The Olympics come to Canyon

Submitted by jeanette.maughan on

The original Greece city-states, plus one, came together again and held an Olympics right here at Canyon School.  The athletes were actually sixth graders who had no missing work for Term 1.  They competed in the Bob Sled Race, Ice Skating, Basketball Shoot, Discus Toss, Long Jump and Three Legged Race.  We had some fabulous Dads and Moms come help run the events.  Thank you for that!  If you want to hear more about this exciting event and to learn who won, ask a Sixth Grader.

This year the Reflections Theme was "What's Your Story?"  The PTA sponsors the Reflection Contest each year, and it is something the students have come to look forward to.  This year was no exception.  With about 150 entries, the judges had a very hard decision to make.  Congratulations to these students! Their entries will now move on to the next level.  Thanks to the PTA for helping to make our school so amazing.
