Happy Halloween from Cañon's morning Critters!








CSFD's Station 13 stopped by to greet and educate our Cañon Critters on fire safety! Thank you Station 13.










A special 'thank you' to our CSFD friends at Station 13 for stopping by Cañon School as part of fire prevention month!









Cañon's 2024 Critter Crawl Fundraiser was an AMAZING success. We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our PTO who planned and prepared the fun run, to all of our parent/guardian volunteers who taught lessons and those who showed up to run with their student(s) and to i9 sports who played such a key role in making the event as fun as possible. We appreciate you all!










Our last Critter Crawl lesson focused on understanding emotions and using them as a form of encouragement. Volunteers read the book "Woohoo You're Doing Great!" by Sandra Boyton. Students then helped identify what some of the characters may have been feeling and how they could have made the character feel encouraged. A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, we could not do this without you.




Our third Critter Crawl lesson focused on movement! Students were able to mimic different animal movements, yoga poses and danced along to the hokey pokey while identiying the body parts required to make the movements. A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, we could not do this without you.




Our second Critter Crawl lesson focused on healthy strong bodies! Parent volunteers talked about all the important jobs body parts like our hearts, lungs, bones, and muscles do to help us grow strong. Students helped select different food choices that can help fuel a healthy body. A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, we could not do without you.



Our first Critter Crawl lesson focused on sportsmanship and the importance of being able to have fun even when we lose! Parent Volunteers read the book "Sally Sore Loser" and discussed ways that students can behave fairly and with respect. A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, we could not do this without you.





A big 'thank you' to our Family Awareness Network (FAN) for hosting the Mindfulness & Positivity Project this evening for our students, staff, and families!







A busy afternoon of learning for our Cañon Critters...




A very special congratulations to Carol Kleiner for her induction into the Cheyenne Mountain Hall of Fame!







A big 'thank you' to the students, families, and staff who participated in our District-wide wildland fire evacuation and reunification exercise at the Broadmoor World Arena on September 13, 2024! We also want to thank Pikes Peak OEM, CSFD, CSPD, D2, D11, and the Broadmoor for their support in planning and successful execution of our drill! Safety continues to be a top priority in D12!
