve a donation of equipment to the program. Most recently, Ed worked with representatives from Mount Wachusett Community College and arranged an articulation agreement with their Fire Science Technology program. This means that Region 14 ATC Fire Science students can now earn college credit for their coursework. Chief Walker is also a member of the ConVal Substance Abuse Task Force. This group consists of key stakeholders within the school district and greater Monadnock community interested in supporting young people with good behavior choices around substance use. This group is focused on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), building awareness on the connection to substance use, the impact on parents and children in our community, and taking action to support these children as they move toward adulthood. Chief Walker is very involved with the group since he joined two years ago and provides a valuable perspective on the dangers of substance use. He has attended many community awareness programs designed to educate the community. He has also become a trainer for Mental Health First Aid and has provided many school and community members with this valuable training and tools to use with students.Walker’s commitment to students and his professionalism, organization, and follow-through have positively contributed to our school climate. It was largely his efforts that brought Project Crash to ConVal which was one of the most powerful programs we have ever hosted at the high school.
Congratulations, Chief Walker, on this prestigious award!

Students had to remember a range of preselected pieces of poetry in German Levels 1-4, from short 8-line poems for young German audiences all the way to the difficult opening soliloquy spoken by Faust in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust: Der Tragödie erster Teil. The judges included principal Gib West, several members of the English Department, and two ConVal alumns, Ian McKay (Class of 2012) who spent last year as a Fulbright scholar in Berlin, Germany, and Michelle Russell (Class of 2009) who has extensive experience in German at the college level. The Foreign Language Poetry Recitation Contest is held annually at Hanover High School in early December. The competition gathers language students in French, German, Latin, and Spanish from a wide range of high schools to recite poems in their target language before a panel of judges and an audience of peers and teachers. This year the competition will take place on Tuesday, December 12. Students will compete at different language levels throughout the morning. The event will culminate in the HHS Auditorium around 11:30 a.m. for the announcement of the winners.

As a way to combine online research skills with 21st century communication skills, students collaborated on the creation of a website devoted to the subject. In addition to print materials and links curated by Leonard in Google Classroom in advance of the assignment, students used their district-issued Chromebooks to conduct independent research, evaluate sources, synthesize information, and write text for web pages on a shared website. "It is important that we provide a venue for students to practice these essential skills in the classroom," Leonard said. "These digital research and communication skills are what students will need in their futures, whether in college, career, or military service." "All too often, computers are being viewed as sources of entertainment through gaming or video streaming," Leonard continued. "We seek to model the purposeful use of electronic devices as instruments of learning. We want to open up students to the endless opportunities to become content creators, not just content consumers." The online service that was used for the creation of the website is Google Sites, part of the Google suite for Education that includes the learning management system Google Classroom as well as the productivity components Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.

On November 30th, ConVal High School sent two teams to compete at the Boston Hip-Hop Battle against teams from all over New England. Students studied German hip hop in class and then created original raps in German on the topic of "ich" (me). Early in November, ConVal held a preliminary Hip-Hop Battle in front of peers, from which two teams were chosen to compete at the Boston Hip-Hop Battle. The two teams were "Krankenwagen" (Rachel Cass, Anna Gombas, Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, Daisy Young, and Finn Wegmueller) and "Kussecht" (Grace Christensen, Alexis Cleary, and Margot Kratzenberg). The teams spent the day in workshops with hip-hop artists from Berlin. In the workshops, the teams received feedback from the German rap artist Falco and upped their dance game in sessions with different hip-hop dancers from Berlin. The Berlin hip-hop artists and representatives from Goethe Institute Boston served as the judges for the final Hip-Hop Battle competition. Students were judged on the quality of lyrics, pronunciation, originality, performance, enthusiasm, and cooperation in the workshops. In the end, Kussecht was victorious, earning first place. As the winners, Kussecht has won a professional recording of their rap and will be visiting the recording studio in a few weeks.

After completing a 2 1/2 hr online portion on their own, the members of the certification cohort met with ConVal High School nurses Judi Bernardi and Gretchen Shippee for additional, in-person learning and demonstration of skills. The staff members learned about techniques for CPR, AED, and First Aid and how to properly address conditions such as bleeding, choking, allergic reactions, asthma, and stroke. They also learned protocols for how non-health care professionals should communicate with nurses and emergency personnel while awaiting professional medical assessment. The members of the certification group were: Alisha Davis, Kat Foecking, Colleen Harding, Mary Hopgood, Jason Lambert, Kevin Morneault, Moira Milne, Krystal Morin, and Nate Townsend. These staff members are now certified for the next two years in adult and child CPR, AED, and First Aid. According to Gretchen Shippee, additional certification opportunities will be offered on a monthly basis in the future.

Research indicates that the development of flexible learning environments, designed to provide interactive and collaborative opportunities and experiences, is essential to address the contemporary needs of school communities. This was the focus of a pre-conference workshop at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference (CMTC) in Manchester on November 27. Well-known Learning Commons expert Dr. David Loertscher addressed the critical elements of the transition from library to learning commons. He was joined by participants from several NH schools, including librarians and technology integration specialists from the ConVal School District, who have already begun to incorporate learning common concepts and best practices. Included as part of the workshop was a guided tour of the Shapiro Library/Wolak Library Learning Commons at Southern New Hampshire University SNHU.

John Steven Gurney, illustrator and author and a presenter for the Children's' Literacy Foundation (CLiF) visited the students at Peterborough Elementary School. The children learned about the importance of persistence. He talked about when he was a young boy and how a teacher had a positive impact on his interest in illustrating. John shared his books and illustrations from when he was a boy and how it developed to the present day. He shared with us that sometimes he needed to redo, edit his pictures many, many times to get them just right so they would be published. He has persisted. He didn't give up and we were inspired and thankful that he didn't.

Students were grouped into cooperative teams of 3 to 4 each and then competed against each other and against the clock to solve questions involving research, organization, and collaboration. Each successful solution to a puzzle unlocked tasks of higher levels of difficulty until the entire sequence was solved. Student engagement was high and all teams solved the challenges successfully.

Last spring with the generous help of Jeremy and Amy DeLisle along with the Antrim 4H Club and the AES fourth graders, our garden was weeded and pruned - a gift that the fourth graders gave back to the school before moving on to GBS. There is still more work to do to revive our special garden into the place it was designed to be by AES educators. Micky Johnson, Sharon Otterson and Kathy Stacy, former educators at AES, had a vision for this outdoor space in the center of our school. They co-wrote a three year grant that included a quilting artist, a painted mural and a garden project. The stunning artworks are still on display in the entrance where AES and the Antrim Recreation Department share a space. With the dedication of the AES staff as well as many community members and businesses they created a lovely secret garden filled with flowers, trees, benches, artwork, painted rocks and a walking bridge. This has been a place for the school community to gather for lunch, drawing activities, science exploring, snack breaks, building fairy houses collaborative learning and enjoying a peaceful view from the classroom windows that face the garden. It has needed some TLC and with continued support from our wonderful PTO we are giving our garden what it needs to thrive. In addition to painting more colorful rocks in our Eagle Groups last year, and planting some new bulbs, local artists, Lisa Hennessy and Arlene Soule, have been collaborating with me, Carole Storro, Muzart Educator at AES, to create a work of art to hang in our garden to give the garden color year round. Last week we began teaching all of the students at AES how to make a mosaic work of art with glass tiles. The image will be of an eagle in flight and will consist of three panels. The students were so excited to work with the materials! After a demonstration by Lisa, they each set to work to carefully select colors and shapes to add to the work of art. Now that each student knows how to use the materials, they will have an opportunity to teach their families at our Literacy Night on December 6th. The eagle mosaic will be one of the many stations for families to visit and participate in along with an annual book fair to raise money for special projects and trips throughout the school year to extend our teaching & learning. Other events that the mosaic will be available to work on as a community will be Winterfest in February 2018 and our AES Annual Spring Festival in May 2018. We hope to have these panels completed to present to the school in June of 2018 as a way to give back to the school and teach the students about the impact of gifting a legacy to the place where they spend so many of their days as children. They will be able to come back as young adults and older to visit and see their collaborative work of art on exhibit for years to come.

The team as a whole played their best defensive game of the year, shutting out a very physical Blue Hawks Unified Soccer team. Every player contributed to the final victory. ConVal finished the season with a record of 9-0. They upset in the finals an Exeter team that had not lost a game in 3 years and were coming off back-to-back State Championships.

Pierce School celebrated Halloween on Tuesday, October 31st! Students, staff, and Bennington
community members joined for an annual parade through town. Scarecrows and carved pumpkins made by Pierce School students were displayed outside the school for all to enjoy.
Students proudly displayed their costumes with big waves and many smiles. There were so many
creative costumes this year: from a jellyfish, to a box of donuts, and even a toy crane! It was exciting to see students share their uniqueness with friends and family. Happy Halloween from the Bennington Black Bears!

If you walked into Pierce school on Friday October 27, 2017, you would have noticed the smell of pumpkin soup cooking, heard the crinkle of leaves being stuffed into scarecrows and seen pumpkins being
transformed into jack-o-lanterns representing Pierce School spirit. These were just some of the
activities students participated in recently to celebrate Fall, build school community and integrate
art and literacy. Students worked in multi-age groups all day on Friday. They rotated to five
different activities that used picture books to introduce Fall themed activities that they then
worked on collaboratively with students from all grade levels. Activities included listening to the
story Pumpkin Soup and working as a group to then make soup and cooking applesauce.
Students also read The Lonely Scarecrow and worked cooperatively to make scarecrows to be
displayed at the school, and carved the words Black Bears into pumpkins generously donated by
Tenney Farm. To integrate the school’s core values the children created a kindness tree. Each leaf
demonstrates an example of kindness the student has shown or has experienced. Look for the
kindness tree displayed in the school for all to see.
This was just the first opportunity students had this year to work in our multi-age groups, called
Black Bear groups. Throughout the school year, students will work in these groups on different
projects, the goal of which is to allow students to make connections with children and teachers in
different classes, work collaboratively, give older students the opportunity to mentor younger
students, and to continue to build a strong school community. Our next opportunity to work in
these groups will occur when we visit the Barbara C. Harris Center in December. Students will
have the chance to make pizza, decorate cookies and explore the natural world through a winter
scavenger hunt and hike. We thank all of the volunteers, community members, and our PTO for
their help and support with our Black Bear groups! - by Jen Sutton

Students learn how to successfully disassemble and reassemble personal computers while identifying the function and operation of individual components such as disk drives, video controllers, power supplies, and motherboards. Identifying exactly which hardware component is failing is the first step towards successful problem-solving. This initial decision determines which repair strategy is most appropriate. In this case, it appears that the laptop's hard drive has malfunctioned. What is yet undetermined is whether this happened on account of a physical issue, such as overheating, power surge, or mechanical failure, or if the malfunction is due to a really bad virus that rendered the hard disk unusable. Diagnosis: More testing needs to be done before a repair can be effected.

