Annual Egg Drop

Submitted by andria.lewis on

To celebrate Easter, Kindergarten participated in their Annual Egg Drop! Students put a raw egg in various containers, using any matierals they could hoping that their egg won't break! Then our brave principal, Mr. Harlan stood on the roof of the school and threw the eggs off one by one!

The kids (and parents) had so much fun and loved seeing if their egg stayed in tact or broke!

Kindergarten's Zoo Program

Submitted by andria.lewis on

Lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Also zebras, elephants, crocodiles and countless other animals performed in Kindergarten's zoo program here at Canyon. They all did such a good job performing for their parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and everyone else that came to support them. Some of the parents also joined in, and made some great monkeys!

The students learned a ton of songs, with dance moves to go along with them. They also each had their own animal with speaking parts to go along with them!

Great job Kindergarten!

radKIDS Graduation

Submitted by andria.lewis on

Congratulations to the 3rd graders for graduating from the radKIDS program! Every week for an hour, 3rd grade has been working hard on learning safety skills and physical defense skills to keep themselves safe.

They've learned that 1. No one has the right to hurt me! 2. I don't have the right to hurt anyone else unless they are trying to keep me from safety, and then I can stop them! 3. If someone does hurt me, it's not my fault and I can tell!
