Hats off to Canyons’ volunteers. In the 2013-2014 school year, the District welcomed 12,284 registered volunteers  — or more than one volunteer for every three students districtwide. These men and women generously donated 284,800 hours of service — an average of 23 service hours per person — to the students of Canyons district, be it in helping them learn to read, building stage sets for the school play, or chaperoning school events. 

The District’s third annual Volunteer Appreciation Week is Sept. 15-1, 2014. In addition to local school recognitions, Canyons volunteers have been invited to a Board of Education reception and recognitions event on Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Canyons Support Services Center, 9361 S. 300 East (southeast entrance).

To the parents, grandparents, community members and local businesses who signed up to lend a hand: We salute you.
