📚✨ 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.

🎉 Kudos to Tom Gerdon – September Classified Employee of the Month! 🎉
Tom is a custodian at Canyon Ridge High School and a Twin Falls local! 🧹
Tom chose his career because he loves being helpful. He keeps CRHS clean, safe, and running smoothly. 💯
The word that best describes him is goofy. Tom brings a smile and a positive attitude wherever he goes. He finds inspiration in country music and off the clock, you’ll find him relaxing by the water — Fishing! 🎣
Fun fact: Tom has been to Mexico and would one day like to visit the Grand Ole Opry. 🎶
His biggest pet peeve? When someone explains something over and over again! 😅
Tom hopes to be remembered as a funny person and a hard worker. Thanks for everything you do. 👏
Principal Note:
Tom is an incredibly hard-working and reliable member of our custodial team. He takes great pride in keeping our school safe, clean, and welcoming for students, staff, and visitors. His positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond have made him well-liked and deeply appreciated throughout our building.
Thank you, Tom, for your dedication nd the example you set every day here at Canyon Ridge!
