“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.”-Martin Luther
Canton ISD Student of the Week
We are proud to recognize Hadley Dodgen, a 4th-grade student at Canton Intermediate, as our Student of the Week! Hadley is the daughter of Lindy and Scott Dodgen and has been a proud Canton Eagle since kindergarten.
Hadley’s favorite subjects are Reading and Recess, and she’s actively involved in Cheer, Volleyball, and Basketball. Outside of school, she enjoys the same activities—and adds baking to the list! She dreams of becoming a college cheerleader for TCU after high school.
Something you might not know about Hadley: she has a sweet four-year-old sister named Hayden, and she hopes to one day enter a baking competition alongside her grandmother.
According to her teacher, Mrs. Smith, “Hadley has the biggest heart and is an example of Eagle Etiquette.” Dr. Lloyd shared that “Hadley always has a smile on her face and is such a joy to be around. She truly brightens our campus with her personality and impressive work ethic.”
