Don’t be scared! There’s still one more opportunity to catch Bunnies the Musical!  
We are excited for you to join us for our final performance! The lobby doors open at 1:30 PM. Tickets for this performance are sold out so we will not be selling tickets at the door. 

 While you wait, take some time to enjoy beautiful downtown Canton — stop by a local shop, grab a sweet treat at Cupcake & Co. or enjoy lunch at one of the amazing restaurants nearby. We love seeing our Cougar families support the wonderful businesses in our community! We can’t wait to see you there for one last hop down the bunny trail!

Our Junior High Student Council members are making a big impact with small acts of kindness! After organizing a successful book drive, these student leaders delivered dozens of collected books to our Highland Elementary School classrooms. Thanks to their hard work — and the generosity of our families and community — our younger students will have even more stories to spark their imaginations and grow their love of reading. We are so proud of our Highland Jr High Student Council for showing leadership, teamwork, and a commitment to giving back. Way to make a difference! Go Cougars!!
