School Dance January 12

Submitted by sam.mcgrath on

School dances are a fun way to get together as students of Salem Jr. High and have a great time. Our next school dance will be January 12, 2017 and will go from 7-9. Remember that you must bring your student ID and also $3. If you have any tardies or sluffs then be sure to make those up or you will not be able to attend. You must be picked up at approximately 9:00 pm and there will be no activity of any sort at the school after the dance.

Legacy Wall at Salem Jr High

Submitted by neely.mcewan on

Our new Legacy Wall, which highlights "Liberty's Story," was installed over the Christmas Break in the 300 Hall by the Cafeteria. It looks awesome! Thanks to all those who contributed money to bring it to our school. We raised nearly $4000 through community donations. Come by the school some time and see it. You can also learn more by using the interactive features online by scanning the QR code located on the first plaque of the wall. Thank you so much for your support of Salem Junior High School.

Christmas Sweater and Hat Day

Submitted by sam.mcgrath on

In celebration of the Christmas season, students were invited to come to school wearing their favorite Christmas sweaters and hats. Some of the students are wearing traditional sweaters and Santa hats while others have taken it as a personal challenge to wear some amazingly ugly and extravagent sweaters. Here at SaJHS we hope that everyone enjoys their Christmas break and we look forward to seeing the students again after the New Year.

F.A.C.S. Exploration with Mrs. Larson!

Submitted by sam.mcgrath on

Mrs. Larson’s 8th grade F.A.C.S. class made these beautiful, wonderful, Christmas towels! We traced the design that we wanted and got the material they thought was cute to us. We cut the traced design and stuck it to the material. Then, we ironed it so that the design was stuck to the fabric, then we cut it out. We pulled off the sticky part and stuck the fabric to our towels. Next, we sewed around the design to make it stay on the towel. It also made it look super cute. Some students put colored glue stuff on it to add more effect to the design.

Scavenger Hunt

Submitted by sam.mcgrath on

Mrs. Van De Graaff's 8th grade history classes went on a scavenger hunt today. "Kids have a lot of energy during the holiday season, so I decided to put that to use by having them run around the school finding lost stories of the Revolution. I decided to do something fun for them as a little Christmas gift so they wouldn't get bored sitting in the classroom all day. They tend to remember experiences that are unusual and it gets them excited about coming to history."
