SPLASH BLAST 2017

Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

What do you do when you can't go to the pool?  That's the dilemma Canyon School faced.  The solution was a "Splash Blast".  The day was filled with water games at our school.  Water Kickball complete with a slip and slide to home, soccer in the sprinklers, sponge games and a slip and slide were the games.  A firetruck came and made sure everyone was wet.  Of course the day also included a picnic outside and ice cream.  It was so much fun, it might become an annual event!

American Legion Hosts Walk for Life for Fifth Graders

Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

Despite the chill in the air, our fifth graders enjoyed a day learning about and honoring our local veterans.  Each student was given a red, white or blue T-shirt and a dog tag with the name of a veteran to "walk" for.  They enjoyed a flag raising ceremony and spent 20 minutes at different stations learning from our local veterans, and learning other things.  For a more complete summary of the day, ask a fifth grader.  Thank you American Legion Post 68.

Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

Have you ever heard of learning to write through dance?  If you were at Canyon Elementary today, that's exactly what happened.  The BYU Kinnect Dance group came to school today.  The students enjoyed breakout sessions until 1:00.  After that the whole school assembled and learned about parts of a story through dance.  It was enjoyed by everyone!
