On the last day of school before Christmas Break, Salem Elementary students gathered together to celebrate Christmas and reading.  Each grade level performed a Christmas song that they had been learning and practicing in Miss Priday's music class.  Between each performance a drawing was held to reward students who had earned and turned in their reading tickets.  Students whose names were drawn got to pick a prize from underneath the Christmas tree.  At the end of the assembly a grand prize drawing for two two stuffed animals, two remote control cars, and two bikes was held.
