Superintendent's Message

“At some point, everything’s going to go south on you… you can either accept that or you can get to work.” — Mark Watney (as portrayed by Matt Damon in The Martian)

Student of the Week

Student of the Week: Oaklee Hankins

Congratulations to Oaklee Hankins, a first grader at Canton Elementary School, on being named our Student of the Week.
 
Oaklee is the daughter of Josh and Harli Hankins. Her favorite subject is Reading, and she comes to school each day eager to learn. Outside of the classroom, Oaklee enjoys going to the store and using her own money to buy toys.
 
When she grows up, Oaklee hopes to go to college and become a teacher.
 
One fun fact about Oaklee is that her name is often spelled “Oakley,” but her name is actually Oaklee, spelled with an “ee.” She also has a brother named Crew, who prefers to be called “Bubba.”
Mrs. Wiley states:
 
“Oaklee consistently shows Eagle Excellence by always giving her best and treating others with kindness. She comes to school ready to learn, follows expectations, and listens carefully. With her positive attitude, helping heart, and bright smile, Oaklee truly makes Canton Elementary a happier place every day.”
