                    [post_content] => Students in Andy Bills' Graphic Design class recently took a field trip to the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester.

The purpose of the trip was to study art history through objects of art in their historical development and the contexts of genre, design, format, and style. Students learned how to detect visual styles of both representation and abstraction, how styles expressed artistic sensibilities, and how they changed over time.

"By studying art history, graphic design students are better able to connect design problems with stylistic solutions that best illustrate their concepts," Bills noted.

Students were particularly fascinated by a work titled "Gautama 2017," a woolen rug designed by Faig Ahmed. It is one of the new acquisitions at the Currier. Ahmed designed the rug on a computer and traditional weavers from Azerbaijan produced it, using techniques that go back thousands of years. The flowing, trompe l'oeil paint components of the work are actually made out of woven wool.

Hart and Charlotte Waddell of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) informed ConVal's Region 14 Applied Technology Center that its technology and engineering education program had been selected as the recipient of a 2019 Program Excellence Award.

"Having passed the review process," the letter by Hart and Waddell states in part, "your school’s technology and engineering education program is truly exemplary among other programs in your state, at your school’s level. You know more than anyone the tremendous amount of work and dedication that is required to design, maintain, and improve quality programs like yours."

"Primarily, your students are the ones who will have richer lives for having participated in your program," the statement continued. "Not many endeavors are more important than helping students become technologically literate and learn more about the world around them. Thank you for investing in your students!"

Mrs. Fabianski will receive the official recognition at the Program Excellence General Session of the 2019 ITEEA Annual Conference in Kansas City, Missouri on Thursday, March 28, 2019. Please see the letter in its entirety by clicking here.

Congratulations, students and Mrs. Fabianski!

                    [post_content] => On Saturday, February 3, 2019 ConVal’s Ocean Bowl Team took third place in the 2019 Nor’easter Bowl that was held at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.

The competition consists of five round-robin competition matches to start the day. The second half of the day is a single elimination tournament where the winning teams continue to advance and compete. The Conval Ocean Bowl team made it the semi-finals, where they lost to York who ended up coming in second place.

The team members included: Savannah Kersbergen (Captain), Ryan Beal, Bronwyn Tyler-Wall, Isabel Dreher, Avery Pope, and Sandra MacKay coached by Griffen Fletcher (math/physics teacher) and Anna Muncy (science teacher).

The team had a few obstacles to overcome, but they immediately focused and gave it their full effort. The team won two round-robins and lost two round-robins. When it became single elimination, they played well and defeat the number one seed (Falmouth A) to advance to the semi-finals.

This year, the Nor’Easter Bowl’s committee dedicated the Team Sportsmanship Award to Conval’s very own Jon Manley. Jon Manley was a previous coach for the Conval Ocean Bowl team taking the first teams to the Nor’easter Bowl and NOSB Finals. Jon Manley coached the team when Mr. Fletcher was a student on the team, inspiring Mr. Fletcher to carry on ConVal's and Mr. Manley’s legacy.

The Nor’easter Bowl is an annual, regional competition of the National Ocean Bowl (NOSB). It was created by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. First place continues to the National Ocean Science Bowl Competition held in Washington D.C. this year.

The 2019 competition is sponsored by its co-sponsors, the University of Maine School of Marine Sciences, University of New Hampshire/NH Sea Grant, and the Gulf of Maine Marine Education Association. It is additionally sponsored by NOAA, Deerbrook Charitable Trust, American Honda Foundation, NASA, Eastman Foundation, Lockheed Martin, Shell, Schwab Charitable Fund, Conservation Fund, The Curtis & Edith Munson Foundation, Sharon & Wayne Sterberger, BOEM, IEEE Ocean Engineering Society, Marine Technology Society, National Marine Educators Association, and Leave Only Bubbles Marine Sciences Curriculum Supplies. There are numerous other funding sources, institutions providing volunteers, and institutions providing field trip prizes.

                    [post_content] => National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), will be celebrated from February 4-8, 2019, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of professional school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do.

The ASVAB is a career planning and exploration program that combines a multiple-aptitude test with an interest self-assessment and a wide range of career exploration tools. It is offered free to any interested senior or junior at ConVal.

The ASVAB is an excellent assessment for any student who is still unsure about their future career path, and, for those interested in a career in the armed forces, it is good practice for the “real” ASVAB.

On Saturday, January 19, ConVal hosted the VEX Robotics Tournament. The competition was fought among dozens of teams from New Hampshire and Vermont.




In the VEX Competitions, which are presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts are put to the test on the playing field as robots compete in autonomous and joystick-driven modes. VEX tournaments are held at the regional, state, and national levels, and local champions go on to compete against the best in the world at VEX Worlds each April.

ConVal’s VEX Robotics team Apollo #1824 consists of Max Heck, Rowan Inglis, Brigham Boice, Abby Watson, Adam St Amand, Avery Crowley, and Jack Koester.

ALL STUDENTS

Second Semester Begins January 28, 2019

Students should see their counselor well in advance to ensure their schedule is set for second semester. The last day to add new classes for the semester is February 1.

Registration Process Begins February 5, 2019

Students will begin the process of selecting courses for the 2019-2020 school year. The process will begin with small group meetings with the school counselors, who will review the course offerings and the course registration sheet. From there, individual appointments will be scheduled to review student’s course selections. Students will receive a pass in their 1st block class the day of their appointment and are strongly encouraged to keep this meeting.

The 2019-2020 Program of Studies will be available on the website starting January 28, 2019. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to read the Program of Studies to help in making decisions about courses.

We will once again be using the PowerSchool portal for course registration. Students and parents are invited to request classes together online prior to the student’s appointment. However, students will meet individually with their school counselor to ensure the selections are appropriate and that all requirements are met. The portal will open February 8th.

Students and parents who need their account information should contact their school counselor.

            [post_content] => Students in Andy Bills' Graphic Design class recently took a field trip to the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester.

The purpose of the trip was to study art history through objects of art in their historical development and the contexts of genre, design, format, and style. Students learned how to detect visual styles of both representation and abstraction, how styles expressed artistic sensibilities, and how they changed over time.

"By studying art history, graphic design students are better able to connect design problems with stylistic solutions that best illustrate their concepts," Bills noted.

Students were particularly fascinated by a work titled "Gautama 2017," a woolen rug designed by Faig Ahmed. It is one of the new acquisitions at the Currier. Ahmed designed the rug on a computer and traditional weavers from Azerbaijan produced it, using techniques that go back thousands of years. The flowing, trompe l'oeil paint components of the work are actually made out of woven wool.
