SaJHS student says Tumbling Team is needed

Submitted by amy.huhtala on
Our school has many sports for students to choose from. They have tennis, golf, basketball, football, wrestling, drill, cheer, and more. One sport that our school doesn’t have is tumbling. Tumbling is a part of gymnastics that you do on the floor. You learn different skills like back handsprings, back tucks, layouts, whips, and other tricks. I personally think that our school should have a tumbling team because it’s a good way to get your exercise and you can have fun while doing it. Tumbling includes a rod floor, a tumble track, trampoline, and sometimes a double mini.

This is the 5th movie made in the saga in the world’s timeline, but it is the 2nd in the Star Wars timeline. Since this is an opinion article, I going to totally slam this movie, so stop reading now if you love it.

SaJHS students celebrate Thanksgiving

Submitted by amy.huhtala on

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated all throughout the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving started in modern day Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1623 when the Native Americans helped out the English for their celebration. It soon turned into a big feast between the two groups, which was soon to be called Thanksgiving. We now celebrate this holiday to give thanks for “general blessings”. This year, Thanksgiving is on November 26th, and people all across Salem will be celebrating it.
