"The Canyon School Community will nurture caring, respectful citizens who embrace lifelong learning."
We had another great week of learning here at Canyon! We thank all parents who could attend our Remembrance Day assembly. It was wonderful to have members of the Canadian Armed Forces and our local Pincher Creek Legion join us for the assembly. We enjoyed listening to our guests introduce themselves and listening to a message from Veteran Pat Walsh. We also thank students for their contributions to the assembling including artwork, writing and sharing of poems.
We have received the official total for our Terry Fox fundraising. The total for this year was $5,246.10!!!! Thank you to Mrs. Matthews for coordinating Terry Fox this year.
Canyon Grade 5/6 classes are selling beautiful Christmas greenery to raise funds towards their year end activities. The fundraiser will end this Sunday, November 10th. Please click here to order. Please order this weekend if you're looking to purchase plants to decorate your home for the holiday season. The greenery is expected to arrive on November 25th for pick-up. Thank you for your support!
This week a survey was sent to parents of Kindergarten to Grade 5 students regarding potential childcare needs if the 4 Day Week was implemented. Please take some time to complete this survey. Parents and community members are encouraged to learn about the 4 Day Week on the LRSD website here. To share your perspective on student success, staff retention and budget efficiencies, please email directly to 4dayweek@lrsd.ab.ca by the end of November. The report will be prepared in December and the Board of Trustees will be reviewing all feedback in January/February 2025 to determine if we will be moving forward with the 4 Day Week in the upcoming school year.
Huge thank you to Lindsey and Vanessa for distributing perogies and sausages last Wednesday. It was a chilly day and we appreciate their time and efforts, especially out in the cold. Thank you to all parents who were able to support this fundraiser to benefit our students.
