Assistant Principals Week
This week, we are proud to recognize our outstanding assistant principals for the work they do each day to support our students, staff, and campuses. Please join me in thanking Krystal Heflin, Landry Watters, Allison French, and Connor Robison for their hard work, leadership, and commitment to Canton ISD.
Student of the Week
Congratulations to Molly Meredith, a 1st grade student at Canton Elementary, for being recognized as this week’s Canton ISD Student of the Week.
Molly is the daughter of Orey and Jodi Meredith and has attended Canton ISD since Kindergarten. Her favorite subject is Math, and when she grows up, she hopes to become a teacher.
Outside of school, Molly enjoys painting and doing fun things with her mom and dad. Something interesting about Molly is that she has quite a collection of animals at home, including 21 goats, 10 chicks, 2 hamsters, 2 big chickens, 1 turtle, and 2 minnows.
According to Mrs. Wiley:
Molly truly represents Eagle Excellence! With great behavior, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic, she sets the tone each day. Always a kind friend and quick to help others, she makes CES a better place. We are so proud of her—keep soaring!