Sponsored by the Mary Varnum Platts-Peterborough Chapter NSDAR, Putnam was one of fifty-one awards given nationally to classroom teachers for a proposed classroom project. Putnam’s project is for advanced ceramics students to work with a large wood burning kiln at the New Hampshire Institute of Art at the Sharon Arts Center. “To have wood kilns available for general public participation is rare. I only know of two in New England,” said Putnam. “For high school students to have the opportunity to fire a wood kiln is very rare, and I don’t know of a more innovative way to teach about the interconnectedness of ceramic geology, chemistry, physics, history and art. This is a real-world application opportunity to develop students' capacity to work collaboratively in the making of work, loading and firing of a very special kiln. These lessons cannot be taught in this particular way outside of this unique opportunity.” Jones presented Putnam with a certificate and a check for $500 to be used toward the project. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution founded in 1890, is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children. The National Junior Membership committee was created in 1937 with the purpose to train younger DAR members and help them to gain leadership experience to carry out the work of the National Society. The Helen Pouch Memorial Fund was created in 1938 with the primary goal to support education. Since its inception, the fund has awarded annual scholarships and supported educational projects at the DAR schools. In an effort to expand the impact of the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund, the committee has established the classroom grant project with the goal of awarding a $500 classroom grant to one classroom in each state, totaling $25,000 in grant awards each year. Applicants for the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund Classroom Grants must be classroom teachers for grades kindergarten through 12th grade and sponsored by a local DAR chapter.

Hassan and Rosenworcel were interested in how technology and Internet connectivity made a difference in the instructional and learning practices at the high school level. Superintendent Kimberly Saunders and Principal Gib West guided the classroom tour. The group first visited Greg Leonard's Social Studies classroom where they interacted with students working in teams, researching non-profit philanthropic organizations. This research is being conducted in collaboration with the YES program on social issues at the Mariposa Museum of World Cultures in Peterborough. Next on the tour was Krystal Morin's Music Lab where students are currently working with film clips from existing movies, both animated films and regular movies, to compose and rescore soundtracks. The student-created compositions are added back to the films and further augmented with sound effects. The final products show how the mood and overall impact of a film can change just with the manipulation of its acoustic ambiance. In Mr. Wickham's room, the string ensemble demonstrated the many ways in which technology has changed music instruction. Students can access music scores online, rescore existing arrangements on their Chromebooks to fit their instrument, use the tablets to read the music while playing without having to flip paper copies, and practice playing music by ear with online video resources in preparation for a live performance. Students demonstrated both self-scored music and traditional fiddle playing for the visitors. The tour concluded in the ConVal Library Learning Commons where Senator Hassan and Commissioner Rosenworcel interacted with students who were engaged in taking Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) classes online. These classes provide important opportunities for students who cannot fit certain classes into their existing schedules or seek to extend their learning with self-paced courses, in addition to their other classes. Since the newly deployed Chromebooks allow students to participate in VLACS courses at school and at home, they are an example of anytime, anywhere learning in the blended learning environment that Conval Regional High School provides for its students. The tour concluded with Senator Hassan and Commissioner Rosenworcel receiving some ConVal High School windbreakers and knit caps.

In Mr. Wickham's String Ensemble class, for example, the Chromebooks are used by students to arrange their own music for violin, viola, bass, and guitar. They take shared thematic material, pick a leitmotif, melody, or orchestral portion, and adapt it so they that the resulting score can be played on their instrument of choice. "The Chromebooks have already made a big difference in my classroom," said Mr. Wickham. "The on-demand access to technology allows students to switch from their instrument to their computers and back again, which makes the students' compositional feedback cycle instantaneous. Students can try out new musical ideas and prototype musical drafts — with actual playtime built in — before progressing to the next section of the assignment." "The other advantage is that students can take their work home and don't have to wait to come back to a lab the next day. The learning resources are always with them." Anywhere, anytime learning, where students remain actively engaged with their assignments, is one of the long-term goals of the blended learning environment at ConVal High School.

Seymour, who had taught at ConVal from 2013 to 2017, was killed in a car accident on Wednesday. "Nick Seymour’s passing is a tragic loss, both for our school and our wider community," principal Gib West noted in a message to the ConVal community. "He was proud to be a graduate of ConVal who returned to give back to our community.""For those students for whom school was a challenge or an obstacle, Nick was their champion. He maintained high expectations for all students, regardless of their abilities, and celebrated their successes, both great and small," West continued. "Today, one of his former students posted on Facebook that, if it hadn't been for Mr. Seymour, she never would have had the courage or the ability to attend college. Nick Seymour was a kind and caring person who was as passionate about his students as he was about history."
The communities at South Meadow School, where Seymour had taught before teaching at ConVal, ConVal High School, and Merrimack High School, where Seymour had just started to teach this fall, are united in their grief. "We ask that our community continue to care for one another, not only in this time of loss but always," West concluded. "Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all strive to come to terms with the loss of a cherished colleague, friend, and mentor."

As parents, we ask that you encourage your students to contribute non-perishable food items or donate a few dollars to this very important effort. As faculty and staff, we will support this effort by pledging to match the total weight of all the food that is brought in as well as the total of monetary donations raised. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of families throughout our region. Thank you for your support! For more details on the New Hampshire Tackles Hunger campaign, please see the poster below and this letter from WMUR, the New Hampshire Food Bank, and the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association.

Cornucopia teachers Kathleen Bigford, Lauren Judd, and Cathy Joly were excited to see the students again, and to see how the garden has grown since the spring. The students explored the garden searching for evidence of whether the garden was cared for over the summer. By far the largest, healthiest plants were two huge sunflowers that must have been well-watered; the students also discovered that the sunflower leaves felt like sandpaper! There were lots of other healthy plants (including some large, healthy weeds!), and we found a few bugs, but overall the garden was in good shape. Everyone enjoyed sampling the plentiful mint, as well as the lemon cucumbers, green peppers, purple beans and sorrel. It’s fun to eat so many different colors, and we are all looking forward to what we can snack on next week!

The photo on the poster was taken by a ConVal grad, of a ConVal grad.” The photo, entitled “Caught in the Moment,” had been taken in north Peterborough and introduced the senior section of the 2016 ConVal yearbook. “Hannah Henderson, a career and technical education (CTE) program completer, photographed Brad Carter, another CTE program completer, and now that photo is hanging in hallways in every state in the USA. Thousands of high school students are seeing this!” Bastoni noted excitedly. “What an absolute honor for ConVal Regional High School to have Jostens choose one of their photos out of the thousands of entries it receives each year for our photo competition, the largest yearbook photography competition in the World,” said Corey LaRoche, a representative for Jostens Printing and Publishing. “And, then to have it be featured in our national marketing campaign that is sent to our customers throughout the entire United States is truly outstanding.” Congratulations to all involved for demonstrating the excellence of ConVal’s photography program to a national audience!

Freshmen, transfer students, and international exchange students had the opportunity to get oriented to the school, meet with their counselors, get to know their TASC groupings, review and follow a mini schedule of their classes, have lunch in the cafeteria, and participate in a scavenger hunt.
A special bus schedule was in effect for New Student Day so that students and parents could experience their bus routes for the first time.

The picture shows Mrs. Grossi with Daniel Willingham, author of When Can You Trust the Experts?: How to Tell Good Science from Bad in Education, a common sense guide for parents, teachers, administrators, and policymakers which offers them the tools they need to ask tougher questions, think more logically about why an intervention program might or might not work, and ultimately make more informed decisions. The New Hampshire Educators’ Summer Summit is an annual event where school teams convene for three days to engage in professional development with national and local experts. Now in its sixth year, the NH Statewide Summer Summit seeks to transform education through community involvement and evidence-based reform practices. Through scholarship and mentorship in effective skills, strategies, and practices to implement with students, the Summit gives local practitioners power to transform education and provides technical assistance for sustainability. School-based teams develop and submit an innovation plan, based on gaps in performance data, as a prerequisite to attendance. Throughout the year, on-site facilitation, tri-annual reviews, and quarterly meetings to build capacity for change support implementation of activities to achieve identified outcomes.

Bowman, who was selected by the graduating students to be their faculty speaker, encouraged students to do away with cynicism and detachment in interpersonal relations and to rediscover their potential for caring: "I think we have learned how not to care, how not to commit, how to say things don’t really matter. Our words and conventions often have no meaning. It’s easy to be insincere. It’s the ultimate cop out—avoid pain and emotion by simply not caring about anything." "Since the 1990s (the decade in which you were born)," Bowman continued, "we have done a good job of teaching you to challenge tradition, to not give too much blind allegiance to what doesn’t matter—and I am all in favor of that. I celebrate critical thinking. But we haven’t done a great job of helping you to fill in what DOES matter. And thus, irony and insincerity rule the day." Bowman argued that it is important to make the change now, on a momentous occasion such as graduation, and he wanted students to start engaging with one another on this very last day they shared at ConVal High School. "So let’s practice by looking at today for just how special it is. Don’t be sarcastic about it. Don’t downplay it. Don’t say things you don’t mean and then hide behind the fact that you were just kidding." "Look someone in the eye, feel that awkwardness until it melts away and you feel the warmth, and you see deep into someone else’s soul, for a change. When we do this, we will feel sad for all that we’re leaving behind, but we’ll also feel full joy for having experienced it at all." "And if we start today, maybe we can all be part of a movement that lives life more deeply, more meaningfully. We can create a world where your word means something."

