***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.
-
You must be a Junior/Senior
-
You must have transportation
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!

Bright Star Opens Next Week!
Cannon Theater Company invites you to experience our winter musical “Bright Star”, running next week Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Feb 13-15 at 7:00pm. Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s “Bright Star” tells an uplifting tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of North Carolina in the 1920s and ‘40s. A team of 33 performers, 10 crew members, and 10 musicians (not to mention the dozens of other students, faculty, and parents who have been involved) have been working hard to bring this beautiful story to life and are excited to share it with you. Admission is free for Cannon families, faculty, staff and alumni, $10 for guests. Tickets will be sold at the door.
