November 2015

This year our school is selling cookie dough.  We had a fun assembly to kick off the fundraiser with Mrs. Larson and Mr. Stutz, along with a couple of students, participating in a no-hands, cookie eating contest.  

Salem Elementary students pay tribute to our Veterans in a Veteran's Day Assembly.   We thank our Veterans, and all the men and women who are now serving our country, for their sacrifice so that we may enjoy our freedom each and every day.

It was story time with Mr. Welburn on Friday.  The book this month was Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners, by Laurie Keller.  Students enjoyed listening to the story about a bunny who had some otter neighbors move in.  The bunny thought that because they were different, they wouldn't be nice neighbors. Throughout the story, the bunny got to know them.  In the end, he found out they were actually great people and neighbors.  

The following are lessons students said they learned from the story:

It is that time of year when the school's hallways come to life.   Coming soon....on November 12, Fifth Grade Night at the Museum.  Don't miss it!

There was excitment in the air when  Just Jumpin jump roping team performed for our school in an assembly yesterday.  With cool tricks and routines performed to some of the most popular music on radio, students were amazed and completely entertained.  

Salem Elementarty students commented: "It was thrilling!"  "It was really cool to see them do all of their tricks!" "It was the best assembly yet!" "They were really talented!"  "Their tricks were stunning!"

Trick or Treat...!!   We are so happy for these two wonderful teachers and their exciting news.

A beautiful day for a Halloween parade.  Thanks for all of those who came and lined the streets to cheer us on.
