Salem Volleyball News

By -
This past Sunday, the Salem B-girls volleyball team had the opportunity to play in a tournament at West Lutheran High School. They started out the tournament with a strong showing in the pool play, winning every one of their games and only losing one match during those wins. Our fourth graders, Ellie and Kayden, both had phenomenal serves and scored several points for the team. The girls were working hard and in what was, for many of them, their first volleyball tournament. The Saints were given the #1 seed in their pool and received a bye in the championship bracket. Our first game during the bracket play was against King of Grace and it was a close match. The Saints lost the first match by a close margin but managed to pull off a win in the second. The third match was still close but King of Grace ended up winning by just a few points. This placed us in the fight for third place. Our opponents, Holy Trinity, had a great team but we had girls that were not going to give up. We had great leadership from our older players and we won the first match by two points. Holy Trinity rallied and won the second match. The third match we found our second wind and started to serve well and even set up a bump-set-spike! The Saints found the win and took home the third place trophy! Great attitudes and perseverance are what the girls credited for giving them the will to keep pushing on even when sweaty and tired.

Update on Stillwater School Board's Proposed Change of Start Times

By -
This is an update on Stillwater School Board’s proposal to change school start times in 2019-2020. The Stillwater School Board met last night and one of the topics on the agenda was the proposed changes in starting time to accommodate a later start for the high school students.  This change in start time for the high school would affect the start and end time for Salem students.  In the proposals presented last night, Salem would start school between 9:15 and 9:40 a.m., and end between 3:45 and 4:10 p.m. Jane Grobe and I spoke on how starting later and getting out later would affect our students’ learning and how it would disrupt family schedules. The middle school, where some of our students participate in after-school extra-curricular activities, would have their school day ending at 2:00.  That would mean if students left Salem for after-school activities, they could miss over 2 hours of instruction to be at the start of the middle school activities. The board’s discussion on th
