K-8 Art Adventure Program 2018-2019


Dear Salem Families,

Salem is again participating in the Art Adventure Program through the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. We are VERY excited to be studying and touring the Museum’s upcoming Exhibit, “ Egypt’s Sunken Cities”. Because of the Popularity of this exhibit, we are being limited to only 10 volunteers. Those names have to be in place by the end of next week(September 28) so that on October 1, the museum can release the unused training spots to other schools.

The training is at the MIA on October 30 and 31 and November 1, from 10 am-12. Jennifer Bye and Elaine Kannas are both going on the 31st and would welcome carpooling with anyone if you would feel more comfortable getting to and from the museum as a group. There is also a training session on November 1 from 5-7 if the 31st does not work for you.

You DO NOT have to have an extensive background in Ancient History or Art History to participate in this! People from all walks of life help out as a volunteer and the museum provides AWESOME training. Jennifer and Elaine would love to have you join them in this exciting project!

 PLEASE let either Jennifer Bye or Elaine Kannas know if you are interested. Remember the deadline to let us know is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

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
