***Update from Flik:

 

One simple task, is all we are asking from US students as we continue to advance our options in the dining hall.  We are just asking that you sanitize your hands upon entering and again after exiting the dining hall.  

As you have seen, we have opened up A-La-Carte service of the daily menu as well as adding  an alternative menu option and pre-made gran and go salads.  We have also unlocked the drink beverage coolers and ice cream cooler for self serve. This is where sanitizing your hands becomes an important task.  Additionally, we offer a one-time use disposable glove for those that prefer not to touch a high traffic door handle.  

So SANITIZE! SANITIZE! SANITIZE!

Additionally, we are about 2 weeks away from opening a modified version of our deli

As always if you have any questions feel free to ask

Kindly

Mr. Evans


***Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors!!

 

Are you interested in being a class representative on next year’s Student Council?  Please record a short speech (2 minutes maximum) and send it to Ms. Harley at sharley@cannonschool.org.  Speeches are due by 3 pm on March 24th. Elections will be held during Student Life on March 25th.


 


One year ago, we left for Spring Break and were unsure of if we would return to campus. Fast-forwarding to today, we have learned a lot about ourselves; what we value, what is comforting, frustrating, and even limiting.  

Join the IM FINE Club in the quad on Tuesday, 3/23 from 12:30pm-1:15pm to write down things you want to “LET GO” of from this past year and identify things you want to “LET IN” in as you move forward. Our rainy day location will move to the hallway outside of Foundation Hall.

For those who are remote or will be unable to make it, please use this google form to engage in the exercise: Let Go, Let In Remote Link


Hey everyone! Hannah Mierzwa and I are seniors this year and have both been a part of several sports teams at Cannon. These teams usually don’t have a lot of spectators and we wanted to make them more well-known and watched. For our capstone, we will be highlighting a different girls’ team for each week of March!

This week is softball! One member of the softball team told us that the defining part of their team is their team culture, and how they make sure every member of the team feels valued and important. They have many outstanding players who contribute a lot to their games and team culture. At their last game, Gabby Polsky had 4 doubles and 4 runs and Brie Biddle had 2 RBIs! Way to go softball! 

In part of supporting their team, we want everyone to go watch their next game on Wednesday, March 10th at 4:30! Some fans can even be in person which is super exciting! However, if you can’t make it in-person or capacity is full, support them on Local Live as well!

Thank you!

****Beginning TODAY, Flik will again offer a-la-carte purchases

We will offer the same menu that is on the pre-order as well as an additional option that is not on the menu

We will also have salads available for grab and go while they last

As we move back towards a more normal service, I want to remind you that pre-ordering is still the fastest way to get your meal, doesn’t require going through the cashier line (unless you make additional purchases) and is the best value for your dollar

Please help us maintain this level of service by continuing to practice social distancing while waiting your turn in line and by not loitering in the dining hall area

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. My email is cevans@cannonschool.org
