Tuesday (April 24) during lunch in the Library Annex I will be presenting my capstone! I will be talking about/showing how social media is negatively affecting our self-esteem and how the perfection shown to us as we’re scrolling through Instagram isn’t realistic. I promise it’s an interesting topic and won’t be boring.
This won’t be a lecture about how social media is bad or ruining our lives or anything, it will just be an awareness-bringing presentation. We will cover:FaceTune editing, Posing, Lighting, Social pressures, and more! Bring your lunch and your friends! Hope to see you all there, Emma Bentley-Gottel
April 24th, Foundation Hall, Lunch & Learn: Colleges in our Backyard – Myth Busting what it is Like to go to College in the Greater Charlotte Area. Cannon Alums, Kendal Thomas ’15 and Sam Norvell ’17 will share their experience of attending college at Davidson and UNCC. Do parents really stop by all the time? Is there anything new or fun to do in Charlotte? Are these Charlotte area colleges just “bigger Cannons”? Students should bring their lunch to Foundation Hall to hear to hear from these experienced alums!
ATTENTION FRESHMEN: Need Volunteer Hours? Interested in learning more about College? WE NEED YOUR HELP! The College Counseling Office seeks volunteers to help with the 2nd Annual College Case Studies program on Sunday, April 29 hosted at Cannon School. This is a great way to get some service hours. BONUS!! We invite you to attend the College Fair from 3-4 pm if you volunteer to help (an event normally reserved for 10th and 11th grades only).
Click here to volunteer for one or more shifts! Please let Ms. Mann know if you have any questions.