The finished mugs were sold with coffee or tea at this year's Broke Art Show during the 10th Thing in the Spring event. Over $500 was raised during this event and donated to the Fill the Void project.

As this was their first attempt to communicate with native speakers in a foreign language, there was a good deal of initial confusion and laughter. But the overall experience of this initial exchange was very positive and the students can't wait to connect with their new German friends again soon!

One way to prepare for future travels abroad is to hone these skills at home, with visits to ethnic restaurants. Spanish Club and German Club organize occasional "food crawls" in Manchester to learn more about other cultures by exploring their cuisine. Conversations not only entail menu choices and dialogues around ordering, they also touch on such units as colors, numbers, temperatures, animals, body parts, descriptive words, as well as vocabulary involving positioning and spatial descriptors (e.g. near the door, next to the table, etc.). But most importantly, trying out your newly acquired language skills is fun — and these students truly enjoyed their experiences!

It is a docudrama that has been in production for four months. The film will be used in the fall to educate the student body about the relationship between childhood adversity and substance abuse and addiction. The ACES Project was based on research originally conducted by the Kaiser Permanente health care company and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study found that childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on future violence victimization and perpetration, and lifelong health and opportunity. As such, early experiences are an important public health issue. Much of the foundational research in this area has been referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

For more than two hours, students gave presentations and explained classroom projects, internships, and extended learning opportunities that involved project-based learning. They demonstrated excellence in subjects as diverse as art, entrepreneurship, CAD engineering, child growth and development, ceramics, film music scoring, and Physics & Calculus. Students curated content on distinct periods in American history and on the era of European exploration. They demonstrated a home-made Tesla coil and a robot designed to clean up nuclear waste. There was an exhibit on sauerkraut production and pickling techniques, complete with taste test samples, and a plant sale organized by students enrolled in the sustainable agriculture program. Several students gave multiple presentations during the evening and a group of them, who had taken a 5th block class in Women's Studies, conducted a panel discussion in the library on the question: "What is society's view of the ideal woman?" Below is the program of the evening, followed by a series of snapshots from the event.

Interim principal Gib West addressed the audience and stressed the importance of getting involved in the many activities that the high school offers to its students. "Get involved and explore the opportunities before you," Mr. West said. "High school is all about finding out what you're good at and what you want to pursue further. Find your passion, and if we don't have something yet that fits your specific interest, we can make that happen for you."
Student speaker Michael Zrzavy referenced the importance of using this evening to make first contact with school counselors and the school nurses to make the transition from middle school as smooth as possible.
Zrzavy also briefly reviewed the rich athletic program at ConVal and the athletic teams that permit three-season participation with fall, winter, and spring sports.
He also noted the many co-curricular offerings that ConVal has in store for students.
The orientation ended around 8:00.
Thank you for coming, everyone, and we look forward to seeing you in August!

The play’s success depends on her ability to step completely and realistically into her role. Now Shelly worries that the character is taking over her mind. She wants a night off to regain control over Amelia. However, her unsympathetic director, Alphonse Crevansky, and the ambitious supporting actress, Laura Tontelli, unite to try to convince Shelly to perform. Tom, the leading man in the play, loves Shelly though he loathes Amelia. He admonishes Shelly to quit the play altogether, creating yet another force pulling on her. The show dates are Thursday and Friday, May 18 and 19, at 7:00 pm. Admission is free but donations are welcome.ConVal Drama presents “Amelia, Once More,” directed by senior student Becket Gourlay.

Jillian has been producing origami works since the age of 5. She started with the well-known crane and quickly mastered the traditional art of paper folding, creating ornate boxes, flowers and birds. Jillian says, “Making animals out of a single flat piece of paper, creating their definitive shapes, has always been fun. I’ve also been inspired by how origami is integrated into science, from the folds of a parachute to the layering of DNA in modern medicine.” Most recently Jillian’s work has expanded to Golden Venture Folding with hundreds of papers per piece and the intricacies of Kusudama origami, the precursor of modular origami. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, May 13, from 5 – 7 pm. Light refreshments will be served. In conjunction with her show, Jillian also plans to teach a workshop at the Community Center on Saturday, May 20, from 10 - 11:30 am.

This one involves Isabel Wilder, Nate Gibbons, and Monadnock Community Hospital security officer Lou Chatel. Here is the report by officer Chatel: I was alerted to the parking lot for a suspicious young male looking through cars. Needless to say, this was very concerning to the staff that witnessed this. Having received the plate number, I got the hospital truck and located the suspect leaning against another car. I inquired who he was, why he was here, and why was he looking through the cars. He told me he is a ConVal High School Senior and was looking for his girlfriend's car because she is doing an internship in the Emergency Department. She drives a Subaru but unfortunately, so does half of Peterborough. He showed me the sign that he made to ask her to go to the prom with him and that she was late coming out. I offered to formally escort him into the building under the appearance that he was a bad guy. He got in the truck and we headed to the Emergency Department main entrance to surprise her. We saw her walking out and I stopped and asked her if she had a boyfriend because I had him in custody. She came to the truck to ID him and that's when he jumped out with the sign and asked her to the prom. She said YES. I told him if she said no I'd go with him and took the attached picture. It's nice that Monadnock Community Hospital will be part of these young adults memories. I hope this brightens your day.

Thank you to those that helped set up and clean up tonight. Thank you to those that made soup (we almost ran out...we'll need more next year)! Thank you for the bread and beverage donations too. It surely was a team effort tonight!

In preparation of the project, students had to learn about the physical geography of Germany, including major cities, rivers, forests, and mountain ranges. In groups, students recreated a map Germany using icing on a large cookie. The maps turned out to be very creative and , in some cases, quite abstract! Students then had to use their cookie to take an oral exam on the geography of Germany.

Bailey is a student of German teacher Cindi Hodgdon. Kirkpatrick was selected as a national winner after scoring in the 95th percentile on the Level 4 2017 National German Exam for High School Students sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG). Over 20,000 students participated in the program. After qualifying with a high score on the National German Exam, she submitted responses to several short essay questions in German and in English and was then interviewed by a committee comprised of high school teachers and college professors of German. Kirkparick is one of forty‐four outstanding German students selected from across the US to receive the award. The study trip includes round‐trip air transportation to Germany from New York, a homestay in a host family, and excursions to places of cultural and historical significance. The study trip, now in its 57th year, is made possible through a grant from the Federal Republic of Germany. “This year’s prize winners are some of the finest students in the US,” said Keith Cothrun, Executive Director of the AATG. “The prize is a great reward for excellence in learning German—and the best way to better get to know a fascinating language and culture through first-hand experiences living with a German family and attending school.” Founded in 1926, the AATG represents German teachers at all levels of instruction. The AATG is dedicated to the advancement and improvement of the teaching of language, literature and culture of the German‐speaking countries.

On this last school day in March, the breakfast was sponsored by the members of the Mathematics and PE/Health departments as well as the Library, Integration, and Technology Services (LITS) team. The game table was made by students in Mr. Ewing's woodshop class. It was added to the ConVal Library and Learning Commons just yesterday, and its purpose was already discovered during breakfast this morning!

The CBYX is for motivated high school students who want to experience German culture and language through a full immersion experience. As a Congress-Bundestag scholar, Ellerkamp's exchange year will include: placement with a carefully selected German host family, admission to a German high school, cultural excursions to the German Bundestag and select German cities, and meetings with government officials. Initiated in 1983, the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange was created to strengthen ties between Germany and the United States through citizen diplomacy. The program was founded in celebration of the 300th year anniversary of the first German immigration to the United States. CBYX is jointly funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag, and in the U.S. is overseen by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Over 24,000 students have prepared themselves for success in an increasingly global world by participating in the CBYX program.

Presenters included community members as well as ConVal students and teachers. The story themes ranged from the quest for a Peruvian culinary delicacy in an authentic village setting (look up "cuy" in a dictionary or online), to hair-raising experiences as camp counselors and hikers, and reflections on one's early childhood as a "cry baby." The ConVal Black Fly Story Hour is an homage to NPR's Moth Radio Hour. Emceed by Jamie Trowbridge, this popular event helps raise awareness, and much-needed funds, for the ConVal Visual and Performing Arts Center initiative.

At ConVal, Chris Ouelette developed an early interest in filmmaking. He is probably most remembered for his filming of the "Don't Stop Believin'" lip-dub video in his junior year.
After graduating from ConVal High School in 2014, Chris attended Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL. Full Sail specializes in audio and video production as well as other entertainment and media-related areas of study.
Here is Chris' reflection:
"Towards the end of my time at ConVal, I began to look back on what really stood out to me as a student. The creative freedom of photography and my curiosity for film is what drove me to apply to Full Sail University. This choice was based on their intense, accelerated bachelors degree that can be completed in two years time."
"About halfway through the program, I decided that television was the path that I wished to take and began my training as a technical director. Towards graduation, I began to look for job in my field, which is how I found a position at a news station called WTOC in Savannah, GA."
"WTOC had equipment much more advanced than that of Full Sail’s and understanding their new switcher was something I had to achieve. Within a few weeks I was able to Direct and Technical Direct, TD, my own shows and was given my own time slots to run. After spending 8 months at WTOC I began to look for jobs in a larger market."
"Some searching later, a position opened up at WHBQ in Memphis, TN for a Director / TD position. I applied, followed up, and was given an interview. This job was a fairly big deal because of the fact it is a top 50 market and, being such a young age, this puts me years beyond the competition. I was given the position and currently direct the night shows. In the future, I hope to continue moving up in markets until the opportunity to TD major sporting events."
"For anyone who has an interest in TV, I would recommend asking a local station for a tour or to sit in on one of their newscasts. Most stations will be more than willing to allow that, especially if it is for an educational purpose."
If you want to see Chris in action as a news director, get a behind-the-scenes look and watch him direct the January 11, 2017 news show on WHBQ Fox 13 in this YouTube video.

