***Upper School Students 

For those interested in working with Lower School students, this is an opportunity for you!  On April 1, Lower School will be hosting our annual Grandparents and Special Friends Day from 9:30-11:30.  While most students have a special visitor that day, not all do.  We are looking for Upper School students who could partner with students who do not have a visitor and engage in a variety of activities throughout the morning.  Activities include interactive music and dance session, makers’ challenges, classroom fun, and a photo booth memento!  Please reach out to Dean Fox (mfox@cannonschool.org) or Dean Dobbins (ddobbins@cannonschool.org) as soon as possible if you want in on this amazing opportunity!

Dear Upper School,

Starting March 1st, a recycling bin will be placed in Senior Hall. It is part of my capstone project regarding recycling plastic bottles. In the U.S., 2,500,000 plastic bottles are being used every hour, and most of them are not being recycled. This contributes to the 80% of ocean plastic coming from land-based sources.  All this plastic in the ocean is affecting wildlife, not only injuring them, but also killing them. 

This is why I ask your help to make a small contribution as a community. 

Please ONLY put plastic bottles in it, and do NOT put anything other in the bin. 

Thank you very much for your contributions.

There are bins near the science, English, math, and WL hallways. We would really appreciate your contribution! Help us stand up for this noble cause to #stopplasticwaste

 

For more information, please contact Rayyan Syed (rasyed@cannonschool.org) and Mrs. Mattsson (kmattsson@cannonschool.org). Thank you!
