Salem School District -

Fifth and seventh graders are enjoying their time experimenting with the IPAD Osmo, playing Chess, working on puzzles, the mosaic poster and of course, reading, in the updated middle school library with Mrs. Perttula! 📖

Third grade classes visited 4th grade classes on Monday to listen to the 4th grade presentations about the states they researched. The goal of the fourth grade presentations was to persuade the third graders to visit their state! The third graders heard about and considered each state's interesting landforms, popular cities, influential people, and unique state symbols before casting their votes. They are ready to plan their travels after learning all of this great information! ✈️🌴

Kindergarten is preparing to transition to first grade! They started working on their addition strategies during work places, and they are doing a great job! #5KtoFirstGrade #Transition #LearningandGrowing #Salemschoofalcons

Jersey Day was a hit! Our students and staff showed their team spirit by wearing their favorite sports and team jerseys! Tomorrow is Kindness Day!💙

A huge thank you to Community State Bank for guiding our 8th graders on a financial journey last week using the MyLIFE Essentials program! Students gained an understanding of how to budget finances in real life situations - making a career choice, choosing housing, transportation, groceries, and budgeting for when "fate" throws you unexpected situations, both good and bad! #8thGrade #MyLIFE #CommunityStateBank #Community #RealLife #Finances #Budget #Salemschoolfalcons

Last week in Mrs. Bruni's class, a surgical nurse shared her passion for helping the community with our students! She taught them about the importance of hygiene and proper gear in her field, even letting Mrs. Bruni suit up in full surgical attire! We're so grateful for her dedication and for giving our students a peek into her vital role in healthcare! #CareerDay #ParentPresenters #CommunityHelpers #SecondGrade #Salemschoolfalcons
