On November 7th, the students of Salem Jr. High School had the opportunity to watch the students of Salem High School perform the musical “Guys and Dolls”. This play/musical was based on a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, which was based off of two short stories by Damon Runyon, with the music and lyrics written by Frank Loesser. It was written in the 1950’s and is about gamblers in New York finding love.

The students of Salem Hills High did a wonderful job a recreating this musical and bringing it to life. Many of the students enjoyed the play greatly.

The SaJHS History department organized an amazing Veteran's Day observance on Novemeber 12. This included our own student band members playing Taps and Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. Then the teachers discussed the importance of our Veterans and showed videos explaining their sacrifices. It was a touching and impressive activity.

On Thursday November 8th, one of Salem Junior High School's advanced choirs performed at Stokes Market at 4:00 PM. This wonderful singing group sang five songs: Jump, Right Here Waiting for You, Eye of the Tiger, Into the West, and Viva La Vida. Many of the Choir students and audience members gave us their comments on some of these songs. "I really liked the song, Viva la Vida" - Ethan Mayfeild. "I liked the song Eye of Tiger because it was very upbeat, it was a great performance."- Adam Johnson. "I thought it was pretty fun!" Levi Ward. "I think my favorite song we sang was Viva La Vida.
