📚✨ Compliments to Kathleen “Janell” Phipps – September Certified Employee of the Month! ✨📚
We’re proud to recognize Janell Phipps, ELA Teacher for 11th & 12th grade at Canyon Ridge High School! 🙌
Janell is originally from a tiny town in Northern North Dakota. She chose to teach because of her high school English teacher, Mrs. Marion Wolden, who not only sparked her love for reading and grammar but also helped her discover her own voice as a writer. Mrs. Marion is also her inspiration as a teacher and showed her how one teacher's belief can change a life. Today, her students inspire her through their curiosity, resilience, and unique stories.
Described in one word: evolving. 💜 Janell hopes to be remembered as a teacher who believed in her students, helped them think for themselves, and reminded them that their voices and lives truly matter.
“More important than any lesson I teach is helping students know they truly matter.”
Outside the classroom, Janell is as adventurous as she is thoughtful. Her hobbies include crocheting, hunting, and sturgeon fishing, and one of her bucket list items is to spend a month off-grid in Alaska. 🏕️🎣
Her pet peeve? When people treat swear words like punctuation.
Her best day on the job?
“Every day I get to spend with teenagers.”
Principal Note:
Janelle is a hardworking and passionate English teacher whose dedication shows in everything she does. Her classes are always full, and students consistently share how much they enjoy learning from her. Beyond her impact in the classroom, we truly appreciate her veteran leadership and the outstanding example of professionalism she sets for those around her. She inspires both students and colleagues, and we are grateful to have her at Canyon Ridge High School.

On the very first day, O’Leary’s 8th graders jumped into the year with a Find-a-Friend scavenger hunt—a fun and energetic way to reconnect with old friends and welcome new classmates.
Students roamed the football field, uncovering hidden talents, unique hobbies, and fun facts about one another. Laughter and conversation filled the air as they worked together to complete their lists and get to know one another. 📝💬💫

🧡 BTHO Week: Raising Awareness, Saving Lives 🧡
September 17–20
Next week, the JAE Foundation is leading BTHO (Beat the Heck Outta) Week, an effort to raise awareness and prevent suicide in our schools and communities.
One of our own, Garrett Glasheen, is stepping up in an extraordinary way. He’ll be running 804 ladders—one for every year each of our schools has been open—as a powerful symbol of dedication.
Garrett shared:
“Ultimately, my driving force is that every year I have been in this district, we have lost at least one student to suicide. I will not stop doing anything and everything I can until that number is zero… if teachers and staff show up and students recognize how much they mean to us, we may be able to achieve that goal someday soon.”
Garrett is encouraging others to join this powerful movement. See the flyer for details on how you can participate.
