Thank you to all of the Upper Schoolers who reached out about working with the After School Program! The response was overwhelming. We have filled the positions we needed for staff and substitutes.
You are invited to submit your work to “The Ink,” Cannon’s literary arts magazine. We are looking for poetry, prose, short fiction, essays, photography, drawings, prints, illustrations, photography, paintings, graphic design/digital artwork, multimedia work, and digital recordings of performances. Check your email for instructions, and you can find a copy of last year’s edition in any English classroom and the English office. Submission deadline is September 25.
It’s time for sign up for the Cannon Model UN team! We are so excited to start up and have some amazing opportunities this fall to help build both MUN skills and life skills such as public speaking, writing, and debate etiquette. As well, we are planning on hosting more virtual conferences this year! We are planning to start MUN meetings on Wednesday, September 9th for gold students and Wednesday, September 16th for maroon/all virtual students. We are so excited to welcome back our current club members and welcome our new club members! Please fill out this google form if you are returning or want to join!

Hi everyone!
If we haven’t met before, my name is Heidi Coppa and I started a film production club last year called Cannon Film Studios. We didn’t make anything, but I’m choosing to blame that on the pandemic. And now we are excited to get started on our first short film of the year!!
The concept- a short film made up entirely on the spot. The only plan is that I will hold auditions that will give me an idea of who is best to act in a film with this much improvisation, and then once it is cast we will coordinate a day when all of us will show up with some cameras and 2 props and we will start shooting! If you are interested in working behind the camera, your help will also be greatly appreciated as we would like to have 2 cameras operating as well as sound!
Of course, it will be mandatory to mask, sanitize, and maintain social distance because this is no covid party. Getting sick is unprofessional.
If you are interested in acting or operating equipment during the shoot, please email me at hcoppa@cannonschool.org !!
We are excited for a lot of fun, chaos, and exploration! I can’t wait for you to be a part of the process!
