Today these Brownies proved that you’re never too young to start giving, as Troop 20889’s Felicity Allen and Sage Bullard brought in dozens and dozens of Girl Scout cookies to be given to our kids. What a wonderful, generous thing to do. Thank you very much!

Dear Pierce families,
We hope you have weathered this storm. We are ready to welcome students back to school tomorrow, March 17, 2023. We will have a two hour delay and will follow our usual schedule for a delay, with arrival between 10:20-10:40 AM.
Due to the continuing hazardous road conditions in many towns, there will be some significant changes to bus routes. In many cases, buses can only travel on main roads; therefore, families will need to transport their children to the identified bus pick-up/drop-off locations, which can be found below as well as on the Conval district website and social media sites. Any student who cannot be transported to school by families or to the designated bus pick-up/drop-off locations will be considered absent excused.
Bennington/Pierce Bus Stops
Bus 20 - 10:15 AM
Pick up along Rte. 202 from Ross Rd to the center of town.
Pick up along Rte. 31 to Mountain Rd
Bus 6 - 10:15 AM
Pick up along Rte. 47 from Onset to Pierce School
Please contact the bus company by phone at (603) 924-9211 for any questions regarding the routes, if you have other questions or concerns please reach out to me. We look forward to welcoming your child back to school tomorrow.
Warmest regards,
Beth Gibney
Principal

As we enter the holiday season, this principal's message will be full of thanks. I want to extend my gratitude for our community, large and small, both within the school building, the town as a whole and surrounding the Conval area. I am grateful for our staff, children and families. I am humbled whenever there are opportunities for families and the community to come together to support the children of our school; each person joins together to meet the needs and lift each other up. I am so fortunate to be part of such an amazing community. I have deep admiration for all of you.
During this holiday and everyday, I am reminded that working with people with each and every one of you is what makes my job great, and that's something for which I'm truly thankful.
I wish you all the best this Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful, relaxing holiday with friends and family.
Warmest regards,
Beth Gibney — Beth Gibney Principal
