Habitat for Humanity

Cannon Elementary STEM scholars are putting their engineering skills to work for a good cause during the holiday season!  For our annual community service project, Cannon scholars are raising money to donate to a local chapter of the charity, Habitat for Humanity.  The project is called "Homes For the Holidays".  Scholars in each grade level are designing and creating "home-themed" ornaments to be sold at this week's Holiday Choir Concert, scheduled for Thursday, December 12th.  Each grade level's theme is connected to a science or other content area that is part of their grade level curriculum.  All scholars are using the Engineering Design Process to create their ornament. Each grade level will display their ornaments on a grade level tree and ornaments will be "sold" for a suggested donation of $2.00.  All proceeds will be donated directly to Habitat for Humanity and a representative from the local office in Dallas will come to Cannon to accept the donation.  

The attached photo shows an ornament designed by Colin Jones, 4th grade.  Come check out all of the awesome creations on Thursday night and enjoy beautiful holiday music, compliments of the amazing Cannon Choirs.  The fun begins at 5:30!  See you there! 

Ice storm

Wow!  I don't know about you but I am ready for the ice to go away!  Here at my house we have a lot of ice and in fact the road to our little town has been shut down along with the major highway. 

 I'm sure the children are having fun playing it in like my own are.  Please make sure to tell them to take some pictures of them having fun in the ice.  I can't wait to see their pictures and hear their stories!  Please stay safe and warm!

(Here's 1 picture of Tatum & Levi ready to play outside!)

This Friday

At our Friday assembly we will have Daisy Troop 1416, Brownie Troop 1456, and Cub Scout Packs 300 & 777 present the flags and conduct the pledge of allegiance for us.   Also a GHS band member, is coming to play the Star Spangled Banner.   We will also have a summary read about the history of Veterans Day and why our country has set aside this day of honoring and remembering our Veterans.  We are asking that all of the 3rd graders wear a blue shirt on this day.  We will be forming a flag using all of the students in the school.
