Lead Testing of District Shows CMSD Meets Safety Standards Huge congratulations are in order for our Canonsburg Middle School Symphonic Band, which earned top awards at the recent adjudication in Hershey, Pa. The band came home with several honors: First-place Superior Concert Band Award, first-place Superior Symphonic Band Award and first-place Junior High Concert Band Overall Award! As Dr. Taranto always says: Expect the best at CMS! SADD Program Re-Established at Canon-McMillan High School Canon-McMillan High School has re-established its SADD chapter, and is cordially inviting students to join. The relaunch in large part was spearheaded by a representative of the Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission. The new club, which currently has more than 20 active members, was part of a SADD STRONG National Chapter Campaign during Alcohol Awareness Month this past April to promote and initiative called, "Is It Worth the Risk?" "Is It Worth The Risk?" included presentationes from a member of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as a person who is currently in recovery. The speakers were available afterward to answer individual questions. Then, during the week of May 14, the group helped raise awareness of a shocking statistic: That traffic accidents are the number-one cause of death for teenagers. But that's not all: That the 100 days after Memorial Day are the most dangerous of the year for teen drivers. Interested in joining? Contact Canon-McMillan High School teacher and club sponsor Ms. Susan Henderson. CANON-MAC ❘ SUMMER 2018 55
