Student anouncement: My name is Austin Coale, I am in the 10^th grade here at Cannon School, and I am collecting goods for the Humane Society this year. I have recently volunteered there, and I realized that they needed some goods badly, after talking with someone who works there; I decided to collect goods at school.

The dates for these games are the 19^th and 22^nd of November. There will be labeled bins near the entrance to the game where people can place their donations.
