Hey Everybody!

For my capstone, I am trying to recruit volunteers to help with Special Olympics, this coming spring. Special Olympics has always been an important part of my life; I started to help volunteer when I was in 5th grade with family friends and I have continued to go each year after that. It’s a special experience that I would love to share with our community, so I am looking for 20 volunteers to go with me! We will be going on April 9, which is a half-day. Since we will be missing actual school, we still have expectations for everyone interested in going.

1. You must be a Junior/Senior

2. You must have transportation

3. You must stay with your buddy until the games are over (around 1 pm), whether that be in the Olympic village, eating lunch (volunteers receive a free lunch), or walking around. If your buddy chooses to leave, we will find you another way to help.

4. Special Olympics has set a strict number of people we may bring, so please don’t sign up if you are worried that you may need to cancel or go out of town. *You must be committed to going!

5. Remember, this day is special for them, not you!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out this form and we will get back to you with a parent permission slip. *You have until March 6 to answer the form.* Please be concise with your answers: https://forms.gle/rmqmq1hb8GgdHgMD9

***For my senior capstone project, I am hosting a 5K race at Cannon School on April 4th to raise money for an organization that I have been working with over the past two years and is very close to my heart: Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This organization raises money to fund research grants for the top seven pediatric cancer centers in the country in order to create less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer. Most of the cancer treatments currently available for children have very harmful side effects that cause long term damage, so this organization is working to help develop treatments that are more effective and less harmful. I have been running on the Varsity Cross Country and Track teams here at Cannon for the past four years, and I wanted to combine this passion that I have for running with a way to support this amazing organization. It would mean the world to me to have your support, whether you would like to participate or donate. The link to sign up or donate is https://my.beagoodcookie.org/TakeABite5k.

From Sadie Miller:  Hi everyone! We are having a drive for the Concord Women’s Shelter, and would love donations of gently used clothing, feminine hygiene products, and paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, Etc.) It’s a great opportunity to clean out your closet and give your old clothes to a good cause, Bins are in the Atrium!

Hey Everyone!

For my capstone, I’m getting people together to make homework kits, stem kits, and sight word cards for Classroom Central, an organization that provides school supplies and wellness supplies to children in needs-based schools. I have volunteered with Classroom Central for about a year now, and it is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart.

This will be on March 4^th right after school in the library annex until 4:30. All of the supplies will be provided (and there will be snacks :))  I’d love to have you there! If you have any questions, feel free to email me vmaheswaran@cannonschool.org

Thanks!

Hey Everybody!

For my capstone, I am trying to recruit volunteers to help with Special Olympics, this coming spring. Special Olympics has always been an important part of my life; I started to help volunteer when I was in 5th grade with family friends and I have continued to go each year after that. It’s a special experience that I would love to share with our community, so I am looking for 20 volunteers to go with me! We will be going on April 9, which is a half-day. Since we will be missing actual school, we still have expectations for everyone interested in going.

1. You must be a Junior/Senior

2. You must have transportation

3. You must stay with your buddy until the games are over (around 1 pm), whether that be in the Olympic village, eating lunch (volunteers receive a free lunch), or walking around. If your buddy chooses to leave, we will find you another way to help.

4. Special Olympics has set a strict number of people we may bring, so please don’t sign up if you are worried that you may need to cancel or go out of town. *You must be committed to going!

5. Remember, this day is special for them, not you!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out this form and we will get back to you with a parent permission slip. *You have until March 6 to answer the form.* Please be concise with your answers: https://forms.gle/rmqmq1hb8GgdHgMD9

Thanks!
