“The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it. Vision will ignite the fire of passion that fuels our commitment to do whatever it takes to achieve excellence. Only vision allows us to transform dreams of greatness into the reality of achievement through human action. Vision has no boundaries and knows no limits. Our vision is what we become in life.”

― Tony Dungy

Props to Noelle Rizzo for sharpening ALL the colored pencils once she was done with the assignment and others were still using them! So kind!

Courtney Nix, Sarah Leonard, Thomas Coffey, Tierney Finn, and Addie Krug all demonstrated KINDNESS towards their friend and classmate, Isa Bokas, when they attended an event she played on Friday night.

***Attention Freshmen and Sophomores, the Admission Office at Cannon needs you! We are excited to begin welcoming prospective students to spend the day on campus.   Hosts are needed to help ensure a great visit day.  Hosts are expected to take their visitor to classes, lunch, and clubs, introduce them to friends, and make them feel welcome at Cannon. Visitors will spend all or part of the day with the host.  If you’d like to host, please complete this survey. 

Students are not allowed to move cars behind the Upper School, strength and conditioning center and bus parking lot. Your cars are to be left in the student parking lot after school. This will allow space for those visiting during after school hours. Thanks for complying.

Need help with math? Everyone does. Lucky for you that every morning before school you can find the coolest teachers on campus ready, willing, and able to help you! At least two members of the Upper School Math Department will be in room 504 between 7:45 and 8:05, five days a week, answering homework questions, explaining concepts, and helping you solve all your problems…well, the math ones anyway. Your teacher isn’t there? Don’t worry! All math teachers can help with most levels of math. What a great opportunity to get to know a different teacher! For now, we won’t have Math Café during Office Hours or after school, so if before school doesn’t work for you, work with your teacher to set up an appointment or stop by the math office in room 500 next to the library, across from the elevator. We are here to help all students be successful!

Do you want to volunteer? Have you had trouble finding service hours? Look no further – Cougar House is here to help! 

What is it? 

Cougar House is an outlet to find organizations that need YOU! Our bulletin board compiles information about opportunities to serve. It was made by students for students.

Why “Cougar House”?

Unlike the House system where students compete, Cougar House represents unity through service. Everyone wins when students reach out and make a difference in their community. 

Where?

The bulletin board is next to room 501. A website is coming later this semester!
Have you had a positive experience volunteering recently? Let us know about the organization! Fill out this form or get in touch through email: aleck@cannonschool.org

***Do you want to volunteer? Have you had trouble finding service hours? Look no further – Cougar House is here to help! 

What is it? 

Cougar House is an outlet to find organizations that need YOU! Our bulletin board compiles information about opportunities to serve. It was made by students for students.

Why “Cougar House”?

Unlike the House system where students compete, Cougar House represents unity through service. Everyone wins when students reach out and make a difference in their community. 

Where?

The bulletin board is next to room 501. A website is coming later this semester!
Have you had a positive experience volunteering recently? Let us know about the organization! Fill out this form or get in touch through email: aleck@cannonschool.org

***Welcome back Cougars!  I am excited to be back another year of serving you breakfast, lunch, snacks and team meals

Couple of items of note this year

1. The Cafeteria is CLOSED 10:30am-10:45am.

This is a critical time for our staff to do final line checks, make sure our food is temping safely and logging that info and making sure we have everything out to begin lunch service right at 10:45am

It would very helpful to our team if you could refrain from entering the cafeteria during this time as they want to be able to take care of your dining needs.  However, when they do, they do stress and miss things that are needed to ensure we can serve delicious and safe food

2. As you may have noticed, there has been some price increases this year.  The best way to combat those increases and get the best value is the $7 DEAL!  Any entree, hot sandwich or deli sandwich with any 2 sides and a 12oz cup is just $7

3. We also have the $7 Soup and Salad Deal! A small bowl of salad and a bowl of soup + that 12oz cup for a beverage is also just $7

4. This Friday is “Build your own Mediterranean Bowl” These “build your own” days were so popular last year that we are looking at doing them twice as often this year

That all I have for you now. If you have any questions you can reach out to me at cevans@cannonschool.org

Thanks and Go Cougars!

– Mr. Evans
