Kate Booker demonstrated PASSION for Cannon School by allowing a new student to shadow her at the last minute.
Nicky Thompson demonstrated KINDNESS when she offered to let a visitor shadow her during Spanish class.
Grace Ankrom demonstrated KINDNESS when she brought in breakfast for a fellow adviser who had been away for a few days.
Cash McCreary showed KINDNESS when he went above and beyond to support a friend who needed it.
Eli Snodgrass showed KINDNESS when he escorted a classmate to the nurse.
DJ Nix showed KINDNESS when he helped Dean Booker remove trash from the Senior Lounge walls.
When called out for anything in life, one’s instinct can be to make excuses or to point out that other people are doing the same thing. Not so for Dillon Casey. He simply owned up and apologized to his teacher showing INTEGRITY. #realman

Hey everyone!
This year, Griffin, Mason, Heidi, and I will be starting a filmmaking club.

Please feel free to email any of us or let one of us know in person if you’re interested. This is just for us to get an idea of how many people would actively participate in the club once we start meeting.