Despite a blizzard, thirteen ConVal singers were able to make it to the performance to present Carol Barnett's The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass on Sunday, February 12th.
This is the third time that the Festival Singers and the ConVal Select Choir have joined forces. The ConVal Select Choir has been preparing for this performance during weekly their rehearsals since the beginning of the school year in September.
Brilliantly executed by composer Carol Barnett and librettist Marisha Chamberlain, The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass blends the classical mass, modern choral sophistication, touching poetry and traditional bluegrass instrumentation into an exhilarating musical experience.
Composer Carol Barnet says it best, “To bring the solemnity of the classical choir-based mass together with the down-home sparkle of bluegrass—now there’s an assignment! My highest hope is that listeners coming from one tradition — classical or bluegrass —a nd perhaps dubious about the other, might discover something new and wonderful in the combination, as I have. Composing the music for The World Beloved has given me the chance to write sacred music — all too rare in a medium rife with staid and even lugubrious settings. And it’s brought me back to memories of music heard while visiting my grandparents' country music with a church flavor that told stories and came out of a scratchy old record player. Grandma would not have allowed dancing, but under the table I tapped my toes.”

After five round-robin competition matches and five additional double-elimination rounds, ConVal A met York A in the Nor'easter Bowl finals. The final matchup was a rematch of last year's final, in which the team from Maine was victorious. This year, it was ConVal's turn as Team A secured a win and so remained undefeated throughout the entire competition. ConVal Team A consisted of Michael Zrzavy (captain), Sawyer Cawthern, Marlena Sorbello, and Tim Whitaker, with Savannah Kersbergen as alternate. Players on Team B were Diego Juarez, Katorina Keenan, Edmund Pope, Woody Stockwell, and Bronwyn Tyler-Wall. "I was really impressed with our A Team's patience and focus," said Ocean Bowl coach Ken Cloutier. "The B Team gained valuable experience and they are all sophomores, so the future looks bright." The Nor'easter Bowl is a regional competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). This annual academic competition tests high school students' knowledge of marine sciences, including marine biology; chemical, physical, and biological oceanography; marine geology and geophysics; marine engineering; and marine policy. The event was sponsored by the University of New Hampshire School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering, New Hampshire Sea Grant, the UNH Cooperative Extension, UNH Marine Docents, Maine Sea Grant, The University of Maine, The University of New England, and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership.
Team A (seated): Michael Zrzavy (captain), Marlena Sorbello, Sawyer Cawthern, Tim Whitaker, and Savannah Kersbergen (alternate).
Team B (standing): Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, Katorina Keenan, Edmund Pope, Daniel Stockwell, Diego Juarez.

Based on parables from the book of Matthew in the Bible, Schwartz — also well-known for his scores for the classic Pippin and the smash hit Wicked — features a wide variety of musical styles. Combined with simple staging and a message of community, Godspell reminds us all how much one person can impact and influence another with tolerance, love, and compassion. Students are asked to sign up on the drama board for a specific audition time. Copies of four pre-selected audition selections are also provided. Please see Ms. Morin (kmorin@conval.edu) or Mrs. Halper (lmhalper@gmail.com) if you have any questions.

The lesson has two parts. First, students must research an assigned prominent psychologist, from Hippocrates to Erik H. Erikson. They then need to speed date with a partner for 60 seconds trying to communicate to the other student that this psychologist has the most influence in the field of psychology. Each student has a "date" with each psychologist. At the end of the activity, they write a short essay on whom they chose and why. This is a great introductory assignment to have students be exposed to a wide variety of psychologists in a very short period of time. This also lends itself to a formative assignment in presentation skills.

Quite the opposite, Kostecki's battery exploded and set the butcher block in his kitchen on fire. Unable to dowse the flames completely, even after using two fire extinguishers, Kostecki had to throw the laptop outside into the snow to prevent further damage to the interior of his house. Kostecki's experience with the faulty laptop battery was covered in a news segment on WMUR and serves as a warning for others to check if the battery in their laptop is part a nationwide recall by HP dating back to last year. This recall has now has been expanded to over 101,000 units. The best way to ensure your safety is to remove your laptop battery, check its model and serial number, and contact HP for a replacement if indicated. In the meantime, run your laptop off AC power with the battery removed.

The program featured choral pieces by Vivaldi, Lotti, Rachmaninoff, and Clausen. Of particular note were the choirs' renditions of "Betelehemu," a Nigerian carol, and the Swedish carol "Jul, Jul" which the choir performed in honor of ConVal's Swedish exchange student Benjamin Lars Agnarsson. Truly outstanding was the performance of freshman Grace Christensen as the soloist in "City Called Heaven." The Clef Hangers, the school female a cappella group, and the Morin Tunes, ConVal's male a cappella ensemble, performed separately "How Will I Now?," "Valerie," "Oasis," and "Somebody I Used To Know," and then combined for an a cappella rendition of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." The ConVal String ensemble performed the "Dance of the Tumblers" by Rimsky-Korskoff. The Contemporary String Ensemble gave a rousing rendition of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Faith Noel," arranged by senior Colin Brinkley. The various band ensembles entertained the audience with "Coastal Overture," "String of Pearls," "Winter Wonderland," "Chameleon," "Oracle," "Amazing Grace," and "Winterfest." The combined band and choir ensembles ended the concert with an exhilarating rendition of Leroy Anderson's "A Christmas Festiva" as their sendoff number. Congratulations all on a truly memorable concert!

The assignment was open to individual student interpretations. The final products ranged from a kalimba made from paper plates and hair pins to xylophones made from woodblocks and wrenches, from drums made of cans and plastic balloons to glasses and cans whose pitch was controlled with differing amounts of water. The students presented their instruments in the ConVal cafeteria to visitors.

Every student from ConVal Regional High School's Photography and Video Arts courses submitted photos for the exhibit. The assignment was to "photograph the architecture of Peterborough." Students were left to interpret this in any way they saw fit. Some photographed the school itself, others took images of well-known Peterborough buildings, and some chose to photograph at night. The 20 photos which comprise the exhibit were selected by Photo/Video Arts Teacher Amanda Bastoni for their creativity, visual appeal, and adherence to the goal of the assignment. After completing the assignment students critiqued one another's work and discussed which images they felt best exemplified the architecture of Peterborough. "I am so proud of the work they did," said Bastoni, "We are grateful to the town of Peterborough and the Heritage Commission for creating this opportunity, which gave the students a chance to practice submitting work, meeting a deadline, and seeing their images publicly displayed."On Sunday, December 18, 2016 a reception will be held from 2:00 — 4:00pm at the Peterborough Townhouse for the Heritage Commission’s new photography exhibit “Our Town through Our Eyes: Photographs by Students of Conval High School.”

That is the philosophy behind a new assessment and improvement plan being implemented at the Contoocook Valley Regional School District. The Superintendent’s office recently applied to a national technical assistance program called SWIFT. Program leaders recently contacted SAU #1 that SWIFT has agreed to work with the district on ways to improve all aspects of its public education programs without any cost to taxpayers. Over the next several months, SWIFT will assess every component of the educational programs at ConVal Schools: administration and leadership, educational supports for teachers, family and community engagement, school culture, curriculum and extra-curricular activities. From there, SWIFT will work with administrators to find ways to use existing resources to improve schools. “We are confident we have all of the pieces of the puzzle to ensuring that our school district can provide quality support to all students, but the SWIFT framework guidance will show us how to fit those pieces together in a better way to improve our service to students and their families,” says Superintendent Kimberly Saunders. “This is a multi-year effort that has shown incredible results in schools around the nation. We are honored to be the first school district in the country to apply this approach to boosting quality.” The district wide assessment will provide SAU leaders with the tools to evaluate district activities and programs and chart a course for how to build on what the district is doing well, and improve in areas that are underperforming. SWIFT programs have been applied to schools all around the country, but this is the first time it will be applied to assess and improve the framework and operations of an entire school district. SWIFT is a national K-8 technical assistance center based at the University of Kansas that helps schools better provide academic and behavioral instruction and support for all students, including students with disabilities and those with the most extensive needs. SWIFT has been working with schools around the country for over a decade. “Our goal is to create a district-wide culture where all community members value what happens in schools and participate in decision making,” explains Cari Christian-Coates, Assistant Director of Student Services for SAU #1. “We want parents and community partners from all nine towns in our district to join us in this district-wide planning process because they are important stakeholders in public schools and we would value input from the community.” Coates invites any member of the community interested in participating in the SWIFT process to email her directly at ccoates@conval.edu. The Contoocook Valley Regional School District is made up of 11 schools representing 2,179 students in 9 towns: Antrim, Bennington, Dublin, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Peterborough, Sharon, and Temple. “This framework review will help us see what we do really well from the classroom all the way up to the administrative offices, and SWIFT advisors can show us how to better leverage those strengths to meet the changing needs of children and families,” says Dr. Ann Forrest, Assistant Superintendent of ConVal Regional School District. “We are most excited to identify where and how we can improve different areas in the district.” “This is like getting a complete check-up for no charge with specific guidance on how we can improve everything we do at ConVal,” says Superintendent Saunders. The review process and adjustments to the district’s framework plan will take time and the SWIFT assessment could take between two and five years. “This is not about making lots of changes all at once. This is about working with everyone in the district and brainstorming ways to boost quality of education for every child at every school for long term growth and success. This is very exciting and we are thrilled to see what improvements are in store.” SAU1 Swift Press Release CONTACT: Kimberly Saunders ksaunders@conval.edu 603-924-3336 [post_title] => CONVAL REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVED FOR “FIRST IN THE NATION”ASSESSMENT AND FRAMEWORK IMPROVEMENT PLAN [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => open [post_password] => [post_name] => conval-regional-school-district-approved-for-first-in-the-nationassessment-and-framework-improvement-plan [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2016-12-22 08:13:43 [post_modified_gmt] => 2016-12-22 13:13:43 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://convalsd.net/?p=1459 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw [qms_post_link] => https://convalsd.net/conval-regional-school-district-approved-for-first-in-the-nationassessment-and-framework-improvement-plan/ [qms_post_featured_image] => 0 [qms_post_content_image] => 0 [qms_post_excerpt] =>SAU #1 is First School District in US to Use Schoolwide Integrated Framework for Transformation (SWIFT) Technical Support to Improve School Services and Educational Quality for All Students

