Mrs. Olson’s class had a special treat during music this week. Mana shared two Tongan dances with his class. He even wore traditional clothing during his performance. It was so much fun to experience a different culture through music and dance. Thank you Mana!

Congratulations to our fifth grade students who participated in the Nebo District Elementary Science fair yesterday. There were a variety of well-thought out projects in the categories of chemistry, life science, earth and environmental science and consumer and product testing. Each student or group of students from Canyon decided on a problem or question and planned their science fair project about solving or answering their question. Each of our participants qualified to go on to the  regional science fair contest held at BYU.  Way to go the extra mile students! 

Congratulations to Danika Nuttall, Canyon's Teacher of the Year!  We are so lucky to work alongside her.  She is a  wonderful teacher, and is so loved!  Congratulations Danika!

Our Kindergarten students (as well as several other grades previously) celebrated their 100th day at school this year. They dressed up as if 100 years old and wrote about things they will do when they are 100 (like "be cranky," "have a purse," and "wear pink slippers," among other answers).   They also counted, sorted and made creations with 100 items. It was a fun day for sure! 

Each week classes who earn all "5s" on their planning time report cards for excellent behavior get to submit their class for a drawing. At the end of the term, one class is selected for a pizza and Cub Den party with the principal. Mrs. Larsen's class won this award for last term and they had a great time celebrating! Way to go students!

A few of our PTA parents provided yummy snacks for our teachers last Friday during their literacy training. It was a fun surprise and helped with the "munchies" throughout the day. We have an amazing and supporting PTA - THANK YOU!
