Congratulations to Mrs. Oxborrow who received a grant from The Nebo Foundation. She received $200 to go towards an iPad for her Kindergarten classroom!
Fourth Grade did an awesome job on their Utah State Program. There was fun facts, history and great songs!
Great job fourth grade! Thanks for teaching us more about this beautiful state!
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!
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!

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!

To celebrate literacy month, Canyon held their annual Parents and Pastries event! Students got a doughnut and some milk, and read books with their parents.
It was fun to see all the moms and dads come out and read with their students! Keep up the awesome reading everyone!
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!
