    Students Interact with German Film Maker

    Students in Cindi Hodgdon's German 4 class recently had the opportunity to participate in an online screening of the award-winning German movie "Erinnerungen einer Vergessenen Kindheit" ("Memories of a Forgotten Childhood").

    The short drama film tells the powerful story of a young boy growing up in a household with two addicted parents. It explores the challenges and emotional burdens faced by children in difficult family situations. The film provides a meaningful way to raise awareness among students about resilience, compassion, and empathy. It can be particularly impactful for children who are living in challenging circumstances, delivering a message of hope and strength.

    After the viewing, students engaged via Zoom in a question-and-answer session with the producer and cinematographer, Nico Drago. The entire experience was in German. "Our students loved that they were able to use their German outside of the classroom and were proud that they could communicate with a German native speaker about meaningful topics," said Frau Hodgdon after the event.

  • Adar Cohen Addresses Restorative Practices

    Adar Cohen Addresses Restorative Practices

    Adar Cohen is a mediator and facilitator. A ConVal graduate (Class of 2000), Cohen holds a Ph.D. in conflict resolution from the University of Dublin and has led solution-oriented conversations in conflict zones from the ethno-nationalist struggles in Northern Ireland to the gang-contested areas in Chicago. He has lectured at Harvard University, the University of Chicago, and, at the invitation of the King of Bhutan, at Sherubste College, the Himalayan Kingdom’s first institution for higher education.

    At ConVal High School, Cohen currently works with a group of student leaders on restorative practices that repair harm through dialogue and connection. Restorative practices are designed to build a strong sense of community in schools, to teach interpersonal skills, to repair harm whenever conflict does occur, and to proactively meet students’ needs — including those that result from trauma in or outside of school — so misbehavior is less common.

    Cohen will meet with students on three additional occasions in the coming weeks. "We are very excited to work with Adar on this important issue," said Principal Heather McKillop. "Student voice and agency will be significant elements as we move towards creating a restorative community at ConVal High School."


  • School Counselors welcome parents
    Sep 19, 2024

    ConVal High School Open House

    School counselors welcomed parents to Open House at ConVal on Thursday, September 19. After picking up their student's schedule, parents could meet with their child's TASC homeroom teacher and then follow their daily schedule, meeting each classroom teacher in person and learning about the different classes. An estimated 125 families attended the event.

    Counselors also encouraged the parents of eligible students to sign up their child for the PSAT. The PSAT is a “practice” SAT test, the college entrance exam that is required for many colleges and universities across the country. In addition to getting practice in taking the test, several scholarships use PSAT scores to determine students for college scholarship awards. 

    The deadline to register for the PSAT is Wednesday, September 25. Students can sign up in the School Counseling Office with Mrs. Garthe (cash or check made out to "ConVal Regional High School" in the amount of $18). Fee waivers are available for eligible students; ask your school counselor about fee waivers.

    The final panelist was Colby-Sawyer's Athletic Director Jeanette McKillop who is responsible for the college's 21 NCAA intercollegiate athletics programs, as well as the hiring, recruitment, and supervision of the athletic department's employees and student workers.

    Each panelist provided unique insights on what students can expect as they consider athletics options at the collegiate level.
