Canyon PTA sponsored a Family Fall Carnival Oct. 18th in conjunction with Red Ribbon Week.  Students brought their family and friends back to school for an evening of great food, games, jump houses and awesome prizes.  They also had over 50 gift baskets full of valuable things that people could bid on in a silent auction.  There was a great turnout and the carnival was a huge success.

     All students at Canyon Elementary participate in the Ken Garff Road to Success Reading Program.  Students keep track of the days and number of minutes they read.  As motivation to read, Ken Garff and other local businesses, provide monthly incentives and 4 bicycles to be given away during the school year.  When Canyon students read every day, they can earn entry slips for the bicycle drawing.  To kick of the Ken Garff Reading Program, magician Paul Brewer, entertained the students with magic tricks while telling them the importance of reading every day.

Canyon Elementary students elected their new student council members for the 2010-2011 school year.
