Student of the Week
Congratulations to Jay Taylor, a 3rd grader in Mrs. White's class, on being named Canton ISD's Student of the Week! Jay is the son of Jeff Taylor and Adam and Jordan Gilles.
Jay has been a part of the Canton ISD family since Kindergarten, and his favorite subjects are Math and Art. Outside the classroom, Jay enjoys playing soccer, building with Legos, and exploring the world of Roblox. When it comes to his future, Jay is keeping his options open.
According to Dr. Lloyd:
"Jay is a true joy on campus. He is often observed all over campus smiling, greeting others, and being kind. Jay is such a positive presence that he was nominated by staff that doesn't even see him every day — that is how much of an impact his bright smile makes on campus!”
