There was even an opportunity to participate in a jam session in the Band Room with ConVal teachers Brock Lambert and Mike Wozmak.
The ConVal Games also have a competitive dimension. Each class competes individually and in groups to determine a class champion. The class with the most tickets earns the right to choose their school color for the year. This year’s winner was the Junior class.
“I was thrilled to participate in my first ConVal Games,” said Principal Heather McKillop after the event. “I was able to visit many of the activities and talked to students at each station. The ConVal Games were a great culture-building activity for our school as we come back together in person.”
