[post_content] => On Wednesday night May 25, eleven students competed in the final round to win a donation for the charity of their choice through the Youth Empowered through Service (YES) program.
YES is a partnership between the Mariposa Museum and the ConVal Social Studies Department. Every quarter, students research various charities. They explore their mission, research their cost structure and administrative overhead, and track their respective records in service delivery. The students then explore which of the charities is likely to benefit the most from the fixed amount of money — $3,000 — that they are competing for.
Student presenters compete against each other for a spot in the finals which is held annually in May before a panel of judges. This year, the finalists were Ivy Battaglia, , Emma Brown, Chris Charbonneau, Anthony Clark, Hannah Garfinkle, Arielle Garner, Bailey Guinn, Maryssa Williams, and Taryn Wing. As judges this year served:
- Steve Bartsch, Dean of Students at ConVal Regional High School;
- Gina Goff, Director of Community Involvement, C & S Wholesale Grocers, Keene; and
- Warren R. Muir, Senior Fellow, Granite Research Institute, and Founder of the Cyprus Friendship Project.

[post_content] => Students in two of Ms. Hodgdon's German classes celebrated their runner-up placement in the "Bundesliga Total!" contest. The competition was organized by the Goethe Institut, Germany's worldwide cultural institute, in collaboration with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Every month over the course of the soccer season, twenty international teams watched a short video of the highlights of a Bundesliga game (“Match of the Month”) and answered questions about the game and the video. Teams received points for all correct answers. After each round, the updated standings were posted on the Goethe Institut's Step into German website.
The team with the highest point total at the end of the season was declared the championship team. ConVal's team — the "New Hampshire Faultiere" — lost by a single point to a team from Marietta, Georgia.
The teams with the highest scores received Bundesliga team jerseys and autographs of Bundesliga players; all participating teams were awarded soccer-related prizes.
Cindi Hodgdon's students received an official, autographed German soccer jersey by Bayer Leverkusen star player Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. Congratulations to all!
