On Friday October 1st, the Salem Jr. High band joined the Salem Hills High School marching band for a night of fun at the high school football game. Students rehearsed with the high school band, enjoyed pizza before the game, and performed the National Anthem and 2 pep band tunes in the stands. It was also a highlight of the night to see the high school marching band perform their award winning field show. The football band night is always a highlight of the Fall season for the band and percussion students at Salem Jr. High!

We welcomed new students to Salem Jr with a lunch of pizza and games.  Fun and new friendships were had by all. 

Due to the overwhelming response for the Love and Logic Parenting Workshop, Nebo School District has partnered with Spanish Fork City and is offering another virtual session.

Youth athletic leaders from secondary schools in Nebo School District gathered for Fall Captains’ Academy. This program is a powerful venue for students in leadership positions to increase communication and friendship among student athletes. 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.

Apparently There IS Such Thing As A Free Lunch... But Only One Per Day: The free school lunch program this year provides one lunch and one milk for each student during their assigned lunch period. Sadly, extra lunches are not allowed. With program changes and a shortage of lunch ladies, the logistics and workload of running a lunch room and feeding hundreds of students each day has increased greatly. Salem Jr's lunch ladies are the best around, let's help them out by following the rules.
