Saints Lose Round Two in Eagles' Nest

By -
In the tenth game of the TCLGSAL season, our Saints made our second trip to Shakopee in ten days to take on Bloomington’s top squad. Due to sickness, injury, and travel, three key players from the Saints were unable to make it to the game on Friday. We knew that this was going to be one of the most challenging games of the entire basketball season, regardless of the circumstances.
From the opening tip until the final buzzer resonated throughout the Eagles’ Nest, the high energy and effort level of our Saints never wavered. Assistant coach Neal Anderson and I were very pleased with the way our kids went about their business, focusing only on the aspects of the game they could control. Even though we could not help the circumstances or the opponent, our Saints that were present at the game used this opportunity to make the most out of their extended playing time. While it was a predictably difficult night of basketball (final score: 8-43), the highlight of the night was seventh grader Alexis’s (2 points) beautiful pull-up bank shot over the tall Bloomington post players.
All in all, this was one of those games that you want to file away and move on to the next one. It is my hope and prayer that we get healed up and back to full strength for next Friday’s Parents’ Night game against the undefeated Cougars from Cross of Christ!

Next Year Update I know there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the next school year and what it will entail. As we continue to wait for updates from the CDC and our Government, I wanted to share with you the plan for Salem as of now. Salem is planning on having in-person school starting August 31st. We are currently creating a plan for what this will look like with the faculty and the School Board. We are planning on sending the plan out in the middle of July. We also continue to work on plans to go to Remote Learning again if need be. We want you to know that our primary plan is to have in-person school. Through all of this uncertainty, it is important to remember that we have a God who does not change. He has seen the entire plan of this pandemic and will use it for our good. This pandemic has created times that are hard for us to trust in His plan with all that our country is enduring. I pray you can find comfort in God'sWord and know that he loves and has a plan for eac...

Middle School Ski Field Trip—Inclement Weather Plans

By -
Dear parents, we are keeping an eye on the weather for tomorrow. In case our school day is canceled or we have a late start due to inclement weather, we will postpone the ski trip and try to reschedule with Afton Alps for a later date. We will let our chaperones know as soon as possible so they can make plans. Refunds can be issued if a rescheduled date does not work for chaperones. If we are unable to reschedule, refunds will be issued. In the event of a late start, our middle school students will have a regular day of school (beginning later, of course). https://salemsaintsmn.blogspot.com/2018/01/bad-weather-closing-reminder.html
