Principal's Note
Dear Salmon Bay Families:
You deserve kudos, kudos, and more kudos!
Thank you for your “out of this world” support of the Salmon Bay at the auction. Your generosity, with both your checkbooks, as well as your time, was amazing. That support took so many shapes and forms: procurement, food, organization, hard work before, during and after, attendance, publicity, and, above all: PARTICIPATION. Thank you! The energy from the event has flowed throughout the building all week, and beyond. Our students are so lucky to have a true model of community to watch and learn from.
This week will take a moment on Friday to recognize a couple of our students. In case you haven’t been aware of it, we often recognize students for their spirit of kindness, participation and responsibility when we do class assemblies. One of our 7th grade students, Leo Pfeifer, won a second place in a national video documentary competition for C-SPAN. He also received some camera assistance from Ian Derby also in 7th grade. We will also recognize Colin Fallon, 6th grader who, after winning the Salmon Bay Geography Bee, went on to the state contest and placed 9 out of 100 contestants.
Every day our Salmon Bay students continue to show their initiative and confidence as independent learners!
Have a good week!
Jodee

Tidbits that may be of interest to you……

Middle School Reminder: As the weather gets nicer please remember the school does have a dress code policy to reduce the disruption at school. For boys we tend to see sagging pants…but if we see boxer and briefs we will ask students to change or put on a belt. For girls often it is the spaghetti strap tops and the short skirts. We ask that there are no under garments showing (bra straps) and that the skirts are only 5 inches above the knee. This is also on page 6 of their student planners.
Sneak Peeks:
Middle School LA class working on literary essays. It was nice to see students using different revision strategies. I watched one pair of students working together, and one read aloud the essay and the other tapped the table with a pencil if something sounded “off”.
In a math class students were learning to solve quadratic equations using the factoring method. Thank you to Canon for helping me out with values of a, b, and c….I was slow at first but eventually it all came back to me.
In another class students were learning to read text and find direct quotes. Some great biographies are being read Tupac, Joe Namath, Clint Eastwood, King Tut, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, etc. I can hardly wait for Biography night…
