Salem Girls basketball vs Greenfield

By -
On Friday, the Salem girls played their last regular season game against Salem Greenfield. We were missing two of our taller players, which did not help against the height of our opponent. Greenfield came out strong, picking off our passes with their long wingspan. The Saints picked things up in the second half by boxing out, playing tough defense, and running the plays well. Emilie had a nice 3 point shot, and Sophie worked hard driving to the basket and boxing out on the defensive end. I was proud of our girls for getting to the free throw line, since their fear of contact is something we have been working on all season.

The girl’s next game is our conference tournament on Friday, February 9th at Bloomington Kennedy. We look forward to moving into our tournament season and ending the year on a high note. I say this every week, but I am incredibly proud of the entire team for how much they have improved this season. We have spent several practices working on fundamentals and learning the rules of the game, and I think the Salem girls hard work has shown as the season has progressed.

Safety Drills

Dear Parents, We wanted to make you aware of the safety drills that we participate in for the safety of our students and staff at Salem. Your student may mention these so we wanted to make you aware of them as well. We will be participating in 2 different types of lockdown drills with your children. The first type of lockdown is called a Lockdown with Warning. This would be used if there is a threat outside of the building. We would remain in our classroom with the doors locked, blinds pulled and no outdoor play with minimal travel in the halls especially by the main doors. We would continue with our schedule as planned without outside movement.  If it would be at the end of the day, we would keep your children safe here at school and not release them until the threat was gone. We would communicate this with parents through email or phone call as needed. The second kind of lockdown drill is a Lockdown with Intruder. We have set protocols to follow which include locking our classr
