Spanish Fork/Salem/Payson Area Summer Feeding Program
This program is sponsored by the Utah Food Bank and is for youth up to 18 years old. No child should have to go hungry when school is out for the summer. No registration required but food must be consumed on-site (no take-out). See flyer for details.
Kid's Fishing at Salem Pond
Mrs. Brighton, along with her technicians, took her Life Skills students and some peer tutors to the Kid's Fishing Day hosted at Salem Pond. Students were able to fish, play at the park, socialize, and enjoy lunch with friends from multiple school districts. We are so grateful to King's Camo and the multiple agencies that help to make this day possible each year!
Last Band Concert
Our school bands did their last concert on Monday the 13th. They have been working hard all year long and it paid off. They sounded great. Mr. Stolworthy took time during the concert to recognize students who have played with the bad all three years of junior high and are now moving onto the high school.

District Poetry Slam Champions 2019
Salem Junior won the district slam for the FIRST time ever last night. These three made the best team we've had yet. Their points combined put Salem at the top. Michael Langton won 2nd place overall. Although Sam Bleggi and Chloe Christiansen didn't place in the top three, the each got very high scores for their poems. If you see them today please congratulate them! I think they were shocked that they won but SO excited. (The giant pencil is the trophy that the winning school gets to keep until the next year.)
Special Olympics Field Trip
Last week, Mrs. Brighton took her Life Skills students and some peer tutors to the Special Olympics hosted at Maple Mountain High School. They were able to compete in some track and field events and had a great time.

The Spartan Showcase is going to be this Thursday, May 2nd. We will have a number
of things around the school that teachers have put on display to highlight what students
have worked on this year.
Fine Art Competition
For our Spartan Showcase during the upcoming Spartan Target Conference, Mr. Shaffer is sponsoring an art competition. He wants to encourage students to submit art projects of all kinds, even if they don't currently have an art class. It can be something that they've done in a class or own their own. He is taking submissions until April 29. See the flyer for more information.
