Caragher's Corner
Afternoon Parents/Guardians,
Is anyone in the mood for dinner and a show? This evening there is a Spaghetti Supper in Antrim sponsored by Friends of Beth Gibney (See the flyer below). I've just learned that there are still 40 openings for the 5:00 seating, which would be the perfect precursor to the amazing district wide band concert in the CVHS Gym at 6:30 this evening. I encourage you to consider attending both!
Next week is a busy week with two amazing events that I would encourage everyone to partake in.
- Wednesday (3/18) is the district wide Chorus Concert in the CVHS Gym at 6:30.
- Thursday (3/19) is the Maple Celebration of Learning from 5:30-7:00 at GBS.
All are welcome to come and enjoy both events!
The Bobcat Corner Store has officially opened! It is open to students and staff every Wednesday until the end of the year and at special school events for the community. Here is the link for the store!
Have a great weekend!

Conval Wellness Committee
Hello from the ConVal Wellness Committee! We want to provide timely information about how
our students, families and staff can stay healthy, so will be sharing a short item in this newsletter
once a month. Below is this month's "News from the Wellness Committee" item. We hope you
find them beneficial!
March, 2026 - HAPPY NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH
National Nutrition Month® is an annual campaign established in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. During the month of March, everyone is invited to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthy/beneficial eating and physical activity habits.
Why is nutrition so important to our students?
Nutrition is a critical part of health and development. Better nutrition is related to improved health overall, stronger immune systems, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity.
Most importantly HEALTHY CHILDREN LEARN BETTER!
https://www.eatright.org/ is a fantastic website with a wealth of knowledge where you can learn more about food, health, fitness and even recipes to use in your day to day!
