Mr. Winget's Utah Studies class was greeted one day last week with the lights dimmed, a campfire burning (fake, of course), Native American music playing, and Native American artifacts all around the room. Today was the day that students presented projects they have been working on to display the culture of the early native inhabitants of Utah. The students had a wonderful time sharing what they have learned with their classmates and Mr. Winget has obviously taught them well.

The students at Salem Jr love sports. We have school teams such as the Girls Tennis team and the Cross Country team. We also have the 9th grade Girls Volleyball team. We also have 7th, 8th, and 9th grade football teams. Later in the year we have the Boys and Girls 9th grade basketball teams, with the wrestling team and the Boys Tennis team.  But we don’t just support school sports. Lots of students like to watch college and professional sports. I wanted to see what sports the general student body like.

Vending machines provide snacks and drinks for students all around the school. Many people use them all year long. Our school, Salem Jr.High, has 3 vending machines open to students. Two of them are for snacks and treats and the other one is for drinks.

The Salem Jr High Cross-Country team is a huge running team that competes against other schools. They have a big team that consists of 7th-9th  graders. They are super fast and have a fun time at practice. For the boys' team, Ty Bailey has won every meet so far.
