โโจ Something special is brewing at North Kannapolis Elementary!
Jennifer Thayer, Exceptional Childrenโs Resource Teacher, has worked with her students (The Coffee Brew Crew) and launched a brand-new Coffee Cart, giving students hands-on opportunities to build job skills, practice communication, and spread joy across the school.
From taking orders to delivering fresh cups of coffee (with plenty of smiles), our students are gaining independence while making a real impact in our community. ๐
Weโre so proud of their hard work and canโt wait to see this grow!

Wonder fans, when you get out to Memorial Stadium this Friday night for the 95th Annual "Battle For The Bell" game, be sure to stop by the Booster Hut and pick up your copy of the 2025 Athletic Program.
The Athletic Program has been a Tradition for Kannapolis Football since 1942, and so much time and $$$ has gone toward keeping this Kannapolis Football tradition alive. So many schools have let this fall by the wayside and it really is such a shame.
Some of my fondest memories growing up with High School Football in Kannapolis was getting a program from the various schools we visited. Today that tradition seems to have been lost in the shuffle. Thanks again to the Kannapolis Boosters Club for designing another stunning cover for this year's edition. The Program's are $5.00 at the Booster Hut. Get your copy soon!! Go Wonders!! -The editor
