HEY EVERYBODY!

The CUSP is starting a series that highlights students for any extracurricular activities that haven’t received much recognition at school. If you do anything after school that has become a passion for you and you would like to share that experience with your community, email Heidi Coppa for an interview at hcoppa@cannonschool.org. Be sure to mention what your extracurricular activity is. We would love to hear about your experiences and how they have made you a better person, artist, athlete, and student.

If you don’t have any after school interests, be sure to stay tuned to hear about your peers’ accomplishments at https://www.cusponline.com/. Thank you!

Fall 2018 Driver Education Program

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a driver education program during the fall semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/).  WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Monday – Friday, November 5th- 16th in Foundation Hall from 3:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.  We hope to offer another class in the spring through WatsOnWheels, but we have yet to schedule specific dates.

After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $350 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.

Sane’ Davis demonstrated INTEGRITY and KINDNESS when she alerted a classmate that he had dropped his wallet as he was preparing to leave campus.

Maddie Johnson, Akshi Kumar, Emily Aldous, Greta Gruber, Izzie Ortiz, Will Carey, Lily Klett, Kaylin Slattery, Amelia Wyatt, Chrissy Stamey, Reah Syed, and Sarah Kate Edwards and Sarah Kuo demonstrated TEAMWORK and KINDNESS when they gave up part of their drop period to talk with new students about helpful tips to be successful in the Upper School. Thank you so much!

Ellen Weinstock shows TEAMWORK by being ready to help her freshman advisory members by reminding them of special events every day. She is always helpful to new members of the Cannon family!

Josie Thillet showed TEAMWORK when she guided her class on vocabulary review while her teacher had to solve a problem in the hallway.

Thank you so much to Andrew Ayer, Mia Biehler, Harrison Burton, Clint Harris, Bailey Jones, Jack Reimer, Cole Ventura, Connor Wellman, and Amelia Wyatt for showing KINDNESS and coming out to Mr. Rogers exhibit last night. You all are the best and it was so awesome for you to come out and support!

Student Ambassador Network

The Student Ambassador Network (“SAN”) is a group of Upper School students who represent Cannon School and demonstrate Cannon’s core values in their academic, athletic and artistic pursuits, both on campus and in their communities.  All Cannon Upper School students are invited to be active Cannon student ambassadors.  To get involved all you have to do is complete the Student Ambassador Profile (an 8-10 minute Survey) so we are better informed about you and your interests!  Please complete the profile by Friday, August 31.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Weinstock,kweinstock@cannonschool.org in the Admission Office.

Want to talk to a student who has been an Ambassador, feel free to connect with one of our 2018-2019 Interns: Abigail Hedgecock, Achsah Koshy, Caroline Carr, Emily Cleveland, Ava Cooksey, Gabby Holloway, Maddie Johnson, Anna Ruth Morrison, Alex Erdin, Anna Galloway, Jack McDermott, Gabby Polsky, Ella Ruddy
