You may have noticed something new on the wall above the "buddy bench" at Canterbury Elementary on the west side of the building!

We are so appreciative to all of our "Founders of Fun" and are thrilled to be able to showcase the contributions made for this playground project!

We were able to raise these funds in a remarkable nine month period! With help from our playground vendor as well as our Greendale School District grounds team, we were able to make this dream a reality by the start of this school year!

THANK YOU to everyone involved with this incredible project. We are so thrilled to hear our students play, learn, and grow on this new playground equipment!!

Canterbury’s First Lego League Team, The Brainy Bunch, has been working hard to prepare to compete in all of the stages of a Lego League tournament. One task they have to accomplish is identifying a problem related to the year’s theme and coming up with an innovative solution. This year’s theme is Archeology and the team focused on keeping archeologists safer in the field. They also worked together to design, build, and code a Lego robot that can accomplish missions on this year’s game table. Great work, Panthers!

Canterbury 5K, 1st, and 2nd grade Music students have been having a wonderful time exploring the world of music through movement, rhythm, and song. Using Quaver, an engaging online music program, students have learned about steady beat, echo singing, and how to use rhythm instruments like maracas, triangles, and rhythm sticks. They also enjoyed moving with colorful scarves and listening to and learning about famous composers such as Beethoven. One recent highlight was learning Sasha, a lively children’s folk dance from Russia that encourages cooperation, rhythm, and joyful expression. Everyone is looking forward to sharing their music at the Winter Concert.
