The community celebrated the Greendale Marching Band's upcoming appearance at the Rose Parade with a special celebration on Saturday afternoon in the gym at GHS.

Standby for details and television broadcast information on the best way to see our students perform in the parade!

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!
Students in 1st grade at Canterbury were able to perform a Reader's Theatre of the "Three Little Pigs" for their classmates.

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.
