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."
National Junior Honors Society is collecting tabs from soda cans for the Ronald McDonald House and they need your help.
Every time you drink a soda, keep the tab and send it with your students to their math teacher. All math classes will be having a contest to see who can collect the most soda can tabs. The class with the most will win a prize.
Every year the choirs go to the mall and sing their best holiday songs! But only the advanced choirs can go, Woman Chorus, Concert choir, and Chamber singers. It is a fun experience and fun to hang with friends, get a treat, and sing your heart out! Mall tour is going to be on Dec 12 . And second terms choir concert is on Dec. 15 at Salem hills high school . Everyone should go because there will be amazing songs and Christmas concerts are always the funnest!

A sea of “I Voted” stickers and talk of politics engulfed students on Monday. Salem Jr. High’s first-ever mock election was open to all students to cast their ballots in favor of a new US President and Utah Governor. Teachers were asked to sit this one out, though protests were raised, and students voiced their opinions about politics in their very own way.
The ballot boxes were stuffed to the tops by the end of the day, and in total about 75% of students participated in the election. The results were…

I love walking past the art classrooms at our school. They always have great projects posted in the hall and everyone can see what they have been learning to do. During the day, art students are always engaged in their learning and having a great time as Mr. Shaffer and Ms. Hallam teach them ways to express their creativity. The other day I walked past Ms. Hallam's class, and her students were having a great time building 3D Tape Sculptures. What a great idea for an art project.
