December 1, 2023
Hola familias de nuestra Escuela Canyon Meadows,
It is hard to believe that November has come to an end and we are already into our last month of the year 2023! Nature has gifted us with warm weather, which our students and teachers have enjoyed while going outside for Physical Education. This has allowed us to use the gym for Music instruction as we prepare for our Winter Concert Celebrations in December.
Remembrance Day Assembly
Our Remembrance Day Assembly on November 8 showcased powerful, heartfelt messages shared through music, poetry and reflections from our Grade 3 students who proudly led the event.
Student Learning Conferences – Nov. 23 and 24
November Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences provided the opportunity to learn more about your child's progress in learning. One more time, every homeroom had a remarkable high attendance rate demonstrating the commitment of our community to work together in partnership with our teachers to advance our students' academic and social-emotional development.
Upcoming School Events
December Concerts, Dress Rehearsals and Holiday Tour
Our students are preparing for their concerts and Holiday Tour. Attendance at the kindergarten daytime concerts and grade one to four evening performances is highly encouraged.
The theme of our Winter Concerts this year is Growing Together in Harmony. We continue to focus on filling someone's bucket and showing kindness and care at Escuela Canyon Meadows. You will notice our songs share messages of gratitude, compassion and empathy with a festive touch. Our students have been the inspiration for these bilingual pieces, most of which have been rewritten to showcase the Spanish language and culture and the theme of our concerts. Our students and teachers are very excited to share them with you.
Students and teachers in Kindergarten, Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be proud to share their Winter Concerts following the schedule below:
- Kindergarten AM concert will take place on December 5 at 10:00 am.
- Kindergarten PM concert will take place on December 12 at 2:00 pm.
- Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 concerts will take place on December 7 and 14 at 6:30 pm.
Dress rehearsals for Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 concerts will take place on December 7 or 14 at 9:00 am in the school gym. Other family members, such as grandparents, who would like to see the concerts are welcome to attend the dress rehearsals.
More details for the concerts have been shared, please click here to access the document including the link to obtain tickets to assigned seats for the evening concerts on a first come, first serve basis. We are grateful for our School Council who is generously organizing the seating assignment process.
No seats will be assigned for the AM and PM Kindergarten concerts or dress rehearsals.
Students and teachers in Grade 5 will be proud to participate in a Holiday Tour on December 19. More details will be provided to Grade 5 parents.
We are looking forward to celebrating with our community the joy of 'Growing Together in Harmony' during our spectacular Winter Concerts and Grade 5 Holiday Tour!
