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!

Thanks to all the parents and students who contributed to our annual Box Top fundraiser!

Here are the grade level winners:

K: Money, 1st: Snell, 2nd: Marsh, 3rd: Brindley, 4th: Perkins, 5th: Nielsen, 6th: Nuzman

Total box tops brought in for entire school year: 15,514

Great job everyone!

And a special thank you to Cora Barrett and Karen Ferrara from the PTA who helped organize, promote, cut and count the boxtops. It was a lot of work!

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:
