Student Council Election

Submitted by andria.lewis on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 09:50

On Friday, after a week of campaigning with posters, 20 of our sixth graders got the opportunity to give speeches to the upperclassmen at Canyon (4th, 5th and 6th graders).

They all did such a great job, and displayed impressive public speaking skills and creativity!

The upperclassmen then went to their classrooms and voted for their top 3 candidates.

Good job to all who ran for student council. Results to come!

Today, the the entire school participated in a flag-raising ceremony in honor of 9/11, now known as Patriot Day. The boy scouts at our school were able provide the colorguard for the ceremony, and they did a wonderful job. Together, students, teachers and staff  recited the pledge of allegiance, and then we all sang patriotic songs, while gathered around our country's flag.

Curriculum Night

Submitted by andria.lewis on Mon, 09/09/2013 - 08:45

Last Thursday night (August 29th) Canyon hosted a Curriculum night. This was a great opportunity for parents to learn more about what their students would be learning throughout the school year. Some grades met with their teachers, while others attended the open literacy class taught by Robin Wheatley (our new reading specialist), or the Student Success session taught by the counselor, Andria Lewis. There was a well attended PTA meeting, and treats for all!

Thanks to everyone who came out! It was a great night!
