Making the Most out of
your Donation
Our Current focus encompasses Math (ALEKS licensing,
Compass Learning Software, etc.) and Technology (Ipads
for the classroom and the Computer Resource Assistant
or CRA). We also provide support to other school needs
as they arise within the year. This school year, we were
able to help fund the Reading Impact for Teachers
program.
In addition to the current programs, we have also been
able to provide funding for supplies for our Science Lab.

October 19th, 2012 you're welcome to join the kids in the lower
fields as they run/jog through our recently refurbished running
track. Expect to see Jog-a-thon envelopes on October 10-12!
2. RUMMAGE SALE: This year's Rummage Sale will be on February 2nd,

VOLUNTEER’S NEEDED!

programs.
We are still in need of volunteers who have experience or are
willing to train for the following positions:
Volunteers Chair

Grant Writer
We are looking to fill these positions as soon as possible.
Additional volunteers are needed to help with the different
events.

We have gone
Green!
Starting this year, Canyon View
Elementary School, Canyon
View Foundation and PTA are
going green! Flyers and
handouts are no. Information
can now be seen via
https://peachjar.com
By doing this we will not only
help the Environment but save
the school money by
eliminating paper costs, ink,
and the wear and tear on
printing equipment. Also, 20%
of all advertising revenue from
the community will go to our
school. It will now be easier for
you to see all flyers/handouts
that are given to your child! No
more lost handouts! No more
misplaced flyers! Just go to the
website and see what’s
happening at your school.
THIS YEAR’S WINS!

Every year, we aim to provide a CRA for our school. Our
CRA maintains and trouble shoots computer problems in
our computer lab. She also assists the Kindergarten and
1st grade classes during their computer lab classes.
READING IMPACT TEACHERS: $ 7000
The Reading Impact program consists of Accredited
Teachers who are hired to help struggling students be
better reader.
ALEKS SOFTWARE LICENSES: $900
ALEKS is a research-based online math program for our 3rd5th-grade student that uses individualized assessment to
deliver a personalized learning path that will greatly help
reinforce the lessons taught in class.
