SMS Choruses Perform At District Concerts
On Wednesday, March 18, students in the middle and high school chorus ensembles presented the Annual District Choral Concert at ConVal High School Gymnasium.

The ConVal High School Chamber Choir performed the evening's first selection, "Catch and Release" by Jocelyn Hagen. The South Meadow School 5th Grade Chorus followed with "Puttin' On The Ritz" in an arrangement by Kirby Shaw, which featured several well-applauded solos by individual singers. The Great Brook School 5th and 6th Grade Chorus presented "Prints of Peace" by Rollo Dilworth.

Jake Runestad's "Nyon Nyon," an exploration of the effects that one can produce with the human voice, allowed the members of ConVal Select Choir to showcase their musical talents. "Love Never Leaves," a heartfelt piece about remembering a loved one, composed by Jacob Narverud, allowed the SMS Select Chorus to shine. ConVal's Trouble Clefs a cappella ensemble picked up the pace with "Happier" in an arrangement by Jacob Narverud.

Jacob Narverud also composed "Nisi Ni Moja," an upbeat number performed by the Great Brook 7th and 8th Grade Chorus. Ayrian Norman provided the next selection of the concert, "Fly," which was presented by the South Meadow 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Chorus. The ConVal Concert Choir performed the penultimate song, the technically challenging "From the Underground" by Dan Wiebe.

The heartwarming "Dance, Love, Sing, Live" by Greg Gilpin brought together all participating chorus members for the concert's inspirational finale, including elementary school singers from Antrim, Dublin Consolidated, Greenfield, Hancock, Peterborough, Pierce, and Temple Elementary Schools.

Congratulations to all the student performers and their chorus directors, Logan Phillips (GBS), Elizabeth Fortin (SMS), and Brian Moore (ConVal High School)!

Community Forum
A community forum, sponsored by the ConVal School Board, was held on Wednesday, February 18.

For just over an hour, members of the school board and the district administration presented on a variety of topics that will come before voters in March. Chief among them were the budget and several warrant articles, including one on open enrollment and one on Francestown's re-proposed withdrawal from the ConVal cooperative school district.

In the photo, Business Manager Neal Cass gives a detailed explanation of the proposed budget, including the district assessment.

After the presentation, audience members and online viewers engaged in an hour-long question-and-answer period with school board members and administrators.

The YouTube video of the community forum, including the Q&A session, can be accessed here.
