Message from Principal McKillop
Good Afternoon, Cougar Nation!
Even though this has been a week shortened by two days, great things continue to happen, both in and out of the classrooms, at ConVal High School. On a daily basis, I see students engaged in learning, working on projects, and collaborating on group assignments.
There are some special student achievements I would like to highlight this week. Two of our students have been honored with Silent Servant awards by the Peter R. Marsh Foundation. In athletics, five of our students have received NH All-State honors in volleyball, field hockey, and golf, respectively — three as First Team members and two in the Honorable Mention category. Student Council members organized two successful events recently, a mud volleyball tournament and a blood drive, and have proven themselves as successful leaders in the school community.
Speaking of community: please consider attending the ConVal Community Forum tonight from 6:30-8:30 pm, either in person in the Lucy Hurlin Theatre or via the YouTube live stream (www.youtube.com/c/ConValEvents). There is also an opportunity for a meet-and-greet with School Board members after the presentations. For more details, please go to this web post on the District website.
Looking ahead, tomorrow is Veterans Day, a day that is designated to honor service members of the United States Armed Forces. If you have a veteran in your family or know someone, perhaps a neighbor or a colleague, who has served or is currently serving, please make sure to thank them for their service.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
Heather

Both the participants and the audience had a great time. Thank you, Student Council!