Following the screening, the public will be invited to a 30-minute follow up discussion of the episode with students from the ConVal arts programs and invited community artists. This is a free event but donations to "Fill the Void" are encouraged. The "Fill The Void" campaign supports the design and construction of the Contoocook Valley Visual and Performing Arts Center, a planned multi-purpose arts facility on the grounds of ConVal High School that will serve as a performing arts center, instructional space, and regional venue for arts events and exhibitions. ART21 is a celebrated global leader in presenting thought-provoking and sophisticated content about contemporary art, and the go-to place to learn first-hand from the artists of our time. A nonprofit organization, ART21’s mission is to inspire a more creative world through the works and words of contemporary artists. In this episode, artists reveal the ways in which their communities ignite ideas for photographs, sculptures, and drawings, and how those communities are invited by the artists to become part of the artworks themselves. The featured artists are Nick Cave, Theaster Gates, Barbara Kasten, and Chris Ware.

Following the keynote address, panelists from a wide variety of science, technology, engineering and math fields gave presentations and reflected on their education, careers, field choices, and work history. Speakers emphasized what high school students need to know for a rewarding future career in science and technology. The WIST Forum, offered since 2000 to more than 400 attendees every other year, has proven to be a very effective day and networking opportunity for high school students. The event is geared towards girls, but is also relevant to boys. It allows students to learn more about careers in science and technology directly from successful women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

The staff member received the threat before arriving at school. Law enforcement was notified and responded immediately. After consulting with law enforcement, we took the precaution of dismissing students for the day to ensure their safety and the safety of staff. During the morning bus commute, as a precaution school busses were directed to Oak Park for student dismissal. Parents received a School Messenger alert informing them of the situation and how to reunite with their children. Staff worked together to assure that students were happy during their time in the park. I want to thank parents and the staff for helping to make this unexpected dismissal a very smooth and calm process. We are working closely with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. Since this is an active investigation, there is limited information we are able to share at this time. I can appreciate your desire for more information, and there will be a meeting for Greenfield Elementary School parents on November 21 st beginning at 6:30pm at Greenfield Elementary School. As always, the safety of staff and students is our paramount responsibility. If you have questions, please contact me at the SAU office.

Once the students are satisfied with their set-up, they pull the plugs from the bottom of the water filled cans and use the TI-nspires and connected sonar distance sensors to collect data in real time. After they have collected the raw data points, they use the data to construct linear models, using the mathematical skills they have been learning in class, to describe the change in height of the water over time. These measurements can then be used to apply to real life scenarios, such as leaking oil tankers, leaking life boats, or dribbling water fountains. Students are asked both conceptual and hypothetical questions about their data, that are then connected to the mathematics being taught, in order to help solidify both the abstract and realistic elements of algebra.

And he wants to make sure that his students understand that while politics is seldom pleasant, "this year it seems like it’s at a different level and a different pitch." On the Republican side, there was an exceptionally grueling primary campaign which saw 16 presidential hopefuls, the largest-ever field of candidates, lose to the eventual nominee, a Washington outsider. The Democratic side, too, experienced a very close primary race down to the Convention finish, a contest which raised questions about the role of party superdelegates in determining the outcome. The actual presidential campaign that followed the primaries was marked by an exceptionally harsh tone, with unprecedented accusations and counter-accusations on both sides, high unfavorable ratings for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and the unparalleled rise of social media use in presidential elections, especially Twitter. On Friday, Rick Ganley and Michael Brindley of New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) explored the question "How NH Civics Teachers Handled A Presidential Campaign Unlike Any Other" on Morning Edition. ConVal's Greg Leonard was one of three social studies teachers interviewed for the story. To learn more about how Leonard approached the topic in the classroom, you can read the post on the NHPR website or listen to the broadcast online.

During this time, the two high schools have grown closer. All involved refer to the exchange as their "family away from home." For the past two weeks, 21 ConVal students were involved in hosting 16 Austrian students and their two teacher chaperones. Students not only provided a home and meals, but also helped immerse the exchange students in American culture. Popular excursions included trips to Portsmouth, the beach, and an ocean boat ride, a visit to Keene State College, a trip to the State House and planetarium, as well as many trips organized by parents, including paintball, a Revolution soccer game, bowling, town tours, shopping, hikes, a sheep and dog show, a baking day, a taco night, a Halloween Fright night and a giant farewell party, among many others. ConVal students will have the chance to see what it is like to be abroad when they travel to Austria in April of 2017. One of the most important parts of the exchange is being able to use German outside of the classroom. As German teacher Cindi Hodgdon said, "We are looking forward to many more great years and partnerships with Salzburg because we know the relationships last beyond well beyond the two weeks."

The first class gave an account on how in 19th-century Germany, the Brothers Grimm — who were recognized as serious academics, philologists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors — came to collect folktales that had overt moral endings to them. The stories were originally intended for adult audiences and only later developed into fairy tales for children. Presenters focused on common plot elements in these folktales, archetypical figures like the evil stepmother and the fairy godmother, narrative devices as well as recurring themes, such as talking animals and powerful magic. Two students explored how the original stories were too gruesome to be acceptable to the American cultural context and were adapted and toned down, first by early publishers and later by the Walt Disney Company which specialized in bringing European fairy tales to American moviegoers. After the literary analysis came the presentation of "Schneewitchen und die sieben Zwerge" ("Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"), presented entirely in German, with a narrator and dramatized by the members of the 3rd block German class. At the end of the evening, Frau Hodgdon had reason to be proud — the presentations were validated by the applause of the audience.

The librarians encouraged students to use Learning Express, an online database with SAT practice tests, math skills improvement, college preparation, and other services that the town library offers. The Peterborough Town Library also provides a foreign language learning App, streaming films, and online magazines. The Library Board of Trustees voted to extend privileges at their August meeting. “Our goal is to provide open and convenient access for high school students –and to promote usage at all public libraries—as well as support the school,” said Library Director Corinne Chronopoulos. For more information about the library privileges extended to ConVal students, please contact the Peterborough Town Library (603) 924-8040 or visit PeterboroughTownLibrary.org.

In the end, the ConVal Field Hockey Team had the most successful skit which centered around the theme: "What we imagine our teachers and administrators were like when they were in high school." The trio of judges — Carol Young, Eric Saucier, and Courtney McKay — announced the final points tally before Mr. Pickering sent students off to a successful homecoming weekend.

This is the fifth year that the identification of invasive plant species has been part of the biology program, but only the second in which students have actively worked, after developing campus management plans with the district groundskeeping staff, to remove the invasives from the deciduous and coniferous forest areas that surround ConVal. The development of the management plans offered students the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in the areas of problem-solving and collaboration, as well as increase their awareness and applied knowledge of the local flora.

This two-day event brought together high school students and representatives of the construction and transportation industries to explore career options through hands-on activities at the Hillsborough County Youth Foundation Center in New Boston. Nearly 70 exhibitors were at hand to share their experiences in construction and transportation-related fields. The event focused on increasing awareness of careers in heavy equipment operation, welding, plumbing, carpentry, electrical wiring, surveying and engineering, land clearing, underground utilities, and other construction-related jobs.

The Cornucopia ‘Farm to Fork Fellowship’ is a new high school program to train farmers and gardeners to view themselves as entrepreneurs. In June 2016, Cornucopia and Farmer John’s Plot, a non-profit farm in Dublin partnered to install a 30 x 96 foot hoop house on a 2.5 acre plot of land across from ConVal High School. This hoop house has become a laboratory for Cornucopia’s new farm entrepreneurship program that is offered in conjunction with Ms. Wood's Sustainable Agriculture course, which is a new science class this year. The combination of classroom learning and the practical experience offered by the collaboration has become a focus point where student participants learn how to grow seasonal foods and how to turn those seasonal foods into value-added products.

The students and teachers performed several traditional songs, such as "Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken," "Heut kommt der Hans zu mir," and "Edelweiss" from the hit musical The Sound of Music.

Rather than serving just one state, the Big E serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Friday was "New Hampshire Day" at the Eastern States Exposition, and the ConVal High School Marching Band helped celebrate the Big E's 100th birthday by leading the parade. Under the direction of Jim Wickham, the Band performed "Vehicle" by The Ides of March and "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy along the one-mile parade route. After the parade, students got to visit the Avenue of States which features replicas of the original state houses of the six states involved in the fair. Exhibits and vendors within each house represent their own state cultures and traditions. Students were also free to explore the Midway and fairgrounds before returning to the charter buses by 9:00pm.

Ben Putnam delivered the formal introductions but Ms. León soon established a personal relationship with the student audience by sharing her life story, her inspiration to pursue her creative spark, and her belief in the power of artistic collaboration. Born in Cuba, León is a vital personality on today's music scene. She is highly regarded as a composer and conductor and equally recognized for her accomplishments as an educator and as an advisor to arts organizations. León has been the subject of profiles on ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS, Univision — including their noted series "Orgullo Hispano," which celebrates living American Latinos who have made invaluable contributions to society —, Telemundo and independent films. Awards for her compositions include the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, NYSCA, the Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest Fund, ASCAP and Meet the Composer, among others. She has also received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for Ácana, a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as Fromm Music Foundation and Koussevitsky Foundation commissions. Recent premieres include Ethos, for piano and string quartet, written for Ursula Oppens and the Cassatt Quartet, commissioned by the New York State Council of the Arts for Symphony Space; del Caribe, soy!, commissioned by Saint Martha Concerts and premiered by Nestor Torres and Tania León; Inura, for voices, string and percussion, choreographed by Carlos dos Santos, commissioned and premiered by Dance Brazil; going...gone, commissioned by Liaisons: Re-Imagining Sondheim from the Piano; Esencia para Cuarteto de Cuerdas, commissioned by the Fromm Foundation; Ácana, for orchestra, a joint commission by Orpheus and the Purchase College Orchestra; Alma, for flute and piano, commissioned by Marya Martin; and Atwood Songs, for soprano and piano with text by Margaret Atwood, commissioned by the Eastman School of Music and Syracuse University. León's presentation which reviewed some of her work on the piano and via YouTube videos was, without doubt, one of the most inspiring TASC Talks for ConVal music and art students.

