Student of the Week

Congratulations to Toni Christopher, a fourth-grade student at Canton Intermediate School, on being named our Student of the Week!
 
Toni is the daughter of Corey and Kayla Christopher and has been a proud Canton ISD student since Kindergarten. She is currently a student in Mrs. Witherspoon’s class and brings joy and positivity to campus each day.
 
Toni’s favorite subject is Art, where she truly shines. She loves expressing herself creatively and enjoys everything about art class. Outside of the classroom, Toni has aspirations of one day being involved in volleyball, and she also has a deep love for music.
 
When she grows up, Toni hopes to become an art teacher and a church singer, combining her passions for creativity and music. One fun fact about Toni is that she laughs a lot—and she’s excited to be joining her church praise team soon!
 
Dr. Lloyd shared:
“Toni is such a joy to have on campus. She is always smiling and enjoying her time at school. She has grown so much this year and even earned a Positive Office Referral earlier in the year for her reading gains. We are so proud of Toni!”
