The 2025 District Choral Festival took place in the ConVal Gym on Wednesday, March 19.

The concert demonstrated the strength of the district-wide music program, covered a wide variety of musical styles, and showcased the diverse musical talents of ConVal students at different levels.

The final number was an all-singer rendition of "Truly Brave," a special mash-up of two great songs: "Brave" by Sara Bareilles and "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper.

It brought together choral ensembles from Great Brook, South Meadow, and ConVal Regional High School, as well as singers from Antrim Elementary, Dublin Consolidated, Francestown Elementary, Greenfield Elementary, Hancock Elementary, Peterborough Elementary, Pierce, and Temple Elementary Schools.

Thank you to the music teachers Patrick Cogan, Elisabeth Fortin, Elora Harvey, Ed Lowy, Brian Moore, Jacqueline Neilssen, and Hannah Petrick for putting together an evening of vocal music that delighted the district-wide audience.

The Temple School Study Committee met with Superintendent Dr. Ann Forrest and with Facilities Director Tim Grossi on February 25 to advance an updated proposal to reconfigure the ConVal School District.

The Temple Select Board had created the study committee to assess the future of Temple Elementary School after the town and district voters rejected a School Board proposal to close DCS, FES, Pierce, and TES last year. With Dublin and Francestown now pursuing a withdrawal from the district, the committee focused on alternative options.

Per the [published report](https://www.templenh.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif5071/f/uploads/ssc_final_report\_12052024.pdf) of the school study committee from December 2024, the Temple Plan envisions the closures of Antrim Elementary School and Peterborough Elementary School. Students would be moved to their respective middle schools, Great Brook School and South Meadow School. In turn, 7th and 8th graders currently attending Great Brook and South Meadow would be moved to ConVal High School.

In all, the proposed reorganization plan would involve the physical reassignment of 285 current 7th and 8th grade students at GBS and SMS as well as 399 elementary students currently at AES and PES. The proposed plan does not affect the 32 students currently attending Temple Elementary School.

The Temple School Studies Committee consists of Gail Cromwell (Chair), Pam Kingston (Vice-Chair), Carol Mamczak (Secretary), as well as members Michelle Cilley Foisy and Vivian Wills.
