Thank you to the WSPA team for welcoming our students and giving them a firsthand look at live production!
Great job, Champions!

We loved seeing students and their families during last night's D3 Art Reception at Chapman Cultural Center. These outstanding works of art will be on display throughout the month! Great job, students!
Each month, one D3 school is recognized for having the highest student attendance rate. Cannons finished September with an impressive attendance rate of more than 95%!
In all, every D3 school had an attendance rate of at least 93% in September. Congratulations, Cannons, and all D3 schools! Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making attendance a priority!
Join us at the Clifdale Middle Gym from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm for a fun evening for our students and families!
We encourage all of our ML students and their families to attend!
Students first created drawings inspired by the arts and Cannon Elementary School's mottos in recent years, which Ms. Davis incorporated into the final design. They then spent a week painting in small groups to collaboratively bring the mural to life.
The finished concept transforms the wall into a giant sheet of paper where artwork appears to come to life in real time. Paintbrushes and colored pencils add colorful details, student-inspired doodles weave throughout, and an easel features a painting-in-progress of Cannons Elementary in the background.
Blank Canvas Mural Company hosts residencies across the state of South Carolina, and this was their first mural at Cannons Elementary. Great job, Champions!
