Christmas Assembly

Submitted by dorie.thatcher on

Salem Elementary's Christmas Assembly is a fun tradition that is always much anticipated by all students. Students sing Christmas songs as a grade level, and the fifth graders play their recorders.   This year we had a special surprise dance, "What Does the Reindeer Say," by the sixth graders. 

The assembly is also a time to reward students for their reading.  Students receive tickets throughout the year for their reading. Their tickets are entered into a drawing.  During the assembly names are drawn for prizes.

Second Grade Service Learning Project

The generousity of students from Mrs. James' and Mrs. Thatcher's second grade class touched the lives of many during this holiday season.

Parents and students generously donated fleece to make blankets, and then delivered the blankets to the Salem Beehive Home and to Latter Days Assisted Living in Santaquin.

Students sang Christmas songs, and then passed out the blankets to the residence of these homes.  Smiles were seen on all faces, both young and old.

 It was an experience all will remember and cherish!!

Every year it is a tradition for Salem Elementary to hold a Turkey Gobbling contest. There are two categories, gobble and strut, in which students can compete.  Grade level winners each took home a pumpkin pie! We definitely had a great time this year!!
