Canyon Elementary students recognize that many families need extra help this time of year.  So student council members from Canyon organized a Food Drive at the school.  All classes were invited to participate.  Their goal this year was to collect 2100 food items to donate to the local food bank.  They surpassed their goal in collecting 2105 items.

     Sixth grade students at Canyon Elementary have the opportunity to be peer reading tutors to younger students.  Once selected, they are trained to be reading tutors.  They meet with second grade students every morning before school for several weeks and tutor them in reading.  Lots of books are read and lots of new friendships are made, too.

     Second grade students at Canyon Elementary celebrated Thanskgiving with Pilgrim and Indian Days.  Students learned more about the first Thanksgiving by rotating through different stations set up in their classrooms.  Each station had a differrent activity for the students to participate in such as making Indian headresses, beaded necklaces, childrens' games and food.  Teachers and parent helpers enjoyed helping students complete the activities at each station.
