Dear Canyon Ridge Family,
At this time of year, as we take time to pause and give thanks for the gifts in our lives, we have much to be thankful for at Canyon Ridge.
First among those, is our remarkable learners. The staff at Canyon Ridge is truly enriched by our daily interactions, relationships and the opportunity to touch lives through 21st century education. Canyon Ridge learners have embraced these opportunities from day one and have immersed themselves in learning, being fully committed to individual and collective growth and success. Due to our learners’ efforts and achievement, Canyon Ridge continues to be Excelling. To celebrate and recognize all our students we will be holding a We’re Thankful for our Students! cookout and picnic during lunch on Wednesday, November 25. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be grilled outside. This special lunch will be served for our regular lunch prices and all students regardless of whether they purchase a lunch or not, will receive a free ice cream dessert.
We would also like to thank our first class staff. Our teachers and professional staff are truly lead learners and models, as they continue to learn and refine instructional strategies aligned with our school vision. This continued pursuit of learning and excellence is the reason why we are able to provide 21st century learning experiences deep in rigor, relevance, technology integration and in depth conceptual understandings which will provide our learners with the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful throughout their lives. Our support staff; the front office, nurse, instructional assistants, crossing guards, cafeteria, maintenance and transportation are all vital and are the foundation for our success.
Finally we would like to thank our parent community. Our community has been active and engaged in the learning process, supporting and partnering with the teachers to provide essential developmental assets each child needs for success. Our PTA and Site Council provide leadership in cultivating our community connectedness, making the Canyon Ridge learning community vibrant.
Please be sure to extend your gratitude to each of those whose contributions make Canyon Ridge extraordinary. On behalf of our entire staff, we wish all our families a heartfelt Thanksgiving filled with future memories.
Best regards,
Kevin West April Castillo
