Sarah Grossi, who teaches the Careers in Education program at the Region 14 Applied Technology Center at ConVal High School, conducted a breakout session on "Creating Routines: Classroom Management in Career and Technical Education" on Tuesday, August 9.
Grossi's presentation was part of the CTE Summer Learning Series that is organized annually by the New Hampshire Department of Education. The event took place in the Memorial Union Building on the University of New Hampshire Durham campus.
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!
This intensive Summer Academy program focuses on the production of ConVal's seventh annual summer musical!
To reboot our summer musical showcase, we're going back to the beginning. Returning to the ConVal stage after its Summer Academy premiere in 2014, we can't wait to share this timeless classic with you.
Thirty-six ConVal district students from grades 5-12 are working together to stage this 75-minute production with only thirty-eight hours of rehearsal.

A special thank you goes to Administrative Assistant Lisa Serard as well as Deb Coyne, Amanda Hinton, and Jim Wickham who served as Graduation Advisors.
We would like to express our appreciation to Bryon Compo and Frank Gorecki of the school custodial services for setting up the event and thank the sound and video streaming crews who set up the livestream so that friends and family members could attend virtually.
Last, but certainly not least, our sincere gratitude goes to all the teachers, paraprofessionals, school counselors, and support staff of ConVal High School who taught, coached, and mentored our graduates. Without you, this moment of celebration would not have been possible.
Thank you all for making the 2022 ConVal Graduation Ceremonies a success!
Led by faculty, staff, and administrators, the members of the Class of 2022 formed a procession into ConVal's Stadium field to the traditional tune of Sir Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" march.
To celebrate the Class of 2022, faculty, staff, and administrators gather in the atrium of the Applied Technology Center (ATC) to don their academic regalia.
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.
