Salem Lutheran School News

We have a teacher inservice day this Friday. NO SCHOOL for Preschool through 8th grade that day! Enjoy the long weekend and remember to turn your clocks back one hour on November 3 for Monday. :)

The 8th-grade class is planning to travel at the end of the school year for their class trip. They will be organizing several fundraisers to help them. Butter Braids are a huge treat for all who have ordered in the past so we hope to keep the tradition going and benefit the 8th graders too. An order form will be available on the church entry information table, in each preschool classroom, in the school office, or feel free to contact any 8th grader to place your order. Checks should be made out to Salem Lutheran School. Order today so you can stock up on this yummy treat to serve over the holidays and throughout the new year (they come frozen and must be baked)! Last day to order: Monday, November 4 Delivery Date:   Monday, November 18 Our 8th Graders thank you for your support! Alexis Ethan Lars Noah Elijah Kaitlyn

Veterans Day Salem is having a program to honor the veterans that the students at Salem know on November 11th at 2:45 pm. The students will sing patriotic songs, read some poems about our veterans, and thank them for their service. All veterans, their families, and families of Salem are welcome to attend. The students will also be filling out sheets with their veteran’s picture, the branch of service and wars they fought in. We will then use those sheets to make a Wall of Fame where we will hang all of them. Confirmation Examination 1 The 8th graders at Salem have the opportunity to share what they are learning about their faith in Confirmation class with the congregation on November 17th.
