THE DAILY BULLETIN

  CANYON HIGH SCHOOL

GENERAL

The following quote is brought to you by Canyon's Leadership program to help spread encouragement and awareness during anti-bullying month: 

"Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; Until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you don't admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad in others, you will be neither successful or truly happy as we are all different." --Napoleon Hill
