We are so excited to announce that Mrs. Nybo was chosen as our Teacher of the Year. She is loved and adored by so many students and faculty members here. This is a great way to send her off on her last year of teaching. Mrs. Nybo will be retiring at the end of this school year. She is so deserving of this award. She puts so much time and effort into making her classroom a special place to be. If you happen to see Mrs. Nybo, make sure you tell her congratulations.
Our students are so lucky because, each month they get to hear our amazing principal read aloud stories that go with our monthly theme. This month our theme is "Courage". Mrs. Findlay gathers each grade level together to discuss the importance of our monthly character trait. She shares stories and even sings songs that tie together perfectly to help our students learn. This is something each grade level looks forward to!

We had the chance yesterday to award two very deserving individuals with the Crystal Apple award! Mrs. Houghton and Mrs. Hooley both work so hard to provide the best education possible to their students. Not only are they amazing teachers, but they make Salem Elementary a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. They were surprised with with so many families members there to support them! It made for a great day! We are so happy they are apart of our school!

Our 4th graders have been busy since getting back from Christmas break. They are working really hard on learning some dance moves! Mr. Condie and Mrs. Smith are doing a great job directing their students!
Our cute kindergartners are enjoying their P.E. time! They got to play reindeer games. What a fun way to celebrate it being the first day of December! You can feel the holiday spirit filling our halls today!
Right before the Thanksgiving break, our third graders spent a day at Hogwarts. They first got sorted into their houses and made matching ties with their house mates. Throughout the day they made Gringotts Wizarding Bank, went to potions class, and compare and contrasted the book to the movie. What a fun way to spend a day in third grade! Our teachers do amazing things with our students in this school! Harry Potter day is the best day to look forward to when becoming a third grader!
Our fourth graders have been busy making and creating amazing science experiments. Last week they made solar updraft towers. They noticed that when cool air goes in, it pushes the hot air up making the propellers move! The things these 4th graders are learning are amazing!
