Canyon Olympics Day 2026

Canyon Olympics Day · Friday, October 23, 2026

The one day every Canyon kid remembers forever.

On Friday, October 23, our TK through 5th grade students take to the field together, running, cheering and competing alongside their classmates. Olympics Day is one of the biggest things our Canyon families do all year, and it funds PE, art, music, drama and the enrichment that makes Canyon so special.

Every child runs. And this is the one Canyon fundraiser built for the whole family, so grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins anywhere in the country can cheer your child on and be part of the day.

Set up your child’s Olympics page

It takes about two minutes. First sign in, then look for Fundraising Campaigns and click on your child's name. If you have more than one child at Canyon, each on is listed and each one needs a page. Add a photo, write a line in your child’s words, and share it with the people who love watching them grow up.

This year’s guest OLYMPIAN

Miles Partain is joining us on the field

Miles grew up in the Pacific Palisades and started playing beach volleyball at ten years old with his brother Marcus. At fifteen he became part of the youngest pair ever to reach the main draw of an AVP event. He played at UCLA, and in 2024 he represented the United States at the Paris Olympic Games, finishing fifth in men’s beach volleyball with his partner Andy Benesh.

On October 23 our students get to meet an Olympian who grew up a few miles from this campus and started out right where they are.

How Olympics Day works

Your child gets a page

Every Canyon student has their own Olympics page. Add a photo and a sentence or two, or leave it as it is.

Share it with family

Send the link to grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. They can give from anywhere in the country.

We run together

On October 23 the whole school takes the field, grade by grade, and celebrates what we raised together.

Where every dollar goes

Olympics Day money stays at Canyon and pays for the programs our students touch every week: physical education for every grade, art, music, drama, classroom aides and smaller class sizes.

100% of every dollar raised goes directly to Canyon.

Sponsor Olympics Day

Corporate sponsorship

Local businesses and Canyon parent employers can sponsor the day and be recognized on the field and on our site.
