All students from Canyon Elementary have been involved in the Ken Garff Road to Success reading program this year. Four lucky winners were randomly picked to each receive a $50 savings bond sponsored by the Ken Garff reading program. The winners are: Caleb Pollock, Wayne Blaylock, Nathan Woodbrey and Sawyer Giles.

Maceys grocery store has the School Cents program where patrons have the opportunity to drop their grocery receipts in bins labeled for all of the elementary schools in Spanish Fork. Maceys totaled the receipts in Canyon Elementary's bin and gave a percentage to our school in the form of a donation. Maceys presented Dave Harlan, principal of Canyon Elementary, a check in the amount of $500.

Kindergarten students from Canyon Elementary have had fun, made friends, learned many new things and are now excited to move on to first grade next year!

Canyon third grade students have been earning play money from their teachers for the month of May. They could earn play dollars by turning in their homework on time, walking in the halls, following directions and working quietly in class, etc. They also lost money and had to give some of their play dollars back to their teachers if they were not following the class rules. As a culminating activity, students got to set up their own businesses and they could buy and sell their goods with the play money they had earned.

A small group of very dedicated students from Canyon Elementary participated in early morning orchestra led by orchestra teacher, Cheryl Wangsgard. As a culminating activity, they performed musical pieces they had learned for the school.
