In honor of Veteran's Day last week, our school sponsored a fundraiser for Utah's Honor Flight. The goal of the fundraiser was to raise $1000 in order to fund a trip for a veteran to go to Washington D.C. to see the war memorials that have been erected in their honor. This is one small thing that we felt we could do to honor the service that veterans have done for our country.

Congratulations to our Salem Jr High Students of the Month for October:

Ashyln Auman 9th
Kirrah Elmer 8th
Emily Balls 7th
Kyrie Kirkwood 8th
Eliza Linford 8th
Luke Hanks 8th
Luis Gonzalez 9th

These students and their parents will be invited to a breakfast get-together. We are so proud of these students for showing what a Spartan is through BODY, HEART, and MIND.

Students at Salem Jr High School have the privilege of assisting Utah Honor Flight in honoring veterans by giving them the opportunity to travel to Washington DC. The veterans will be able to visit the war memorials that were built in their honor.

For most Veterans, visiting their War Memorial is a truly profound experience, a time to cherish, remember, honor, and heal. 

Salem Jr. High Hope Week will be held during the week of October 29 through November 2.  Students are encouraged to reach out to others and make connections to strengthen friendships and learn resilience skills. The theme for Hope Week is “Connections” and daily activities are as follows:

All Week:  Students can pick up a “Hope Squad Scavenger Hunt” card at the Counseling Office and throughout the week gather all the signatures of members of the Hope Squad and turn the card in at the end of the week for a treat.

Nebo School District has secured Collin Kartchner and Katey McPherson to present to parents, "What Every Parent Needs to Know about Screen Time/Device Use & Social Media's Impact on You Child's Well Being and Safety. Click for more information on this amazing opportunity to help your students.

Students at Diamond Fork Junior created a banner and signed messages of support for our students who are still under mandatory evacuation. Everyone here at Salem Junior is so appreciative of what these students have done to show our kids that they care. These kind words and messages of support have helped boost the spirits of our students.

The student council at Springville Junior coordinated an act of love and support for our students today. They recognized that some of our students are stressed and worried about the Pole Creek fire as it threatens their homes. So, they sent a large banner with messages of support along with a thousand hand-written notes with treats attached that will be handed out to students.

We are very touched by the love and support that the students at Springville Junior have shown during this time.

Although school is being held today, please do what you feel is best for your students. We understand that families need to be together during difficult times, and we will work closely with students who miss school because of the fire and evacuations.

Also, students who come to school today will be kept inside all day to avoid breathing the contaminated air.
