The fourth graders enjoyed a fabulous activity to wind up their Pioneer Unit as well as the school year.  They peeled potatoes and pounded nails among other things pioneers might have done.  They participated in good old fashioned races and even danced.  The day finished up with sampling authentic Pioneer food.  Check with a fourth grader to get more details.

Parents, grandparents and friends of third graders enjoyed their End of Year Program.  They taught about the importance of being positive, kind and patriotic through song.  Thanks to their teachers for an enjoyable experience.

What do you do when you can't go to the pool?  That's the dilemma Canyon School faced.  The solution was a "Splash Blast".  The day was filled with water games at our school.  Water Kickball complete with a slip and slide to home, soccer in the sprinklers, sponge games and a slip and slide were the games.  A firetruck came and made sure everyone was wet.  Of course the day also included a picnic outside and ice cream.  It was so much fun, it might become an annual event!

The annual Faculty vs. Sixth Grade Kickball game was held recently at Canyon Elementary.  It was an intense game, but tons of fun. Scroll through these pictures to find out who was victorious.

The fourth grade incentive carnival was a hit!  Students set up carnival games or activities and others came and played.  Ask any fourth grader what their favorite activity or game was.

Congratulations to our Kindergartners!  They have graduated!  Our baby eagles are ready to SOAR!

We are celebrating!  SAGE Testing is done for the year!

Despite the chill in the air, our fifth graders enjoyed a day learning about and honoring our local veterans.  Each student was given a red, white or blue T-shirt and a dog tag with the name of a veteran to "walk" for.  They enjoyed a flag raising ceremony and spent 20 minutes at different stations learning from our local veterans, and learning other things.  For a more complete summary of the day, ask a fifth grader.  Thank you American Legion Post 68.

The third graders at Canyon Elementary have been practicing spelling words in anticipation of the annual Spelling Bee.  Today was the day!  Congratulations to the winners! (Check out the last picture....I think they're all happy!)

The first grader's have been working hard all year memorizing poems.  Today Miss Hutchings' class recited those poems for their parents.  It was very impressive!
