A few weeks ago, 4th grade got the opportunity to go to a Women's basketball game at BYU and cheer on the Cougars for Kids' Day.

They got to meet Cosmo and the team, made it onto the Jumbo Tron (the highlight of the game for many) and had a great time!

Random House Childen's Book author Peggy Eddleman came to our school today for a special presentation about writing and finding your strengths and using them to better the world. She is the author of several book, her most popular being Sky Jumpers, and Sky Jumpers, The Forbidden Flats.

She even had an invention contest earlier this week, where students drew a picture of an invention they thought of. Peggy chose six winners from our 4th, 5th and 6th grades!

Annually, thousands of students will reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography and Visual Arts.

Many Canyon students chose to participate in our Reflections program this year, where the theme was "The World Would Be a Better Place If..."

Pictured are our very own Reflections finalists holding their certificates. Congratulations students!

The 5th graders in Mrs. Patrick's class have been learning all about the regions of the United States.

The cooperative group presentations were the culminating portion following learning how to do research. Each group researched a region of the United States, prepared maps, visuals, a creative way of indicating their region's name, costumes, and active listening guides to be used during presentations for recording of facts by the students. The information learned through the presentations set the stage for all further Social Studies units throughout the year.
