One of the first projects Canyons District launched after voters approved a $250 million bond in 2010 was a matter of safety. A review of District buildings revealed that Sandy Elementary was not meeting seismic code. The school, which was built in 1951, experienced a fire in 2006, but after the damaged parts were rebuilt, other areas were not brought up to code. Thanks to the bond, a seismic retrofitting for the elementary school was completed during the summer of 2011.

Lucie Chamberlain
Alta View Elementary
If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added: “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
