James Madison (Joshua Neves) surprised Mrs. Larson's class when he showed up to share with them about the constitution. He taught why we need the constitution, laws, rules, and leadership through a paper clip game, a space activity, and a role play with his daughter, Grace. Mrs. Larson's class learned so much and had a blast doing it! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Neves!

Mrs. Bailey's class learns about decimals.

As September started, the 6th grade students arrived at school to find Salem Elementary transformed to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry. Students were greeted by Professor McGonigal and the gameskeeper Rubius Hagrid. Each student was sorted into their respective houses, travelled through platform 9 and 3/4, and then taken to their room which had been transferred into the great hall. Students made their own wands and are now listening to the story, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone.

Salem Stars are off to a wonderful start!  Thanks to Mr. Welburn for taking some time with each grade level to go over school rules and procedures.  We have STARS in this school: Students That Are Responsible and Respectful, who really make our school shine.

To kick off the year in writing, Salem Elemetary third graders spent a day listening to stories at the Story telling Festival.
