Eagle Vision Quote of the Month

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Congratulations to our Student of the Week, Andi Kinsey. Andi, a sixth grader, is the daughter of Loni and David Kinsey. Outside of school Andi enjoys volleyball, softball, basketball, tennis, and riding horses. Her favorite subject is English/Language Arts and when she graduates she hopes to become a veterinarian or teacher. She is also active in the Leadership Team, Choir, and Art.

Mr. Rhoten, Canton Junior High Principal, says “Andi has the unique ability of making everyone around her better! She is always smiling and willing to do anything she can to contribute to CJH. Something interesting about Andi people may not know is that she enjoys shooting sports, hunting, has 4 horses, 3 dogs, and loves animals.

Recently, eight art students competed in the area VASE-Visual Arts Scholastic Event in Rowlett. There were 1,782 pieces of art competing in the event. Hannah Abney’s art was one of the pieces selected to move on to the state competition. Congratulations Hannah!

Congratulations to our TMEA All-State band students on their auditions in San Antonio. Zach Dyess was 1st chair, Bonnie Dyess 8th chair, and Avery Nicks 9th chair. Great job!
