The Canyon View Foundation's biggest fundraiser of the year is here! Our Red Envelope fundraiser is our direct give ask to help the school fund programs that are not covered by current school district budgets. What does that mean? It means programs like Art, Music, PE, and Science cannot happen if the school site cannot pay for the teacher or the supplies themselves. This is why it's a big ask! At a suggested donation of $125 per child, we can raise half the cost to continue these programs along with many others that help enrich the educational lives of our children throughout the school year. Donations can be made in person, via cash or check, or online. Visit the link below to donate now. We couldn't do it without you! (All donations are voluntary and not required to participate in any school event).

Dear Canyon View Families,

It's been another wonderful week at Canyon View! Students and staff have enjoyed showing their Red Envelope Spirit with our daily dress-up days! On Wednesday, The Westview Ambassadors delighted us with a fun assembly focused on showing RESPECT. Our foundation-funded Specials kicked off, and classes got to experience hands-on enrichment lessons in the STEAM and SCIENCE rooms.

This week, we are accepting nominations for three open parent representative seats on our School Site Council. Please scroll down for more information about this fantastic opportunity to become more involved in our school planning and programs.

Let's Make it a GREAT WEEK!

As the calendar rolls over into October, we start thinking about autumn. While subtle in San Diego, the change of season is a perfect time to recognize the wonders of nature and spend time exploring the outdoors. Here are a few picture books to inspire exploration!

Note: The Covers link to YouTube read-aloud videos, be aware that ads may pop-up!

In his first book as both author and illustrator, Kenard Pak creates a gorgeous and inviting natural world, As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows--autumn is on its way! Join a young girl as she takes a walk through forest and town, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with every flower and creature and gust of wind, she says good-bye to summer and welcomes autumn.

A sweet adventure story by author/illustrator Allison Farrell, The Hike celebrates how fun and rewarding it is to explore nature in your own backyard! Three intrepid young explorers set out to conquer the outdoors in their local forest, enjoying the process in their own different ways. Wren brings a sketchbook and a flag, El brings a poetry notebook, and Hattie brings feathers (and holds Bean the dog’s leash). They get lost and use maps to find their way. They draw wildlife, spot deer tracks, and see a deer before it startles and disappears, all before they finally and joyfully reach their destination.

Old Rock has been sitting in the same spot in the pine forest for as long as anyone can remember. Spotted Beetle, Tall Pine, and Hummingbird think just sitting there must be boring, but they are in for a wonderful surprise. Fabulous tales of adventurous travel, exotic scenery, entertaining neighbors, and more from Old Rock's life prove it has been anything but boring. In this quirky story, written and illustrated by Deb Pilutti, Old Rock's stories are sure to inspire questions that lead to wonderful conversations about the past and the natural world.
