July Summer News

By -

Hi Everyone! The summer is starting to get hot so here are a few reminders to keep it cool. :)
  • Summer Tuesday help is needed. We are looking for families to help with Summer Tuesdays again this year. We need help in the following areas:
    1. Set up/take down involves loading a car with a tent, tables, and posters. Setting those items up at the destination and after the event picking them up. You do not have to stay for the event if you are just helping with set-up and take-down.
    2. Meet and Greeter is talking with people as they walk by the tent. We will have a craft for the children to do inside the tent, so you can invite families to try the craft and talk to the parents as the child is doing the craft. We will have pamphlets for church and school you can hand out and use to talk. 
    3. Craft Helper is helping the kids complete the craft that is being done in the tent. You work with the kids and talk with them about their lives. You can talk about Salem and how it is a great school, but mostly just helping them with the craft. 
    A faculty member has already signed up for each week. The event starts June 9th and runs to August 20th. Again it is only the Tuesdays of that week. If you would like to help contact either the church or school office. 651-439-7831

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
