It's not too early to be thinking about Thanksgiving in Amarillo. It will be here before you know it. It's important to get a jump on things because there is so much to do, and even though it seems like you have so much time, did you notice how fast October flew by?

Canyon vs. Amarillo School Schedules

Amarillo schools are only out a few days, but Canyon has the whole week off. So if you are in that boat, you may need a bit more help than other parents. You may have family in town, you may have unlimited PTO, and that is great. If you don’t have unlimited PTO, you might need extra help.
