Here’s a special “Thank You” from The Mill…..Matthew Kroll and Dylan Kellman showed KINDNESS for cutting out the tree decorations for the lower school art program.

Time Capsule Reveal
Join Us TODAY, November 26!

Did you know that a time capsule was sealed in the entrance of the Richard H. Snyder Building on November 23, 1994?

On that date, Head of School, Richard H. Snyder, along with students, faculty, and staff commemorated the school’s 25th anniversary with the creation of a time capsule. That time capsule has remained cemented behind the stone pictured above for 25 years—just waiting to be revealed during Cannon School’s 50th anniversary! Curious what treasures our friends from 1994 might have left for us?

Join us at the front of the Snyder Building from 11:15 – 11:45a.m.

Anxiety Disorders are the most common mental health diagnosis in the country. An estimated 31.1% of U.S. adolescents and adults experience an anxiety disorder at some time in their lives- National Institute of Mental Health. 

Good News! Anxiety Disorders Can Be Managed! Unfortunately, many people think they are alone and that nothing can help, so they suffer in silence.
