A couple days ago we had an assembly.  It was about a cool science museum.  A guy that worked there showed us cool science experiments!  Then after we had the assembly, we got to go together as a class and predict what was going to happen!  We got to make up our own experiments!  It was really fun, some even exploded!  The guy also taught us about how to be safe when we test new things together.  At the end he gave us a ticket for the museum.  I'm really looking forward to going there!

Canyon Elementary Students celebrated Constitution Day, September 17, by attending a flag ceremony and singing patriotic songs.  A Color Guard of over 30 scouts from our school presented the Colors of the Flag.  The newly elected Student Council then taught us about what the red, white and blue colors represent.  We joined our voices together in the Pledge of Allegiance and ended with singing the National Anthem.  We are grateful to live in the United States of America.

This year's Crystal Apple award goes to 4th grade teacher Mrs. Cook! Mrs. Cook's students absolutely love  her and when you walk into her classroom, you can tell she was born to be a teacher! Her team also loves working with her. She goes above and beyond her job duties and helps others out when they need it, with a smile on her face.

We're lucky to have Mrs. Cook in 4th grade. Congratulations!

The entire school has been participating in the Jump for Heart fundraiser, and did a great job! They earned little rubber ducks with each of their goals and Mr. Harlan agreed to dress up as a duck if they reached the school's goal of $1500.

Well, Canyon surpassed their goal and raised $1800! Mr. Harlan followed through with his promise and dressed as a duck and went around and read "Giggle Giggle Quack" to the classes. What a great sport and for a great cause!
