Student of the Week

We are proud to recognize Chris Stone, a 12th grader, as our Student of the Week!

Chris has been a part of Canton ISD since Kindergarten. His favorite subject is History, and he dreams of one day becoming a train conductor. He participates in Special Olympics and enjoys hobbies such as playing Roblox, collecting Transformers, and spending time with his brothers.

An interesting fact about Chris is that he loves helping people, a quality that shines through in everything he does.

Mrs. Parker: “Chris always has a smile on his face whenever you are around him. He is polite, thoughtful, and enjoys helping others. He is a joy to be around and has a gift for making everyone smile.”

His Teachers Share: “Chris always has a positive attitude and brightens everyone’s day. He works hard and loves to learn!” “Christopher’s smile always brightens my day. He seems to smile all the time—very polite and always willing to learn!”

Congratulations, Chris!
