Cougar Tales

The first spirit week of the school year was an incredible success! We had incredible participation and creativity from students and staff all week.

Next week brings a full day of professional development for teachers on Tuesday with no students in the building and our Veteran's Day assembly on Friday. Breakfast will be served in the library media center from 8:50 - 9:25 am. Our 8th grade leadership team will be there to greet and host the veterans. Please RSVP to Kate Bojarski if you are a Salem Veteran and would like to attend the assembly.

We will hold our first annual student vs staff soccer game this afternoon. Staff are ready to take on a strong, undefeated Salem soccer team. Feel free to come out and support this fun event. Adults are $2 per ticket and all proceeds will go to the Class of 2024.

Congrats to our Cross Country athletes on an incredible performance yesterday in the SEMSAC championship. See below for more details! Way to go Cougars!
