Mrs. Moyer and Dean Holyer would like to thank Kaylee Dobbins, Ava Dovi, Parker Powell, Anya Joshi, Viola Knosby, Jacob Meadows, Turner Bruderick, Charlie Zacharelli, and Will Petrosky for their willingness to help us learn more about the transition from 8th to 9th grade at Cannon.  Their respectful and thoughtful insights were valuable and will lead to good conversations among the faculty.  Thanks for giving up your lunch to join us!

Thank you to Amara Cashwell and Penelope Conklin for demonstrating COURAGE, TEAMWORK, and KINDNESS during Spanish class by volunteering to get the objects requested by the teacher. Your actions showed not only your learning and engagement but also helped your classmates visualize, participate, and re-engage in the lesson. Thank you for your positive example!

Blair Henderson and Sophia Baise showed TEAMWORK when they helped pick up some gear after Caoch Pasut’s Leadership Lunch. Bravo!!!

Amara Cashwell, Chimmy Ndubueze, and Connor Seay demonstrated KINDNESS when they walked by and noticed that Mme. Nguyen needed help emptying paint water cups, and washing all the paint brushes after the French Club meeting. They went above and beyond and did it at the start of their drop! I so appreciated the extra hands! 🙂

Tanner Green earned a Core Value for RESPECT. While exiting the class, he pushed in several chairs and picked up after his classmates. Way to go, Tanner!
