The halls of Canyon Elementary were mysteriously changed to an exceptional Art Museum on Feb. 29.  The artwork filled the walls and created a wonderland for all who attended.  We even had visitors from the Utah State Board of Education, who asked to borrow some of the pieces for display in their building in SLC.  Thanks to the PTA, who planned, hung artwork and provided refreshments for this first annual event.

Leaping, reading, pretending and having fun were all part of Canyon Elementary's celebration in honor of Dr. Seuss and Literacy.  Monday was "Leap Day", so we "Leaped into Literacy" by wearing green and participating in Musical Lilypads!  We wore crazy socks in honor of the Dr. Seuss Book "Fox in Socks" and another day was dress like a Dr. Seuss character.  A favorite tradition at Canyon Elementary is Parent's and Pastries.  Parents and students lined our halls before school started eating donuts and reading together.  The week culminated with a readathon.

Beckett proves that you don't have to be big, to be a Chess Champion.  Beckett competed in the Nebo School District Chess Tournament and came out a winner.  I've been told that this is not even his first time.  Congratulations Beckett!

You know that spring is right around the corner when.....not the groundhog.....but the Jr. High Orchestra and Bands visit Canyon Elementary.  Their purpose is twofold; to perform and to recruit.  Both assemblies were very well done.  It will be a hard decision that our sixth grade students will have to make.
