We are installing a new backup chiller for our school.  The installers will be in the bus lot behind the gym starting TODAY after all busses have dropped off students. PLEASE USE THE SIDEWALKS to ensure everyone’s safety! Thank you for your cooperation! 

At Cannon School, we have students and faculty who represent many belief systems, such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, secular humanism, and naturalism, to name a few. While religious and non-religious worldviews differ, we want to highlight shared human values like compassion, ethics, reason, and critical thinking and their connection to our Core Values: Courage, Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Passion, and Kindness. These values unite us across belief systems. 

To do this we want to provide a physical space—a bulletin board or wall—where Upper School students can post material that educates others about belief systems and promotes interfaith understanding. Through this space, students will share their beliefs, celebrate their cultural richness, and educate the community about diverse beliefs and backgrounds.  

Please come to the first meeting of the Interfaith Wall Club and take a leadership role in making this happen!

TODAY during Office Hours 12:55
Ms. Wang’s Chinese Classroom
(World Language Hallway, first floor).

If you are interested in being a member of the Service Leadership Team, please fill out this application by Friday, April 19th.  See Mrs. Weakland with any questions.
