Due to the expected incoming severe weather, we are going to dismiss at 1:00 pm today. This dismissal will allow us to transport all students home, as well as have our bus drivers return before the weather arrives. The safe rooms at all three school buildings will be open to the community for tornado warnings.

Salem High School Prom will be held Saturday, April 27, at Cornerstone Hall from 7-11 p.m. Ticket sales will be sold April 1-12 - NO LATE SALES. All tickets are $50. For information, contact Mrs. Brewer at kbrewer@salemschools.us or Mrs. Elgin at melgin@salemschools.us.

It's that time of year again for the Annual M(art)ch Madness! March is not only for basketball and shamrocks; it is also Youth Art Month. We are having our own M(ART)CH MADNESS to see what piece of art is voted the champion for this year's contest. Our theme for this year is Illustrations created by Illustrators. Illustrations are a unique art form in that they help to tell a story or can carry a story without even needing words. You can't judge a book by its cover, but there is something magical about illustrations that literally draw people into a story and affect how you experience a book. We hope you will participate with us! You can vote for your favorite illustrations here: https://forms.gle/LZ52zy6Dyfad18rq5

Students in Mrs. Elgin's Principles of Teaching class is working on introductory lessons this week. Brooklyn introduced the differences between sensory, short term and long term memory. Kendall introduced jump roping and Zander introduced ecosystems at the creek. They had to choose a state standard and build the lesson around that standard. It is a beautiful day to take learning outside!

Senior night will be held tomorrow night for all winter sports athletes. The recognition will take place between the JV and varsity games, at approximately 7 p.m. We are proud of these student-athletes and the dedication to their sports. We hope you will join us!

Taking dual credit classes in high school is just one of the many benefits of being a student at Salem High School. This graphic only represents classes offered through Ivy Tech, we also have students taking classes through Vincennes and IU. The dual credits will transfer to ALL Indiana colleges and universities and most out of state schools as well. That means many SHS graduates that go on to college are able to graduate after 3 years, saving several thousand dollars in tuition.

Attention parents: This letter was sent home with your child in January. We will be conducting this state-wide Indiana Youth Survey in the next 10 days. Thank you for your cooperation!

The SHS Student Council is planning dress up days in honor of Valentine's Day next week! Show your school spirit and help us celebrate a fun week!
