It's the season to help those who can use assistance with the holidays and cold weather. Salem is collecting items that can help others with the needs of the holiday season. Place a new, unwraped toy in the box by the desk in the front lobby. Or bring a new or gently worn coat so others can stay warm. New socks are great, too. Place your items in the box by Dec. 21st. Thanks for your help !

Parent Kick Off Meetings to Help Make Salem Great!

We need your help to make Salem great! The kick off programs for "Fathers on Friday" will be Friday, December 7th from 8-9 AM. The "Moms on Monday" kickoff will be held Monday, December 10th from 8 - 9 AM. Salem needs our parents to commit to time on either a Monday or Friday morning from 8:15 - 8:45 or a Monday or Friday afternoon from 3:45 - 8:45.

We are hoping that parents can volunteer to help with at least one morning (Monday or Friday AM) or one afternoon (Monday or Friday PM) each week. Parents don't have to commit to each Monday or Friday, but any time you can give will be great! We appreciate our parents!
