Last Weekend of Sixth Grade!

Madison created a chalk drawing on the driveway today. This is her last weekend of Middle School and Sixth Grade. She had alot of fun at Canaan and will really miss the teachers. But she is so looking forward to the fall...she will be going to the Junior High. Unbelievable!

From the first day of school to the last
The school year has gone by so fast
We are out of school 'til summer is done
Middle School was so much fun!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is the day to remember those who have paid the price for our freedom by laying down their life for their country.

Recorder Concert

Monroe Elementary's fourth grade class had their recorder concert Thursday evening. They played several songs and we all sat patiently waiting for it to end.



The recorder, for those listening, can be a "stick your fingers in your ears" instrument but for the most part they did a great job.

Mr. Brunner, Jonathan Alder's Band Director (5th-12th grade!), was there to talk to the kids about 5th grade band. He then joined in playing "Be A Rock Star" with them, standing next to Dalton. I'm sure you can pick him out.

Loveland Castle

We took a trip to Historic Loveland Castle this weekend.

School Play

Last evening was the production of Canaan Middle School's first ever play, "Poultry in Motion", by Patrick Rainville Dorn. This play intertwines the two tales, "Chicken Little" and "The Little Red Hen" in an amusing story. Madison played the Little Red Hen. There were two performances. One during the day for the school, and the evening one for the community. The cast did a fantastic job.

Cousins

"Cousins are different beautiful flowers in the same garden."

Saturday we went to Kelley's cousins Diana and Pat's house for a family reunion in Westerville. The furthest travelers were his cousins Susan and Eddie from Oregon. It turned out to be a great day weather wise late afternoon and spending it with family was great as well.
