It is an exciting week for our Cannon Cubs in 4th grade. We are looking forward to our field trip on Tuesday to the Grapevine Water Treatment Plant. Make sure to check back for pictures and other information from the trip! Scholars are also going to get the opportunity to go on a virtual field trip later in the day. This is provided by Lockheed Martin in order to celebrate World Space Week. If you want to see what it will be about, check out this LINK. Also, don't forget that Thursday is PICTURE DAY! We look forward to everyone coming to school that day with a giant smile!

Choir Mini-Performances Scheduled
Choir practice is in full swing and Mr. Lollis has scheduled some mini-performances for the choirs at upcoming Friday assemblies. The choirs will only perform one song (2-3 minutes long) during these assemblies, but it provides a great opportunity for the choir students to sing in front of an audience and the rest of our Cannon Cubs always love to be entertained by our Cannon choirs!
Thanks to all parents who came to see the Cannon Cub Choir (3rd-5th graders) perform last week!
Ositos Choir (1st & 2nd graders) will do their mini-performance at the Friday Assembly scheduled for October 7th at 7:40 am.
Members of these choirs should plan to wear their choir shirts, jeans, and sneakers on and be at the gym no later than 7:30 am on the date of their scheduled mini-performance.
Parents are welcome to attend!
