  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of the founding of Canyon Elementary School. This school, 
located in my district, has served and guided students on their 
educational pursuits.
  Nestled deep in the redwoods, the school is the only public K-8 
institution in the Canyon district. Built in 1918, the school was 
originally named Valle Vista School, but was later renamed as Canyon 
School and restructured into a three-classroom complex.
  Canyon promotes creativity through inspiring art and music programs. 
Each Wednesday, the school features a comprehensive visual arts program 
where students participate in Capoeira activities and learn about the 
musical arts. In addition, Canyon School encourages and supports a 
lively community by means of annual student performances.
  Canyon Elementary School's mission is to foster a lifelong 
appreciation for learning, individual academic growth, and achievement 
through artistic expression. The school is a welcoming place for 
developing the talents, strengths, and confidence of students.
  As a lifelong advocate for early childhood learning, I am grateful 
for the work that Canyon Elementary School does and the contributions 
they make to the young minds of our district. Congratulations to Canyon 
Elementary School on their successful 100 years of service to students 
and the community.
