Message from Principal McKillop
Good Afternoon, Cougar Nation!
It has been nice to have a rain-free week on campus!
Last Saturday, we hosted just over 400 students at the homecoming dance. Thanks to all of our staff members who helped chaperone the event and the senior class officers who worked so hard to plan a great evening.
There are some wonderful learning experiences happening inside and outside of our classrooms. Please see the classroom snapshots below. You'll also see some pictures of our students engaging in a practicum off campus and some attending a field trip to the Boston Fine Arts Museum.
Congratulations to our senior student-athletes who have been honored this week with their respective teams. ConVal Nation will host additional senior night recognition games next week. Please see more details under the athletics and co-curricular section below.
As a reminder, please make sure to reference the table of contents and important dates section of the newsletter. There is always quite a bit included! Since this is an active link, you can always go back to click on it as a reference.
Tomorrow, there will be a 5k race in Peterborough, the our town trot (https://cheetahdesignstudio.com/our-town-trot-peterborough-nh/). Consider lacing up those sneakers and joining me in the morning for a run around town as we raise funds for the FCVA.
I am pictured above with a member of the girls volleyball team. Tonight is the "dig pink" game to focus attention on breast cancer awareness. I look forward to supporting the team tonight as ConVal (#2) takes on Oyster River (#1). It should be a great game!
Have a wonderful weekend, and GO COUGARS!
Best,
Heather