The hope is to continue to save taxpayer funds by lowering costs of both care and coverage. “Working with the school board and with our teachers, we are actively seeking ways to save money without reducing access to quality benefits for health insurance and services to our staff,” explains Superintendent Saunders. “The trend in health care is for costs to go up, and we are doing everything in our power to reverse that trend in our district.” The Contoocook Valley Regional School District is made up of 11 schools representing 2,179 students in 9 towns: Antrim, Bennington, Dublin, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Peterborough, Sharon, and Temple.

This year's two-day event was marked by an attendance record. More than 1600 students from over 50 schools came to the event which was held at the Hillsborough County Youth Foundation Center in New Boston. 70 exhibitors were on deck to share their experiences in construction and transportation-related fields. The event focused on increasing awareness of careers in heavy equipment operation, welding, plumbing, carpentry, electrical wiring, surveying and engineering, land clearing, underground utilities, and other construction-related jobs. Among the attendees were over 30 students from ConVal High School, including Dan Curran, Seth Richardson, Liam Costello, and Palmer Timmons who are shown in the photographs. The students enjoyed working with the equipment and learning about the career training pathways that are open to them after high school. Some attendees, like ATC teacher Karen Fabianski, even found time for a selfie with WMUR's Erin Fehlau. An upcoming episode of WMUR's Chronicle will be devoted to the 2016 New Hampshire Construction Career Days.

TASC is the flexible time block which allows students to schedule academic interventions, engage in enrichments and extensions of their learning, or receive social and emotional supports, all during the regular school day. Since its inception in 2011, TASC at ConVal has met with very high satisfaction by students, parents, and faculty. Students appreciate TASC as a time to get timely help with questions they may have about course materials. Parents appreciate the connection between their student and a TASC home mentor who, in addition to an assigned school counselor, provides a stable personal connection for the four years of high school. And teachers appreciate the opportunity to address smaller difficulties and rough spots for students before they become bigger problems. The idea to celebrate the five year anniversary with a series of activities and contests was the brainchild of Mathematics teacher Greg Morris who also emceed the event.

Using their knowledge of the German language, geography and culture, students must answer questions of increasing difficulty. The questions are based on clues embedded in the classroom and, at times, only detectable with the use of UV light (see photo series below). German YouTube videos challenge the students' comprehension of German spoken at regular conversational speed. Each correct solution permits students to unlock containers which are employ with a variety of locks: combination locks based on numbers and words, padlocks, and directional movement locks. During the challenge, Ms. Hodgdon observes the levels of collaboration and teamwork using ConVal's schoolwide Collaboration rubric. After an hour of intense work, the team answers the challenge question — "Sie haben es geschafft!" ("They succeeded!"). The question was about a German luxury car brand, a topic that ties in with their curriculum unit on German cars, German car manufacturing, and German driving habits on the Autobahn.

They have to construct a rectangular prism with a volume of 100 cubic inches out of the supplied materials. A prism is a polyhedron that is formed by two equal and parallel faces, called bases, and different side faces, which are parallelograms. To complete the task successfully, the students must know the formula for volume (length x width x height) and apply it correctly to construct the prism to the specified volume. Collaboration, teamwork, and problem solving through rapid prototyping are key skills needed for success.

PowerSchool incorporates a Parent Portal, a powerful on-line tool for obtaining information about your child. You will be able to review your child’s schedule, grades, and attendance from any computer that has internet accessibility. While we are excited about this opportunity, we want to be certain that the system is completely and accurately configured to assure seamless parental/guardian access. The schools and teachers have begun using this new software and we will be finalizing setup for Parent/Guardian access by the end of September. At that time, you will receive information that will allow you to create an account and link your child(ren) to your parent account. We will be offering several Parent Portal training sessions in late September and early October to assist with use of the portal, answer any questions you may have, and assist with setup if you needed with creating your account. In the meantime, you can use the existing Parent Portal links, available at conval.edu, to access tutorials and other information about PowerSchool We understand and appreciate a connected presence and are working diligently to finish our roll-out of PowerSchool, so that you may use the Parent Portal. We take our commitment to communicating to our parents/guardians very seriously and understand your desire to access this information. It is our intent to have the Parent Portal access open by the end of September. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, should you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact Brian Grattan (Systems Administrator) at bgrattan@conval.edu or Kimberly Rizzo Saunders (Superintendent) at ksaunders@conval.edu.

Dr. Ann Allwarden has been promoted to Assistant School Superintendent. Dr. Allwarden previously served as principal of Antrim/Pierce elementary schools since 2013 and has served SAU#1 since 2008. Dr. Allwarden recently accepted a three-year contract from the ConVal School Board. She received her doctorate from Boston College and worked as a literacy coach for years. “Before serving proudly as a school principal, my career began in the classroom,” explains Allwarden. “I plan to bring a blend of both the teacher’s and the managerial perspective to my new role as Assistant Superintendent.” Replacing Dr. Allwarden as principal of Pierce/Antrim Elementary School is a new face to ConVal school district. John Jordan comes to SAU#1 from Ware Public Schools in Ware, Massachusetts. Jordan has experience in the principal’s office and has served as an administrator in Holyoke Public Schools. His early career also began as a classroom teacher. “The ConVal School District has a terrific reputation throughout the region, and I am thrilled to join the team as a new employee and as a resident of Greenfield, New Hampshire,” says Jordan. “I plan to bring my open door policy to Pierce and AES, and I greatly look forward to getting to know the students and parents in the communities we serve.” Superintendent Kimberly Saunders is confident both will be critical additions to the administrative team, and will make immediate contributions to quality education throughout the district. “Our strategic plan calls for the hiring and retention of a highly competent, caring and effective staff, and I know Ann and John fit that bill beautifully,” says Superintendent Saunders. “My team will spend the next few weeks getting everything set to welcome students back for the new school year on August 30th. This will be a great year.” The Contoocook Valley Regional School District is made up of 11 schools representing 2,179 students in 9 towns: Antrim, Bennington, Dublin, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Peterborough, Sharon, and Temple.

The seminar was sponsored by the Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication at Franklin Pierce. Fitzwater was White House Press Secretary for six years under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, one of the longest-serving press secretaries in history and only one of three Press Secretaries to serve in that position under two different presidents. Articles by ConVal students appeared in Granite Student Voice, the cover and an inside article on Presidential Photographer David Valdez. The picture above shows Michelle Jarest, Jason Frank, and Oliver Ward interviewing Marlin Fitzwater; the photo below shows Social Studies teacher Greg Leonard receiving a signed copy of a book written by Marlin Fitzwater. Professional photos of the event can be viewed on David Valdez' Instagram feed. Valdez was the official presidential photographer from 1989-1993.

In January we met with the SAU 1 and received approval to start this program. We are partnering with the SAU and have been granted space to store and pack the food. Many of you may be aware of this program but I will briefly explain what we will do. This is a non for profit 501c3 organization started in Dover 5 years ago. It is now in 38 school districts and 7 states. This program will provide food for school age children, identified by the District, in a grocery bag from Friday after school – Monday morning. (approx. 68 hours). All of the foods are kid friendly meals that children can do with very little assistance. Examples are: Peanut butter, tuna fish, Cheerios, granola bars, crackers, canned soup. The bags will go home with them either Thursday or Friday. Then transporters deliver to the designated schools. It is 100% volunteer based and all funds go directly to feed the children. How can you help? Possibly transporting from school you work, to another school. Collection of food. We have a list and sizes that we are requesting. Donations of any kind. Connections with sponsors. Shopping for supplies. Help with possible fundraisers. Any and all help is needed. We currently have 5 teams of packers. And dozens of people that have stepped forward in many capacities. We also have involved many of the local churches and places of worship. I have attached the list of the items and sizes we are collecting. Our contact info. Where to donate money. The food will stored in a storage facility in the SAU building starting in Sept. Items we are collecting: approx. 3000 calories Cereal small box or bag Soup 12 Pasta mac and cheese Peanut butter 18 oz Jelly no glass Canned Tuna or chicken or meat 12 oz Crackers Canned fruit Nutritional snack bars Ramen Noodles Contact: Linda Caracappa - convalnh@end68hoursofhunger.org Carol Cleary PH# 588-2468 Checks Payable to End 68 hours End 68 hours PO Box 40 Bennington, NH 03442 Online www.end68hoursofhunger.org you must designate Conval/Peterborough for us to receive in our chapter.

The students spent three nights in Lenox, rehearsing twice with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and once on their own. They also tackled a challenging ropes course at Jiminy Peak and, according to Nina Pollock, President of the Board of Music on Norway Pond, "put on one of the most memorable talent shows in the history of talent shows."

