Mrs. Nuzman’s class is doing science experiments every Friday! We love guessing what will happen.

Do you love telling stories, writing stories, or listening to stories?! Well, we love all three at Canyon Elementary and today we had the opportunity to listen to national storyteller, Donald Davis. He kept us captivated and laughing as he shared how to hide his peas and carrots!

Canyon PTA is amazing! They sponsored Teacher Appreciation Week the last week of January. Breakfast, lunch, trail mix bar, treats, and a flashlight were all part of this wonderful week. The PTA committee decorated the faculty room and front entryway. Teachers and staff were treated to a massage. The week had a camping theme and we were definitely happy campers. We appreciate our PTA and all they do to make Canyon such a great place. 

Areas of Nebo School District have been affected by the recent storm.  Due to the extremely cold temperatures, hazardous driving conditions, and the expectation of continued snow, as of 6:15 a.m. the decision has been made to cancel school today, Monday, February 3, 2020.  We know this will be an inconvenience for many, but safety of students and employees is of utmost importance.

All extracurricular practices or activities planned for before or after school will also be cancelled.

Fifth Grade students had the opportunity to attend Biztown in Salt Lake City. Before going to Biztown, the students were taught lessons on how to run a business. Students were able to write checks, operate banks, manage restaurants, and vote for mayor. Addi Gwilliam was Mayor for the day. This program gives the students a practical application for what they learned in the classroom. Many parent volunteers helped out to make it a successful day. Below are what some students said about the day.

Officer McCoy visited Mrs. Nilson’s first-graders and explained about his job.  He showed us some of the tools he uses. He also told us how kids can help make his job a little easier by making SURE we put our scooters and bikes safely out of sight after we use them.
Thank you, Officer McCoy, for keeping us safe!!

Students celebrated 100 days of school. Some dressed up like they were one hundred years old. Granny granola was made by adding 10 items from 10 different things. Some students brought in 100 items to count. It has been an exciting day!
