Two CMHS Students
Recognized by
2018 National Merit®
Scholarship Program
n recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this past
October, the Canon-McMillan High School Honor Society hosted
a fundraiser that found its members selling pink bracelets, ribbons,
tattoos and more. Students even created a Wall of Hope, which bore
the names of those affected by breast cancer.
The fundraising event was held in collaboration with the American
Cancer Society in advance of the Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer, which was held later that month at North Strabane Park.
The event at CMHS culminated in a school-wide “Pink Out” in an
effort to raise awareness in addition to funds.

in the activities.
