In the case of having bad grades, you will discuss with your teacher and/or parent how you can fix your grades. If you have an unexcused absence or tardy, you can make it up before school in Ms. Ward’s room every week Monday thru Friday.

Thursday, December 20, was Salem Jr. High's first orchestra concert.  It was a spectacular show with amazing music.  The 7th, 8th, and 9th grade orchestras all performed, and they were also joined by the Salem Hills High orchestras.  The 7th grade opened up the show with three amazing songs.  The first song they played was "Up On a Housetop" followed by "Brandenburg Concerto No. 5", and they concluded their performance with the "Can Can."  The next group to play was the 8th grade orchestra.

SaJHS Wrestling

         Our school’s wrestling team has done extremely well, especially considering that it’s only our first year. Every day after school our team has practice from right after school till five o’clock. The practices start with warm ups and agilities for about ten minutes, then we drill for another ten. Once all of that is over with, the coaches teach us our moves for the day. This will typically take up the remainder of the practice. The final ten to fifteen minutes are filled with constant conditioning.

SaJHS Auditions for Annie the Musical

Submitted by jolynn.ford on Sat, 01/12/2013 - 14:07

This year for the school musical the directors, Mrs. Brooksby and Mrs. Stubbs, have decided to put on the production of “Annie.” Students were trying to keep their grades up all December so they would have a better shot at getting a part in the musical. Auditioners were practicing for days to get the song they chose to preform just right for the judges and directors. As a whole, I think all the students would agree that they were all really nervous, but had lots of fun.
