Students are provided the opportunity to meet with their peers who are leaders in the same activities, discuss and plan how to lift others and encourage sportsmanship and leadership, and collaborate with one another to address shared challenges.

Thanksgiving Break is Here! It's thanksgiving and I know I speak for everyone when I say that we're all grateful for a break from our daily routines! To be fair, I am also grateful that my daily routine is working at Salem Jr High School. When people find out I work in a Jr High, they often make a sound that sounds kind of like "ugh". Usually I forgive them because they don't know how awesome Salem Jr High is and how much there is to be grateful for. I'm grateful for students who come to school ready to learn even when it's frustrating and difficult.

Nebo School District, the Advanced Learning Center, and UVU are excited to announce several upcoming career nights for students and parents.
