Cannon students collect for HeroBox

At Cannon School, all students in grades 9-12 must put in at least 40 hours of “service learning,” or volunteer time, over the course of four years in order to graduate.

Juniors Mallory Chepke and Shelby Dyl, both 17 and from Davidson, said they’ve already easily surpassed that number by helping at their churches and volunteering with area nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity and The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

 Most recently, the duo led an effort at their school for HeroBox, a two-year-old national nonprofit that “sponsors” deployed U.S. soldiers and sends moral support via customized care packages and letters.

Mara Davis interviews John and Ryan

Group

This was such a great experience.  I have been listening to Mara forever so it was really cool to meet her.  She was extremely sweet and made us feel comfortable as soon as we walked in.  A huge thanks to Will for setting this up!  And thank you Atlanta for responding – we adopted a lot of soldiers this weekend.
