Students at Salem Junior High School participated in celebrating the World Cup during the months of November and December. The World Cup normally takes place during the summer months. Due to Qatar’s high summer temperatures, the events played this fall instead. The change in the event dates provided a perfect opportunity to include students in this event as a learning experience.

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.
