Stock the Lounge to Support Our Teachers

8/24/2026 11:17 pm

Our teachers give so much to Cannon students—including from their own wallets. A 2025 national teacher survey from AdoptAClassroom.org found that teachers spent an average of $895 out of pocket on school supplies during the 2024–25 school year. That figure has climbed 49% since 2015, while 97% of surveyed teachers said their school-provided classroom budget was not enough to cover their needs.

Stock the Lounge is one small, practical way Cannon families can show our appreciation. By contributing drinks, snacks, and other lounge favorites, we can brighten a busy school day and help our teachers feel supported by the community they serve.

Each grade level will take the first Friday students are in school during its assigned month:

• 5th Grade — Friday, September 4
• 4th Grade — Friday, October 2
• 3rd Grade — Friday, November 6
• 2nd Grade — Friday, January 8
• 1st Grade — Friday, February 5
• Kinder — Friday, March 5
• Pre-K — Friday, April 2
• All Grades — Friday, May 7

Thank you for helping us stock the lounge and share a little Cannon Cub gratitude with our amazing staff.
