LaVerne Higginson and Julie Higginson

LaVerne Higginson is a volunteer Grandma Helper in the kindergarten classes at Canyon Elementary.  Grandma Higginson recently celebrated a milestone birthday by turning 90.  The boys and girls were so excited to wish her a happy 90th birthday that they could hardly wait for her to walk through their classroom door.  Grandma Higginson brings so much love to the students and teachers she works with.  She has been volunteering as a Grandma Helper for over 13 years.  LaVerne's daughter-in-law, Julie Higginson, also works at Canyon Elementary as the school secretary.  Happy 90th Birthday, Grandma Higginson!

Fourth-grade students at Canyon Elementary have been studying the physical features of Utah. Students were given a project assignment to create their own map of Utah showing the mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, etc. They had a 'Map Walk' as a culminating activity where each students' map was on display.  Parents and students walked through the fourth-grade classes observing all of the maps.

Hi Calleen, Here are the pictures of our class making fish prints. We are learning about the continent of Asia. Many years ago fishermen in Japan would record their catch by inking the fish and pressing paper onto the fish. They could get paid by showing this record of what they had caught that day. We 'caught'  some trout at Maceys and made our own Japanese fish prints.
