Welcome to Copper Canyon Elementary School (CCES).

Our theme for this year is "Dream! Reach! Succeed!"

We have been focusing on helmet safety and why it is important to be safe during our Green Ribbon Weeks. Everyone received a green ribbon to wear this week. Wear it every day, receive a treat.

Isn't it exciting that we made AYP and U-PASS this year? I am so proud of everyone for their joint efforts. Is it because we have amazing teachers who are working so hard? Is it because we have professional development opportunities for teachers? Perhaps it's because we have a Theater program at our school. Is it because we have invested in our Literacy program and they do an amazing job? Is it because our children really want to have a good education and work hard? Or is it a combination of many different things?

I would like to thank everyone (Lisa Wilson, Alan LaFleur, Stephanie Wood, Cari Frazier, Sarah Mittelstaedt and others) who helped make our Beverley Taylor Sorenson Arts night so spectacular. It was absolutely wonderful! The children who performed did an amazing job as well!

Students and families enjoyed our family literacy night at Barnes and Noble, which preceded our Author's Day at school on November 13th.  A Big thanks to our Enrichment Committee (Stephanie Rich, Jayne Jensen, Jeanne Gallacher and Kristy Johansen) as well as all others who helped read Thursday evening and make the event on Friday such a success!
