  1. Hello everyone and thanks for joining us today. Today we are bringing you episode 5 of the “Let’s Talk Canon-Mac” Podcast. Last time we had a longer break between episodes. This time, due to some slight scheduling restraints with Thanksgiving coming up, we decided to bring you our first ever Thanksgiving Podcast episode a little earlier.
  2. So today, obviously we do have some news, however we also wanted to make this episode more of a relaxed episode with more of a dialogue between us rather than a generic script. So we are going to try this out and see where it goes. Again, if you are out there listening to this and want to give us any feedback or any suggestions, please reach out to Mr. Maisner at maisnerz@cmsd.k12.pa.us, or reach out to Nick, Binni, or myself through various social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, and/or Twitter. We greatly appreciate all the feedback we get.
  3. Introduce the Episode Content: Today we will be discussing some middle school construction updates with a special guest, the recent passing of Canonsburg legend Manuel Pihakis, and some new CM National Letters Of Intent signees for athletics. Following these we will dive into some deeper topics with the recent coming and going of Veterans Day as well as a mini Thanksgiving topic.