Beginning in January 2016, in preparation for the Interim Superintendent role, Ms. Saunders began to work on transition to her new role and began to assume the roles and responsibilities of the ConVal Superintendent. During this transitional period, Ms. Saunders has done an outstanding job serving families in the district and her performance has clearly demonstrated to the School Board members that she possesses the knowledge, skills and ability to lead our schools through the important and challenging times we face in the coming years. Kimberly Saunders is well-known and respected within the school district. She has worked with SAU #1 for seven years, and has ably served as Assistant Superintendent under Brendan Minnihan until he departed our district to serve as the new leader of the Laconia School District. The transition was a smooth one and Ms. Saunders has helped our board and the district maintain its course and timeline for the upcoming strategic planning work, which is designed to strengthen and improve our district and its member communities. The School Board has elected to present Superintendent Saunders with a three-year contract, to ensure a continued smooth transition and consistent leadership during this important time for our students, our taxpayers and all nine of our member communities. SAU #1 is one of the largest school districts in all of New Hampshire, and designing a strategic plan to ensure improved quality, access and affordability of our public schools is of paramount importance to all of us. We are confident Superintendent Saunders will successfully lead our district through these improvements. You may recall, the School Board recently voted to expend up to $50,000 to conduct a search for a permanent replacement for Superintendent Minnihan. Although Ms. Saunders was always considered a well-qualified, potential candidate for the job opening, our members felt it was important to open a search to find the best person for the job. That decision was made in mid-May and our board’s due diligence began immediately. During our preparations for the search, a few critical realities came to our attention. First, we became aware that well over a dozen New Hampshire school districts were also searching for a new superintendent, meaning SAU #1 would face a great deal of competition for its own candidate search. We were concerned this would potentially trigger a “bidding war” for a popular job candidate, and drive the price up for a new superintendent. In addition, the School Board came to the realization that any progress and current work on our district’s strategic plan would have to be delayed by at least one year in order to complete a job search, hiring and transition to new leadership. This caused great concern among School Board members, especially given the current status of relations between communities within SAU #1 and the strong desire by residents in all nine communities to complete and implement a new strategic plan to improve the district, save taxpayer money and boost academic performance. All of this information was factored into the School Board’s decision not to move forward with an extensive national search process. We took a second and closer look at the current leadership of SAU #1 and asked ourselves, “Can we move forward and accomplish our goals with the existing team?” The answer was a resounding yes. Given the complicated landscape of our school district and the need for someone to have the knowledge, background and local relationships to help guide our towns through the strategic plan process, we realized Superintendent Saunders was an outstanding asset to SAU #1 and the best choice to guide our students and our schools into the future. We are thrilled to be moving forward together and all of us are pleased to introduce to you our new Superintendent for SAU #1, Kimberly Saunders. Sincerely, SAU #1 ConVal School Board For a related news report, please see this article in the Monadnock Ledger Transcript.

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. is a compelling story of transformation and tolerance. The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. This musical version is based on the original Broadway production, which ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards. Beauty and the Beast Jr. features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The performances are the concluding activity of the ConVal Summer Academy class "Backstage to Onstage!" It will feature the full cast of characters, with spectacular costume opportunities and many fun supporting roles allowing students to play characters in the village and animated objects inside the fairy tale castle of the Beast.

This course is designed to be an introduction to forensic science techniques that are currently used in crime labs nationwide. Students students learn about the history of forensics and how it has rapidly evolved in the 21st century. They use trained observational skills and technology to investigate mock crime scenes and prepare evidence as it would be prepared for a real courtroom case. Judging from these pictures, their engagement levels are really high!

[post_content] => The ConVal School Board recently voted to set the rate for families interested in tuitioning their out-of-district students to any one of our ConVal schools.
The board agreed to continue offering families a rate of 40% of the average cost calculated by the Department of Education. Therefore, the rate for a family to tuition a student into ConVal is currently set at $6,975.00 for the 2017/2018 school year. Transportation is the responsibility of the family.
To apply to tuition your child into ConVal, a letter to the Superintendent of Schools should be sent to:

If any of these questions have sparked your curiosity, you are in luck. As a follow-up to the ARC (Art Reacts with Chemistry) showcase on May 25, the students in Dr. Milne's AP Chemistry classes created a 66-page lab manual as their concluding activity for the course.
The manual was then converted into a flip book which can be viewed online by clicking here; it can also be accessed via the QR code above.
The ARC project emphasized the interdisciplinary nature of science and art as students apply chemistry knowledge to create works of art. Novelty and creativity in the classroom captured the students’ attention and enhanced their cognitive capacities.

Junior Charlotte Lechner determined that her interest in fashion would drive her final project for this novel. As part of the project requirements, students were to research clothing and fashion from the 1920s. The original assessment asked for sketches and pieces of fabric to show their vision for pieces that they would ideally want to create. Creating clothing for dolls was offered as an additional option. Lechner went beyond this additional option a created a life-size replica of a dress that she designed for the character of Daisy Buchanan. With her previous research in mind, she created an evening dress which was fully representative of the era. The dress includes black fabric, sequins, and feather boas in order to bring the outfit to life. It is accessorized with the common jewelry piece of a pearl necklace. Lechner shared images of her steps of completion as well as sketches for outfits for the other main characters. While it has been great for Ms. Rivet to see Lechner’s creativity come to life, her parents also recognized how this assessment opportunity was impactful for their daughter. Mr. Lechner commented that, for his daughter, “It was a wonderful way to delve deeply into an aspect of The Great Gatsby.” When projects such as this come to life, it renews the excitement for learning and making learning relevant to students in a way that is meaningful for them.

Senior Briana Jones had four goals, senior Grace Bowman one goal and one assist, senior Sarah Kolk one goal, and senior Sam Worobey two assists. Sophomore Lily Sheridan scored three goals and had three assists. "All the seniors really stepped up today," said coach Derek Sorbello after the game. "From the first draw, senior Sierra Tracy set the tone that the Cougars were in it to win. Her intensity was critical and carried over to the whole team." "Grace Bowman, who had never played lacrosse before this season, had the assist on our first goal of the game and then scored the goal to put us ahead in the second half," Sorbello continued. "Briana Jones and Lily Sheridan led our attack and were a force to be reckoned with. When they shot, they made it count." "All of our midfielders, led by Sam Worobey and Sarah Kolk, did an excellent job slowing down the Derryfield players and preventing fast breaks," Sorbello commented. "On defense, senior Natalie Klint led the squad, playing smart and stingy. Sophomore Emma Crowley, after singing a great rendition of the national anthem, was outstanding in goal and had 11 saves." Sorbello said that he could not be prouder for how well the ConVal Cougars played against an opponent who is an undisputed league leader. "I could go on and speak about every player and how well they played. It was just a great team effort. Everything came together for the Cougars tonight.

On Monday, Ms. Bastoni's Introduction to Photo/Video class and Ms. Hodgdon's German III class had the opportunity to conduct a Skype interview with the world-famous photographer who lives in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Ahead of the interview, students in both classes prepared questions which were read aloud in German. For over an hour, Nois7 answered questions and spoke, partly in English and partly in German, with Ms. Hodgdon's students providing the translation. The questions covered a wide range of topics. What inspired Nois7 to get into photography? What prompted him to develop his unique style? How long has he used Photoshop? What are his future plans?
The interview ended with Nois7 taking a photo of the Skype session with the students and publishing it on his Instagram feed (see below). Find out more about the unique art of Nois7, check out Robert Jahns' artist's statement online and follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nois7/ .

The thrill and ambiguity of traveling has always been something exciting to me. Discovering and understanding new cultures through experience is personally the most effective way I learn. In high school, I found interactive projects in classes such as Western World History taught by Mr. Leonard, and Current Events taught by Mr. Seymour, to be the best way to not only learn, but to retain information. To be honest, I left the states with mixed emotions. I knew I wanted to continue my education through experience and interaction, but leaving home where all was familiar wasn’t something I felt ready to do. Looking back, I now know that girl flying for the first time by herself miles away from home was ready. She had the curiosity and confidence, but didn’t quite yet know it. She was about to learn not just about her new surroundings, but about herself.
Working as an Au pair in Europe has been an incredible experience. I’ve been remarkably fortunate to have met international friends who were once strangers, roamed the streets of historic Spanish cities, and adventured through the mountains and beaches of Spain. This gap year has only reaffirmed my view of the beauty traveling withholds. There are no words or pictures that can vividly enough explain the adrenaline rush of visiting a place that to oneself is uncharted territory. Through this year abroad, my curiosity and confidence that was once veiled by some apprehensiveness has helped me gain a better understanding of my own personal beliefs and ethics. While I do think it will take a lifetime, or maybe two, to fully satisfy my wanderlust, my Spanish adventure has given me the gift of self knowledge and has lead me to so many magical people and places along the way.

Burns and Florentine Films revived the documentary film tradition in the United States in 1990s. He is responsible for such award-winning documentaries as "The Civil War," "Baseball," "Jazz," "The War," "National Parks: America's Best Idea," "Prohibition," "The Central Park Five," and "The Roosevelts." Burns was also the executive producer behind "The West" and "Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies" which can still be seen on PBS. At Florentine Films, students learned more about the process of editing, film making, production, and writing. They spoke with writer Dayton Duncan and watched a sneak peak of Burns' soon-to-be-released documentary, "Vietnam." The filed trip showed students the possibilities that are open to them if they choose to pursue photo and video as a career choice. Visiting Florentine Films also demonstrated to them the power of the medium. As one student was overheard saying: "I usually don't care much for history but it reeled me in and I want to watch the movie now."

He is the creator of several award-winning documentary films, including Samuel, Who Cares About Kelsey?, Restraint and Seclusion: Hear Our Stories. In 2014, Habib was appointed by President Barack Obama to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, a committee that promotes policies and initiatives that support independence and lifelong inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. For his current project, which focuses on the transition of students with intellectual disabilities from high school to the workplace, Habib chose ConVal as one of just four schools nationwide to be included in his documentary. At ConVal, he filmed a Unified Basketball game in January, then returned in March to film additional footage, following Garret Shows throughout the day. Habib was particularly interested in filming Shows' participation in Brian Pickering's Student-Principal Advisory Committee, lunch, and the inclusionary practices in the Health/Physical Education and Environmental Science classes. Habib's third day filming at ConVal took place last week and was devoted to Garrett's participation in a theatre arts class as well as his after-school work experience at Shaws. Priscilla Morrill of the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, who happened to be at the high school that morning for a different reason, captured Garrett's interactions with Habib. Please see her excellent article "Documenting Inclusion Practices: Award-winning filmmaker selects local high school for its work in helping students with disabilities" online.

