Hello Everybody!

Happy Black History Month! Over the Summer, Alicia Equan and I (Roshni Desai) did a program called Girls Who Code where we learned the basics of coding. One of our assignments was to create a website that talks about a social issue we care about. We decided to talk about racial injustices however, over the course of the year we have edited our website so that it can be shared with the Cannon Community during Black History Month. During advisory, we would love for you to visit our website and learn more about black excellence in different professions. As well as the personal experiences of each interviewee. We will be adding a new page to the site each week of black history month so, make sure to check back on it!

Here is the Link: https://bhm-website.glitch.me

To note: the formatting for the website is not suitable for phones or tablets! We are still working on that 🙂

Message from Flik: Alright US students, the ball is in your court. Help us help you bring back a return to actual service and multiple options for your lunch choices.

 

We believe that we are just around the corner from being able to return to this, but we need you to show us that you can make the dining hall area as safe as possible

 

Over the next couple of weeks, please monitor how many people are in the service area, if there is over 20, then STAY OUT!!

 

What you can do to help this is grab your ore-order and any other items, head to the cashier and exit cafeteria as quickly as possible.  PLEASE DO NOT USE THE DINING HALL AS ANY AREA TO SOCIALIZE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

 

Also, if you are waiting in line to enter the cafeteria, please practice social distancing and maintain 6 feet apart while waiting

 

Finally, Place your pre-orders for now. We can not always guarantee we will have extra. Also pre-ordering moves lines quicker and helps with our production.

 

Help us with these simple tasks and service you prefer might just be around the corner

 

If you have any questions, please email me at cevans@cannonschool.org

Spring 2021 Driver Education Program (Virtual)

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a virtual driver education program during the spring semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/).  WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Tuesday – Monday, April 6^th – 19^th from 4:00 – 7:00, and the maximum amount of spaces available is 25.

Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.  We hope to offer another class in the fall through WatsOnWheels,but we have yet to schedule specific dates. 

After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $350 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.

***Message from Flik: Alright US students, the ball is in your court. Help us help you bring back a return to actual service and multiple options for your lunch choices.

 

We believe that we are just around the corner from being able to return to this, but we need you to show us that you can make the dining hall area as safe as possible

 

Over the next couple of weeks, please monitor how many people are in the service area, if there is over 20, then STAY OUT!!

 

What you can do to help this is grab your ore-order and any other items, head to the cashier and exit cafeteria as quickly as possible.  PLEASE DO NOT USE THE DINING HALL AS ANY AREA TO SOCIALIZE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

 

Also, if you are waiting in line to enter the cafeteria, please practice social distancing and maintain 6 feet apart while waiting

 

Finally, Place your pre-orders for now. We can not always guarantee we will have extra. Also pre-ordering moves lines quicker and helps with our production.

 

Help us with these simple tasks and service you prefer might just be around the corner

 

If you have any questions, please email me at cevans@cannonschool.org

Hello Everybody!

Happy Black History Month! Over the Summer, Alicia Equan and I (Roshni Desai) did a program called Girls Who Code where we learned the basics of coding.

During advisory, we would love for you to visit our website and learn more about black excellence in different professions. As well as the personal experiences of each interviewee. We will be adding a new page to the site each week of black history month so, make sure to check back on it!

Spring 2021 Driver Education Program (Virtual)

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a virtual driver education program during the spring semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/).  WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Tuesday – Monday, April 6^th – 19^th from 4:00 – 7:00, and the maximum amount of spaces available is 25.

Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.  We hope to offer another class in the fall through WatsOnWheels,but we have yet to schedule specific dates. 

After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $350 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.

Spring 2021 Driver Education Program (Virtual)

This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a virtual driver education program during the spring semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/).  WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $350 per student.  The classes will be held Tuesday – Monday, April 6^th – 19^th from 4:00 – 7:00, and the maximum amount of spaces available is 25.

Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.  We hope to offer another class in the fall through WatsOnWheels,but we have yet to schedule specific dates. 

After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours.

The $350 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”.

***House Integritas is hosting a GUESSING JAR activity. At the top of the spiral staircase, where all the house shelves and displays are, there are three jars filled with candy. One with Hersey Kisses, one with Reece’s Cups, and one with Air-Heads. At the end of this email, there is a link to a Google Form where you can submit your guesses. Whomever gets the answer right first (or the closest answer at the end of the contest) wins what’s inside the jar. You are free to look at each jar on their display, but please refrain from moving them from their place. This is to prevent the possibility of one being dropped and broken. The jars are glass and will, in fact, break. Also please do not open the jars to count what’s inside. That is lame and ruins the fun for everybody. Have fun and good luck. May the luckiest person win!
