It's hard to believe that most of these 6th grade students have been playing a string instrument less than a year.  The Orchestra Concert held at Canyon Elementary was truly inspiring.  For the past year these students have been coming early to school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to learn from Mrs. Wangsgard.  It has paid off.  They sound amazing! 

It was so much fun painting with colored shaving cream.  When you can learn something and have fun, that's called success.

Today we had to say good bye to Mr. Ross, the world's greatest custodian!  He will be taking a new job at the District Office.  We will miss him very much.  At an assembly, the students said their farewells and got to meet the new custodian, Miss Green.  We are excited to have her join the Canyon Cougars.

The sixth graders have been learning about WWII in Social Studies.  As a tribute to Gail Halversen, they told the story of the Candy Bomber to their reading buddies and then "candy bombed" them.  Thanks to Mr. Ross who actually dropped the parachutes.

It's a  momentuous day when Kindergarten Kids get to eat school lunch for the first time. To make things even better.... it was a PIZZA Day.  Now that they have practiced, it won't be nearly so scary next year when they are in first grade.

Summer will be here before you know it.  There will be no excuse for boredom with the "Play Unplugged" and "Library Fun" programs sponsored by Spanish Fork City.  The students at Canyon Elementary School recently learned all about these two great programs.  If you want more information contact the city :)

If you were standing outside Canyon Elementary the other night, you would have heard some Broadway tunes coming from the gym. These 4-6 graders have worked hard preparing for this concert and it paid off.  The audience will be humming those tunes for weeks to come.  Thanks for a great concert!  We'll look forward to many more to come.

Have you ever dropped an egg off a school and hoped it wouldn't break?  That's egg-xactly what the Kindergarteners did!  It was windy that morning, which added to the excitement.  If you find yourself in the situation of needing to know how to protect a little egg, just ask a kindergartner.  They know what works and what doesn't!

The Living Planet Aquarium Outreach program visited the second grade classes today.  They learned about continents, the rainforest, and were even introduced to some of the animals that dwell there.
