Student Council is excited to host the 2nd annual March Madness Basketball Tournament for 4th-6th grade students! Students created their own 4 member team and will play in 3 v 3, half court games during the tournament.

22 total teams are in the tournament. The goal is for each team to play 3 round robin games that lead into a single elimination tournament (weather may limit the round robin games). All games take place at lunch time.

Thank you to Student Council (scorekeeping), Mrs. Rose and Mr. Lofink (referring) for their support! Thank you to Arrequin Family for supplying pennies and scoreboards.

Students had a great time engaged with Legos, Slime, Horticulture, and Fitness! Thank you to Canyon HS for hosting!

Thank you to our Picture Day Parent Coordinators and PSS Imaging for all you support making Spring Pictures a success!

Thanks to Dad's Club for putting together the new tricycles for our TK class!

On Thursday, March 16th, NC Yearbook coordinators will take sibling photos for the yearbook. Students are expected to wear NC uniform on this day (not a free dress day).

Photo will be taken at lunch at the upper grade handball court. Parents will help organize siblings together.

Hello Nohl Canyon Families,

Our roadrunners are amazing readers! With that said, several library books have succumbed to excessive wear and tear. You can help us out by visiting Nohl Canyon Library's Amazon Wishlist here: https://bit.ly/425YHnB

Students that purchase a book from the wishlist will receive a 3D Printed item of their choice (one print per book, styles/colors will vary).

Thank you for your consideration,

Ms. April

Nohl Canyon Librarian

Report cards will be available on AERIES after March 14th!
