Riley Glasgow displayed COURAGE by volunteering to clean up after another student had trashed a project and left it in the freshman hallway. When asked, Riley wasn’t sure which student left the mess, but Riley quickly cleaned the debris without be asked.

Students: TODAY at 10am, a group of students will assemble in the stadium to memorialize the lives lost one month ago at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL.   Students will read about the lives of each of these victims and then release balloons to honor their memories.  Any student or faculty member interested in participating is encouraged to do so.

Spring 2018 Driver Education Program

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a driver education program during the spring 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, April 9th – 25th (excluding April 18th) 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. 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”.

To register for the driver education class, please complete this Google Form https://goo.gl/forms/DrjXvKqTi0aoCVO33.  If you have additional questions, please email me (khulin@cannonschool.org).

The first human to tell Dean Booker the answer to the question about the meaning of life will win some nerds.

Any Model UN Members interested in the one-day CharMUN Women’s Issues Scrimmage should come see Mrs. Shaefer ASAP so she can put a roster together. This event is at Charlotte Latin on April 28 and would be a great way for younger members to gain experience. Please let Mrs. Shaefer know if you are interested so she can plan a meeting for next week. The registration deadline is March 23.

Attention All Freshmen, Sophomores & Juniors! Have you thought about applying for the Peer Support Team?
If you think you would like to help lead & serve the Cannon community in a quiet, confidential way, consider the following questions:
o Are you a good listener?
o Do people trust you with their deepest, darkest secrets?
o Are you open-minded and non-judgmental?
o Can you be empathetic without crying at the news or a Humane Society commercial?
o Are you a good friend?
If so, nominate yourself or a friend you think would be a great Peer Support Team member. There will be a mandatory informational meeting for anyone interested in finding out more or applying, Monday, March 12th during lunch in US Library Annex. Please email me and let me know if you are interested but cannot attend.

A friendly reminder….in order to keep a clean study environment, eating lunch in the library is not permitted.  Students are also asked to enjoy their lunch in the cafeteria, not in the hallway outside of the library annex.

Did you know that there are microscopic mites living on YOUR face? Demodex mites live out their entire lives in the pores of humans and other mammals. Even though humans all over the globe are hosts to these tiny hitchhikers, scientists know very little about face mites. Students in Ecology and Field Biology class explored the relationships that Demodex mites have with some of the students at Cannon School. As a part of our research, we sampled the pores of 30 volunteer students. We are excited to share the results of our experiment with you in our first edition of, “Notes from the Field.”

This Thursday March 8th we will be offering a $5 dollar dress down. The money raised will be going to an organization called Kangaroo Kids that provides medical notebooks called “pouches” to families who are facing a medical diagnosis. These pouches keep track of discharge papers, infusion info, medications, etc. Each pouch costs around $50 to assemble and $15 to mail to families. House Integritas will be collecting $5 dollars every morning during advisory.
