BOOK FAIR SUCCESS!
Our Book Fair was a huge success thanks to YOU and all the wonderful volunteers who kept it running smoothly! Because of your generosity, we have surpassed our goal, making this book fair the most successful EVER! We are so excited that after the first of the year, we will be able to purchase hundreds of brand new books to fill the shelves of our library! You have truly enriched the educational experience for every single Canyon Vista student!

OPPORTUNITIES TO GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!
This time of the year is so busy, you don’t have time to cook do you? Of course not! So Tuesday, December 14th, head over to Chipotle and Canyon Vista will get 50% of the proceeds! Don’t forget to bring your flyer! Also, Wednesday, December 15th and Thursday, December 16th, Powell’s Sweet Shoppe and Rubio’s will be donating 20% of their proceeds with your order. Rubio’s offer is good from 3 p.m. until close while Powell’s will accept your flyer all day! Make life easy on yourself and support our PTA at the same time! Check your child’s backpack for flyers for each of these events!
PARKING DURING THIS BUSY TIME!
Just a reminder that “STAFF” parking spots are just that…parking for Staff members ONLY! Please keep this in mind when visiting classrooms this week! We are experiencing several parents parking in staff spots during the busy early morning rush…please remember that teachers are arriving at the same time as students and need to be able to pull right into their parking space.
