Dear Canyon View Families,
With 2016 quickly approaching, we want to congratulate all of our students for the effort they have put into becoming life-long learners this semester. We also want to thank all of our parents and families for your unwavering commitment to making Canyon View Elementary an enriching place for children. The first semester has been filled with exciting and engaging units of study, and countless memories have been formed along the way. The skills and knowledge that students are acquiring, and the relationships that students are forming with their teachers and fellow classmates will last a lifetime, and the best is yet to come!
We want to thank all of our CV families for supporting our Adopt-A-Family Project. Under the leadership of our Student Advisory Board (SAB), we were able to support 18 Tucson families who are in need. This student-led project was a meaningful way to teach the Six Pillars of Character (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, Citizenship) to our students, and we hope that they see the value in taking on these types of special projects. With the support from our school community, our collective efforts have made a lasting impact on these families during the holiday season and we could not have done it without all of you. Thank you!
This past Tuesday, we held our annual Canyon View Spelling Bee. We want to recognize and congratulate all of the students who participated in this year’s Spelling Bee Club! A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Pickett and Mrs. Henderson for supporting our students throughout the first semester, and a special thank you goes out to Mrs. Carrie Clancy and Mrs. June Olsen for dedicating their time and energy to lead our group of young spellers. You all have made this year’s Spelling Bee Club a memorable experience for our students, thank you! Our individual award winners are:
Second Grade Champion: Stephen H.
Third Grade Champion: Dawson S.
Fourth Grade Champion: Toshi E.
Fifth Grade Champions: Sydney D.
School-wide Champion: Dawson S.
School-wide 2nd Place: Ravindu V.
School-wide Honorable Mention: Tyler A.
Finally, on Monday, January 12 at 2 p.m., Canyon View will be hosting our first open house for prospective open enrollment families. If you know of any families who are interested in learning more about what Canyon View has to offer their children, then please pass this important information along to them.
Have a fun and safe Winter Break and a happy New Year!
Sincerely,
