Third-grade students at Canyon Elementary celebrated their annual gingerbread house making tradition on Dec. 20, 2011.  Parents donated candies and icing for the students to use.  All of the third-grade students met in the cafeteria with teachers and parent helpers to assemble and decorate their gingerbread houses.

     Fifth-grade students from Canyon Elementary had their annual "States Fair" Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011.  Each student researched a state in the United States and then they created a display of information and facts to tell about that state.  Students and parents walked through the gym looking at all of the states on display.

All students in grades K-6 at Canyon Elementary participate in the Ken Garff Road to Success reading program. If students meet their class reading goal each month, they earn entry slips that they can put in containers by the office for a chance to win a bike. Friday, Nov. 4, 2011, Principal, Mr. Dave Harlan, pulled two names from the entry containers. Jada Bunnell and Tayxa Talbot both won bikes to pick up from the Springville Wal Mart store.
