Hi everybody, My name is Patrick Dodds. For My capstone, I am hosting a student short film festival on this Saturday (March 30) from 6-8 pm.  We will be showing a multitude of short films from creators at cannon and other schools. There will be popcorn. Lots and lots of popcorn. Please come out to support some very talented artists, and to have a great time watching great art.Welcome back from Spring Break everyone!


Did you know that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish by weight?! I hope that this, along with some fun service hours, grabs your attention!
I would like to invite anyone interested or wanting to get some extra service hours by coming with me (Liselotte) for a clean-up to support our earth AND my capstone! My capstone has everything to do with plastic pollution in our environment, and I think that it will be a lot of fun to pick up plastic debris with cookies, food, & friends.
The dates & times are:
March 31 –> 9-10:30am (@ the creek behind school)
April 7 –> 9-10:30 am
April 14 –> 9-10:30 am
I will also have some prizes at the end to help you out with your green thumb! 😉
If you are interested, please email me by THIS FRIDAY at: lstratman@cannonschool.org for more information on where to park, what to bring, etc.

As Summer Break draws nearer and nearer, one of our favorite activities is traveling. In fact, my Capstone is associated with my interest in travel through the experiences I had when I went to Ghana in 2014. Next week from April 1st until April 5th, I will be hosting a coin drive on campus as an advisory competition. In each advisory, there will be a jar where I will be accepting spare change (as well as cash if you would like). Whichever advisory donates the most money will receive FREE ADVISORY BREAKFAST.

The money will be given to a Ghanaian college student named Samuel Segla. He is starting a motivational speaking business in Ghana meant to inspire high school and college student. The funds that are raised will go towards the production of a website so he can more easily communicate with schools all across Ghana

If you have any more questions about my Capstone or Samuel Segla, feel free to e-mail me.

Hello fellow cougars,

My name is Andrew Aldous. I’m a senior and I am hosting a book drive for my capstone. The book drive is to support my Eagle Project which were free community libraries at 3 public elementary schools.

I am in need of book donations for children 4-11 years old. The drive will be from March 25th to April 5th. There will be 3 donation bins setup and clearly marked around the school.  So clean out any old book shelves you have and I look forward to your support.


Hey everyone! I’m Angel Brown and for my Capstone, I am organizing a Spoken Word Showcase on Tuesday, March 26 in the CPAC at 7 pm. The cost of admission is $5 for Cannon students and for other guests, a donation of any amount. All the money raised will go to the World Literacy Foundation to buy books and provide tutoring and literacy resources for children in need all around the world. Please come out to see your talented classmates and a few of my friends perform for a cause.


For our biorex, we are doing three small experiments on dogs to determine if they are left or right-pawed. The experiments will be putting tape on their nose, retrieving a treat from a kong/dog toy, and placing a treat under a chair for them to get. If you would like to volunteer your dog, we will be meeting on April 7th at 11am in front of the softball field (right next to sophomore parking). The treats provided will be free of most common dog allergies. If you are able to come, please fill out this form to make it a quicker and easier process for both you and for us!!

Please come out to see your talented classmates and a few of my friends perform for a cause.

“Maddie Johnson and Stephanie Grissom are looking for volunteers for their biorex project! Please only fill out the form if you can commit to all three dates:
3/26
4/2
4/9
We will only need the first ten minutes of your lunch! So please refrain from bringing food! If you show up, you will be taking a very short multiplication test in the testing center! All three days will be under different conditions (listening to different music selections)! There will be candy if you volunteer! We would really appreciate your help! Our goal is to have at least 15 volunteers!”
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Grissom and Maddie Johnson

Gabe Cox demonstrated TEAMWORK and KINDNESS when he helped JoeTro set up Foundation Hall for a grade level meeting. Thanks Gabe!

THANK YOU to Hannah Rosa, Kate Nelson, Brook Wesselmann, Matthew Leonard, Gabby Polsky, Gabby Holloway, Maddie Johnson, Abigail Hedgecock and Ella Ruddy for sharing your PASSION and Cougar Pride at the Accepted Student Celebration!!!  Your enthusiasm and engagement with prospective students and families was AMAZING!!


Dear Cannon Community

As I reflect on my life thus far, this Cannon School Community and my time on the track team have been the most influential aspects of my life. What better way to end my time as a lifer at Cannon then participating in a community run with the people that have been beside me from the start.

Exactly one year ago my grandmother passed away after a courageous battle with Scleroderma, and one of the things she enjoyed the most was watching me run. Through this run I hope to raise awareness for Scleroderma, a terrible autoimmune condition, and raise money to hopefully find a cure for the disease that my Nana lived with for almost 25 years.

Come out to our brand new track on April 3rd at 4:00pm and run a mile as fast as you can!! Whether you want to try for a new lifetime best or just experience what it is like to race a mile it is sure to be a great time!!

All donations will go to the scleroderma foundation, suggested donation $10.00,  and you will walk away with hopefully a new personal best in the mile!! The winner will also receive a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, donated by our event sponsor, University Eye Associates!

Please consider coming out and “Running Hard for a Scleroderma Cure!” 

If you can attend please let me know as I would like to give our timer, aka Coach Campbell a head count the week before the event.
