Your grade representatives will come by your advisories to collect your donations. Please don’t hesitate to ask your student council representatives if you have any questions.

As well, thank you to Animus and Humanitas advisories that donated a lot of the food for the tailgate!

Morgan Stilphen demonstrated COURAGE and TEAMWORK when she volunteered to show the whole class how to work out a review problem to help the class prepare for their test.  You did a great job explaining!

Thank you to Holly Springate for showing KINDNESS by putting out the team folders before class starts.

Maddie Woods demonstrated KINDNESS when she brought her advisory parfaits, apple streusel bake, and turtle apple pops for breakfast before class trips!

Student Council has organized a fundraiser to contribute to Organization Compassion, a charity that sends semi-trucks full of goods and supplies out to Houston and the surrounding area for relief. Our goal is to raise $1,000 per grade and if your grade reaches the goal, you will be rewarded two dress down days. This fundraising campaign will run through September 22nd. Your grade representatives will come by your advisories to collect your donations. Please don’t hesitate to ask your student council representatives if you have any questions.

Ms. Mann will be holding a Lunch and Learn information session about the North Carolina Governor’s Honors program on Monday, Sept. 18.  Any interested JUNIORS should bring your lunch to the College Counseling Room, Room 610, and you’ll learn all about the different opportunities at Governor’s Honors, what test scores you must have to qualify to apply, and what is involved in the application process through Cannon School. If you have any questions before next Monday, feel free to email Ms. Mann.
