(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school, that goes by the best of the best, is the most popular of the district schools my step son and my daughter went here and I wanna give all the support I can to these babies not only mine but every single student in the building because I think that Canton elementary school is the best of the best, but when I left the graduation I knew that those babies were the Best of the Best. I knew that the children of Canton elementary school need more than a pizza party. They need a summer dance on Monday and they need a another round of applause. Thank You for your love and support of these brilliant babies. I think your school beat all of the other schools. Thank you for teaching these kids.