Both ConVal's boys and girls a capella groups, the MorinTunes and the Clef Hangers, each performed several selections from their respective repertoires. In addition to the ConVal groups, the Manchester West Chamber Choir performed a series of songs, as did the Plymouth State University Mixed Emotions women's ensemble and the Plymouth State University Vocal Order men's group. A highlight of the evening was the unscheduled joint performance of the song "Singing A Capella," for which the Vocal Order invited the MorinTunes up on stage.

The play, which has run continuously in London since October of 1952, turns the conventional “whodunit” on its head with its twist ending. Christie was so committed to the secrecy of the plot that even the short story, which was the basis for the play, has never been published in the United Kingdom. The only way to discover the secrets of Monkswell Manor and its inhabitants are to take a theatrical visit with us yourself. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors and can be reserved by calling the main office of ConVal High School (924-3869) during school hours. The cast features Hunter Anderson of Antrim, Ryan Hoiriis of Bennington, and Riley Bemont, Madeline Ciocci, Daniel Curran, Becket Gourlay and Haley Spitzfaden of Peterborough, and Joshua Bartsch of Wilton. The crew is run by Jessica Adams and Nick Batty of Greenfield, and Mickey Maguire and Michael Zrzavy of Peterborough. This production is directed by Liz Halper with assistance from Katharine Heck, both of Greenfield.

They got to participate in a workshop guided by members of "The Viola Question," Yale University's improvisational theatre group. The challenge of improvisational comedy performances comes from the fact that they are guided by audience suggestions and participation. They follow a simple set of rules, called the "game." The Viola Question specializes in both long- and short-form improv. Their shows offer a variety of styles: quicker games, which focus on wit and audience interaction, as well as longer scenes, which revolve around character development, storytelling, and situational humor. Since its founding, "The Viola Question" has performed at many notable venues, including The Second City Chicago, Atlantic City, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre of New York, Caroline's of NewYork, Standup NY, the Comic Strip, ComedySportz, Level 3 Communications (A Fortune 500 Company), ImprovOlympics, Providence's Perishable Theater, and Branford College at Yale University. Members of the Viola Question have recently performed with Tina Fey (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live), Stephen Colbert (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report), Gilbert Gottfried (The Aristocrats), Julia Roberts (Mona Lisa Smile), and Kevin Nealon (Saturday Night Live, Weeds).

The band read a short musical picture book complete with sound effects. They demonstrated their instruments, taught briefly about musical notation, and gave audience members an opportunity to interact with various instruments. Band director Jim Wickham observed: "The high school students, led by Michael Zrzavy, held the attention of the elementary students with passion for their music. Their delivery in presentation demonstrated knowledge and care. It was a pleasure watching the high schoolers work with the younger students." The performance was indeed a particular hit with the young students, one of whom gave Mr. Wickham a high five at the end (see picture at the end).

Schepker explains the mathematical foundation of his art this way: "Two dimensional geometry as laid out by Euclid is mostly unchanged to this day. New geometries have been found and developed though, like tesselations (tilings), projective geometry and so on."
"Solid geometry deals with space enclosed by surfaces, or faces. So we can say that the space of a cube is enclosed by six squares (hence the proper name hexahedron. Hexa is Greek for six, hedron means face). A square is a regular polygon (poly = many, gon =side) with four sides, that is all sides are the same, and all angles are the same. A regular polyhedron would therefore be made up of regular polygons. Only four more regular polyhedra are possible: the tetrahedron, made up of four (tetra = four) equilateral triangles,the octahedron (octa = eight) made up of eight equilateral triangles,the icosahedron (icosa = twenty) with twenty equilateral triangles and lastly the dodecahedron, comprised of twelve pentagons (do = two, deca = ten,2+10=12)."
"But that is not all," he continues. "These five regular solids, the Platonic Solids, have relationships to one another. If all midpoints of the faces of a solid are connected to the face next to it we get another regular solid. In the case of the tetrahedron there will be another tetrahedron inside, albeit upside down from the original. When the midpoints of the faces of a hexahedron (cube)are connected to the faces next to it we find an octahedron, and, upon connecting the midpoints of the faces of an dodecahedron to the faces next to it we have an icosahedron. And this works both ways: an icosahedron has a dodecahedron in it, the cube is dual to the octahedron and the tetrahedron is, you guessed it, self-dual."

The annual trip is sponsored by ConVal Student Council. Students worked in homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries and other service agencies around the city. It is not a trip for sightseeing and touring--students work hard, sleep on a church floor, and return to ConVal 36 hours later. It's a very fulfilling trip for the students and opens their eyes to problems of the world.

The graduating students were: Dan Kashulines (ConVal), Sierra Landry (Conant), Jamie Mascitti (Conant), Jessie Mascitti (Conant), Veronika Raczek (ConVal), and Kacy Sauvola (Conant). Durgin praised the class of January 2016 completers as her "smartest class ever." Not one of the students of the intensive, 90-day course had to retake even a single assessment, all of them achieved either Merit Roll (89%-94%) or Honor Roll (95%-100%) status and, with zero absences or tardies, the entire class achieved a perfect attendance record. Student speaker Dan Kashulines thanked Sister Durgin for teaching this class for the past three months and expressed his gratitude for having been given this challenging but rewarding learning opportunity at no cost. The Nurse Assistant Training Program includes theory and clinical components as well as two-year CPR/AED and First Aid certifications. The course typically costs $1,500 but was offered to the ConVal and Conant LNA students for free. The American Red Cross Nurse Assistant Training Program is offered at ConVal Regional High School on a quarterly basis. For more information, please call Donna Noonan at 924-3869 x3009.

In this piece, Dean makes connections between the innovation boom of the 1920s, which was followed by stock market crash in 1929, and the decade-long housing market bubble and recession of 2008. "Art allows us to deconstruct myths and to re-manifest them in a new way," Dean says. The Hummer, which Dean and his collaborators cut up and restyled as a carriage, is a historical reference to the "Hoover carts" that were driven by impoverished Southern farmers during the Depression. "Hoover carts" were built by taking cars, which the owners could no longer afford to drive, and having them pulled by either mule or horse.

TASC homerooms competed to see who can contribute the most donations. Donations of non-perishable food items addressed the need for holiday foods. Boxes and cans of traditional holiday side dishes were especially welcome.
The results of the Interact Food Drive competition are as follows: Third place went to Ms. Hodgdon's room; second place to Mrs. Morin's room; and first place went to Mrs. Felegara's TASC homeroom: her students collected over 90 items.
The total number of donations was over 400 items. Thank you very much to everyone who brought in food!

This learning commons is located at Sanborn Regional High School and was the result of an architectural redesign. As Sanborn librarian Pam Harland (second from left) explains to Ashley Jones, Mike Wozmak and Rachael Bowman, students and teachers no longer need a library only for access to archived printed materials. Instead, they require a place that encourages participatory learning. Flexible space design, including easily configurable, mobile bookshelves, and the reorganization of the library collection from the 19th century Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) to a genre-last name system are some characteristics of a fully implemented learning commons.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and may be reserved through the high school main office at 924-3869. “Crazy for You” features the timeless tunes of George and Ira Gershwin with an updated script filled with the classic Broadway foibles of unrequited love, mistaken identity and big time dreams. Whether you enjoy the heartwarming melodies of “Someone to Watch Over Me” or the toe-tapping beats of “I Got Rhythm”, this production will satisfy all your musical desires! Spanning the map from New York City to Deadrock, Nevada, lazy cowboys, glitzy showgirls, and enthusiastic tourists come together to put on a once-in-a-lifetime production to save the Gaiety Theatre in the middle-of-nowhere. Assisted by Bobby Child, masquerading as the famed choreographer, Bela Zangler, the show seems destined to bring Bobby together with Polly, the only woman in town. When the REAL Bela Zangler arrives in Deadrock and Bobby’s mother insists on foreclosing on the Gaiety, delightful musical chaos ensues. ConVal High School students participating in “Crazy for You.” are: Ingrid Aho, Hunter Anderson, Cameron Ibach, Macayla Mandel, Carly Storro and Michael Whitney of Antrim, Clara Quintanilha of Bennington, Nick Batty of Greenfield, Anna McGuiness, Lexi Williams and Daisy Young of Hancock, Sunny Badrawy, Riley Bemont, Madeline Ciocci, Emma Crowley, Daniel Curran, Joshua Curran, Isabel Dreher, Daniel Frehner, Becket Gourlay, Cheyenne Heinselman, Diego Juarez, Kaylin Krslovic, Marissa Lombardi, Eve Pierce, and Luke Wilson of Peterborough, Jason Frank of Sharon, and Grace Clayton of Temple. CRAZY FOR YOU®, THE NEW GERSHWIN® MUSICAL is presented by arrangement with TAMS WITMARK MUSIC LIBRARY, INC. 560 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022

Emily Daniels is a student assistance counselor at ConVal and was recognized for her work with the ConVal Substance Abuse Task Force. She developed a diverse group of members representing stakeholders from the high school, middle school, elementary school, physicians, parents, students, police officers, administrators, and MCH. Under Emily's leadership, the Task Force went through a comprehensive and structured strategic planning process. Emily spent a great deal of time building trust and a common language within the group, which allowed the team to have candid conversations about a difficult issue. By the end of the school year, the Task Force completed a complete analysis of our current practices, policies, and procedures. After a two day retreat in the summer, the Task Force committed to a strategic plan that focuses on three important issues; Public Perception, Education, and Policy. Paul Barnes is a custodian at the high school. He is awesome at his job! Anytime you ask him for help he is right there and never complains. He is helpful and considerate and goes out of his way to help students and staff. Paul is an active member of our ConVal community and is present at sporting events, faculty events, and funness outings. He is positive and friendly and has a great sense of humor. Paul takes pride in his work at ConVal and works with everyone to keep our building clean and safe.
