Eagle Vision Quote of the Month
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.
“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood”. Helen Keller
Unfortunately, this week’s homecoming game with Ferris was canceled due to multiple confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the Ferris High School campus. We have moved the homecoming game to October 23rd with our matchup against Brownsboro. Our boys will be back in action next week against Hillsboro.
Student of the Week
Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Lexus Eudy. Lexus, a senior, is the daughter of Sonia Fanning. She has attended Canton High School since the 10th grade. Her favorite subject is veterinary medicine and once she gets out of school she would like to become a behavioral therapist.
Lexus is actively involved in volleyball, cross country, track, NHS, and showing lambs. Outside of school she enjoys spending time with her youth group at Old Bethel. Something people may not know about Lexus is that she has two siblings, a brother who is 19 and a sister who is 21. Her sister is married and has two kids.
Mr. Dusty Spencer, Canton High School Principal, says “Lexus is an outstanding leader on the CHS campus. She is an outstanding student and athlete. She is always promoting school spirit when she is not involved in other competitions.” Mr. Spencer also looks forward to seeing all the things she will accomplish this year and throughout her life. Congratulations Lexus!
