Canon-Mac Spotlight: Recognizing CM Community Members Who Go ABOVE AND BEYOND We're putting a spotlight on the people who have been honored or gone above and beyond in—and for— the Canon-McMillan School District community. Congratulations to the following WACTC students for representing their programs at the SkillsUSA competition this past December: Roman W. Quinn who earned second place in Auto Mechanics and Michael Szewczyk, who was awarded third place in Automation & Robotics Engineering. Congratulations are in order for: Brianna Stonemark, a Cecil Intermediate 5th grader, who was selected as one of 12 winners of the Pennsylvania Attorneys General's Drug-Free calendar contest. Not only were her designs displayed on a calendar on display across the state, she also won $529 for the PA 529 College Savings Program. She also attended a luncheon at the state Capitol. Caley Camus, a Cecil Intermediate 6th grader, who was slected by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation as one of 10 students in western Pennsylvania to have her design on one of the Pittsburgh Penguins' holiday cards. Allison Paxton, a Canon-McMillan High School Senior, who was awarded the Presidential Scholarship at Bethany College—a full-tuition scholarship. Reggie Hale, who works in the district business office, for being granted a Certificate of Enhanced Qualifications in Information Technology from the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials (PASBO). In order to be granted a PASBO Certificate of Enhanced Qualification, a school business official must demonstrate a high level of competency in the profession by successfully completing a series of courses in a specialized area of school business leadership. The Canonsburg Middle School MathCounts Team and sponsor Ms. Jamie Iesue—the four-person team earned second-place in the local competition this past February. Lauren Bizich, who was awarded a $500 grant from the Washington County Retired Teachers Association to be used in the Canonsburg Middle School for an interactive light up mural. Drew Engel, Canon-McMillan High School senior, for being featured in the Observer-Reporter for all of his contributions as a student, athlete, and for all of his efforts in serving the community. CMS Dodgeball  Tourney Supports Canonsburg Food Bank For the 10th year, Canonsburg Middle School students used pump fakes, deflections, and other dodgeball moves to help raise money for a great cause: The Canonsburg Food Bank.  This year, CMS seventh- and eight-graders raised $1,000 for the nonprofit group through its 10th annual Charity Dodgeball Tournament and Food Bank Raffle.   That means that over the past 10 years, our middle school students have raised $10,500 for the Canonsburg Food Bank on Pike Street.    Way to go, everyone! 58 CANON-MAC
