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."

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 seinIch 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 schmeckenIch 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

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.

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.
