A note from the district:

The Nebo School District is celebrating National School Breakfast Week March 3-March 7. The 2014 theme for this annual event is "Take Time for School Breakfast". On Monday, Mayor Steve Leifson will join the students at Rees Elementary for breakfast and read the official proclamation to open the week's events.

4th grade held their annual Mountain Man Rendezvous!

They had fun dressing up, playing games, eating fry bread, and each of them had their own trading post of items they made or brought from home.

There were also a lot of parent helpers, so thank you all for your help!

On Friday, students celebrated the 100th day of school by doing projects and activites pertaining to the number 100.

Some activities included:

Making a 100-item art project at home (pictured)

Making and wearing 100 shaped glasses

Making a necklace with 100 fruit loops

Getting up and moving with 100 jumping jacks, 100 steps, and more!

Happy 100th day of school to Canyon!

We had lots of winners for our Road to Success reading program! Some won gift certificates to Costa Vida and Cafe Rio, others won yo-yo's and notebooks, and the grand prize winner won a scooter from Walmart!

Keep reading so that you can win next time. Great job students!

Mrs. Jesperson (formerly Miss Sederholm) is another one of our amazing third grade teachers! Here are some facts you may or may not have known about her:

I grew up in a small town in Arkansas

I am the third child of six children. I have two older brothers, two younger brothers, and a little sister. My parents and two youngest siblings live in Denmark (where she also recently got married).

I will graduate from BYU this upcoming June. This is my first year teaching!

My favorite food is either homemade chicken noodle soup, macaroni and cheese, or bbq chicken.

Danika Nuttall teaches third grade. When you ask her students to talk about what they like about their teacher, their eyes light up. They say things like, "she really cares about us," "she is kind and sweet," "she is the best math teacher ever." She takes the time to care for and help each individual student. When they are struggling, she works with them until the problem is solved. She is an amazing and generous teacher. She is very dedicated.

Each team of teachers built a gingerbread house and the judging was completely up to the students.

The winning team was......the 4th grade/Counseling team with the Aloha beach house!

It was so fun to see the creativity from the teachers, and the students loved being able to judge!

Mrs. Humphrey's art classes decorated and wrote letters and then sent them to the troops for Christmas. What a great way to give back. Great job students!

Our very own Nicole Clayson won with her dance routine at the District level, and her dance entry will be going on to regions! Way to go Nicole!

5th grade students had the opportunity to learn and present information about one of the 50 states at this year's State Fair. They did a great job, and they became experts on their chosen state!
