Salem Elementary recently held it's annual Spelling Bee. Goodwork to everyone who participated and congratulations to Reed Barrett who placed third, Ty Bailey who placed second, and to Brynn Eyre for winning this year's Spelling Bee.
Last week Salem Elementary Kindergarteners invited their grandparents to come to school with them for Grandparents Day. It is such a fun day for Kindergarteners. They are so excited to have the opportunity to be the 'teacher' and teach their grandparents some of the things they do each day at school. Grandparents are always amazed at how much their grandchild knows and has learned in Kindergarten! A lot has changed since they were in kindergarten!
Each month our Principal, Mr. Welburn, reads to the students here at Salem Elementary. Students are always very excited to hear the stories that he shares, and the stories are remembered and talked about throughout the year. It has been a fun way for the students to get to know their principal a little better. They look up to him for his love of reading, and appreciate him taking the time to share it with them.
Dr. Benjamin Hulse, DDS visited Salem Elementary second graders to teach them about proper dental hygeine. Students learned about the affects sugar has on their teeth and how to properly brush and floss their teeth. Students were smiling when they each received a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Dr. Hulse practice is Salem Smiles, which just recently opened it's doors for business. Thank you Dr. Hulse for the wonderful presentation.
