2015-2016
MATTHEW E. GOSSAGE
HEAD OF SCHOOL
PARTICIPATE. To participate, we have to make the decision to forego the opportunity to do something
else, to clear mental and physical space, to move directly into the stream of an activity or organization, and to join
others with the fullest intent of being involved.
We participate in something. We participate in something with others. With participation there is engagement, and
there is a sharing.
Cannon School is a place that invites participation. The invitation comes boldly and personally because the school
literally requires participation in its equation for excellence. One of the best ways to assess the health of our culture
is to note the degree to which members of the community want to be involved.
As Cannon students progress along the continuum here, they want to become more active participants in shaping
the culture of an advisory, a classroom, a grade level, and a division. Cannon teachers have participated in building
a renewed professional development program, an approach to teaching that is much more relational, and a
curriculum that seeks to engage on a deeper level. And Cannon parents participate in a partnership with the school
that has transformed the traditional paradigm for school and family.
In 2015-2016, the Cannon community brought the level of participation in the annual support of our school to a
new record. I am so excited to announce that 82% of our parents participated in giving to the Cannon Fund this
past year. This level of participation makes a clear statement regarding involvement and engagement. On behalf of
the Cannon faculty and staff, I want to thank you.
Anne and Holt Morrison, along with Hans and Siobhan Peterson, were tireless in their respective roles as Co-
Chairs of the Cannon Fund. They began their work in August 2015 and continued to lead us through June 2016.
We are so grateful for their determined leadership. Two other people deserving recognition are Blake Evans, the
chair of our Advancement Committee and Todd Hartung, our Director of Advancement. Blake and Todd have
formed a most important partnership in working together to encourage parents, grandparents, friends, and alumni
to participate in supporting Cannon.
As we look back on this phenomenal year for our school, I hope each of you can reflect on your participation in
helping our school in its mission to nurture growth in our students. I am grateful for your willingness to be a
part of this.
Sincerely,

Cannon families and friends have also given generously to provide
us with new spaces that encourage Cannon students to show their
Cougar pride, gather together, and innovate. In 2015, we hosted
dedications for the Randy Marion Field and the Dining Hall
Expansion, and we watched students benefit from enhancements
to the Middle School, which was the final piece of the Building
Bright Futures Campaign. This year, we are thrilled about our
renovated Lower School Library—a dynamic space that is flexible
enough to accommodate multiple groups of children at once and
includes a production room, nooks for reading, a makerspace area,
and a sun porch. We are grateful this important project was made
possible thanks to budgeted funds, a grant award, and generous
support from all four of our Parents at Cannon (PAC) groups.
As always, our PAC Groups gave generously of themselves to assist
our students, teachers, and coaches throughout the year and orchestrate a first-rate PAC Golf Tournament
that is a highlight each spring. Likewise, twenty-seven Corporate Partners gave $82,600 to further encourage
and elevate the people and programs

MANY MEMBERS OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANT ROLE THEY PLAY IN BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN
TUITION AND THE ACTUAL COST OF A CANNON EDUCATION. AS
A RESULT, THEY SUPPORT THE CANNON FUND EACH AND EVERY
YEAR. THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO CONTRIBUTE OVER THE COURSE
OF FIVE CONSECUTIVE YEARS AUTOMATICALLY BECOME
MEMBERS OF THE CONSECUTIVE GIVING SOCIETY. BELOW,
KRISTIN BAKER EXPLAINS WHY HER FAMILY HAS CHOSEN TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THE CANNON FUND EVERY YEAR FOR THE
LAST SIXTEEN YEARS.
When Dr. Kristin Baker sent her daughter Leah off to her first day of kindergarten back in 1999,
Cannon School was a vastly different place. There was no Upper School, no front entrance, and the
population was about 500 students.
But there was one constant that Dr. Baker said has not changed over the course of sixteen years and two more
children at Cannon. “I knew right away that my children would be known for who they are,” she said. “I had a lot of
trust in Cannon’s focus on children because they were not only known as students, but as people.”
Dr. Baker and her husband, Dr. Scott Baker, are the parents of Leah ’13, Kelli ’15, and Michael ’17. Leah is a senior
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kelli is a sophomore at Georgetown University, and Michael
is a senior at Cannon. Three different kids, three different experiences, but one recurrent theme—“The faculty and
staff offer a community of both support and accountability,” said Dr. Baker.
Dr. Baker recalled a time when Kelli was in the Upper School and considered taking on an especially rigorous
course load. “We worked with the teachers and Deb Otey to put some contingencies into place in case it didn’t
work out, and that allowed her to take risks she may not have,” she said. With Leah, Dr. Baker remembered when
Upper School History Teacher Laura Huffman taught her a new and different way to approach her workload. “She
asked her to trust her, and if it didn’t work—they would throw that grade away.” For Michael, Dr. Baker says that in
Middle School he would come home and every night at dinner recount discussions his history class had engaged in
about current events. “There was this great passion which was ignited by his teachers,” she said.
Because her children were having such positive experiences at Cannon, it was a natural fit for the Bakers to
contribute to the Cannon Fund. “We all win when we give,” said Dr. Baker. “We keep tuition lower, we impact what
might happen for our kids and the future, it’s tax-deductible, and we allow the school to sustain and grow.”
“We are confident in the school’s management of its fiduciary responsibilities. Cannon has continually
demonstrated optimal and thoughtful use of donors’ funds.”
THE BAKER FAMILY As Dr. Baker said, “Cannon feels like home for my children.”
We thank the Bakers for supporting this home, each and every year.
