“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to Zoie Price, an eighth grader at Canton Junior High School, on being named Canton ISD's Student of the Week!
Zoie is the daughter of James Price and has been a Canton Eagle since pre-kindergarten. Her favorite subject is reading, and she is involved in UIL and Theatre. Outside of school, Zoie enjoys attending church and spending time boating. When she grows up, she hopes to become a pediatrician.
One thing Zoie wants others to know about her is how much she enjoys making people feel loved and cared for. She shares, “I hope to one day make a difference in kids' lives.”
Mr. Robison describes Zoie as “one of the kindest students I have ever been around. She is always looking for ways to help her peers, teachers, and the campus. She is personable and always has a positive attitude and a smile.”
DISTRICT UPDATES
MIGHY CANTON BAND
Our Mighty Canton Band recently punched its ticket to the UIL State Marching Contest with an outstanding performance at the Area Marching Contest in Pine Tree! The band will perform at state on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. This marks the 18th trip to state for the Mighty Canton Band! What an incredible accomplishment for our students, directors, and everyone who supports this outstanding program!
EAGLE FOOTBALL
On Friday night your Canton Eagles made history, by completing a 10-0 undefeated season and capturing the district championship for the first time in over 20 years following a decisive victory over the previously undefeated Athens Hornets. This is only the second time the Eagles have completed the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record. Next up is the Shepherd Pirates in the Bi-District round on Friday night in Madisonville. Kickoff is 7:00 p.m.
Thursday night our 7B, 7A, and Freshman defeated the Hornets to wrap up terrific seasons for the sub-varsity teams.
