Canton ISD Student of the Week
We are excited to recognize Kellan Maris, a 7th grader at Canton Junior High, as our Student of the Week! Kellan is the son of Stephen Maris, and the grandson of Ross and Mary Maris. His favorite subject is Science and he is involved in the CJH Cadets and in Art.
He enjoys Martial Arts at the Van Zandt Martial Arts Center and is a Orange Belt. He plans on helping his grandparents with their family business, Tasty Treats, at First Monday. Kellan is a devoted member of Crossroads Church and attends services each and every Wednesday and Sunday.
According to Mrs. McLeod, “ Kellan is an incredible young man who shines both in and out of the classroom. His curiosity and love for learning come alive in Science, his favorite subject. As a proud Cadet and Art student, Kellan brings both leadership and creativity to our campus. Outside of school, his dedication as an Orange Belt in Martial Arts shows discipline and focus. His heart for helping others is inspiring, especially his desire to continue supporting his family’s business at First Monday. Kellan’s strong faith and kindness make a lasting impact on those around him. We are so proud of you, Kellan! Keep #choosingtosoar and being YOU!”
